What noticeably makes Stronghold 2 for PC different from the first game are graphics. It is important because ignoring the hygiene can lead to an epidemic or plague outbreak. Stronghold 2 introduces a completely new feature, the cleanliness of the stronghold. There are almost 140 buildings and constructions available in the game (including a forgery, a mill, a bakery, a quarry, castle parts etc.) and about 20 different production chains which allow creating basic resources (like wood, stone, iron, and grain) and weapons or food. The economical aspect of the game was improved as well. It is worth adding that in Stronghold 2 for PC there are around 24 unit types, including weakly armored infantry, archers and heavy armored knights. Armies can move in a few typical formations like V shaped cavalry. Similarly, it is impossible to destroy walls without having catapults. In this installment, breaking through castle walls is impossible for units not equipped with siege machines, towers or at least ladders. The developers greatly expanded battle options. In addition to the campaign mode, the game also contains sandbox mode and multiplayer. The missions are very similar to those from the previous game – players must complete tasks appointed by the AI, for example gather enough resources in limited time, defend the castle from a few waves of attacks etc. The first one focuses on military aspect of the game while the second one focuses on economy. Much like in the original, the player can select from two singleplayer campaigns. Similarly to the original game, in Stronghold 2 for PC the main focus of the gameplay is to build, and defend powerful fortresses and castles. A full-fledged sequel of Stronghold – a game released in 2001 which proved to be a great middle ages strategy.
