Stronghold mounts retail Crusade

FireFly Studios’ castle sim goes gold

UK-based FireFly Studios has finished work on real-time strategy title Stronghold: Crusader, and the game will be on store shelves in time for the end of September. Described as a "castle sim", Stronghold charges you with minding a bustling castle full of Fletchers, Brewers and Armourers, whilst holding off waves of assassins, war engines and the constant threat of fire. Stronghold: Crusader is set in a distant Arabian land during the 11th and 12th centuries, although one imagines that the playtime has been scaled down somewhat.
