Recently I got and have been playing Stronghold Definitive Edition. It's great to have new content for that game, however IMO there isn't enough castle building in it. The missions are a lot of take this army there, get the VIP over to this place, etc. There is a little castle building in the new economic campaign but the scenarios are designed to be tricky as all get-out unless you do things just the right way, meaning try a lot of things that seems reasonable, and then finally hit on the one that works. Often it's like "Well I'm going to need to quarry that stone, but wait. That's where the bandits come from. They will just wreck my quarry." Or, "If I hoard enough wood I will be ok, but wait, the trees die off at a certain point in the scenario so that brings wood hoarding to a standstill." I like it, but don't love it like I did when Stronghold (and later on, Crusader) came out. Try it and enjoy, and if you've never played the original Stronghold and Crusader, definitely do,
