A new D&D perspective.

<span class="bold">D&amp;D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator</span>, a D&D strategy game, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux - DRM-free on GOG.com

You've fought for kings, slayed evil creatures, and saved kingdoms. Now, it's time to build your own empire, D&D style. D&D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator is a huge, ambitious game. It's no simple task to single handedly run a kingdom - but here, you'll be tasked with just that: from maintaining resources and infrastructure, through managing armies and leading them to battle. Should you persevere, you'll be rewarded with seeing your very own kingdom rise up to glory. In all this, you'll encounter everything that you know and expect from D&D lore and style including mighty heroes and powerful mages. Throughout all this, you'll have to decide for yourself - whether you're a good, lawful ruler, a chaotic, evil overlord, or somewhere right in between.

Build your own dungeons and raise your own dragons in <span class="bold">D&amp;D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator</span>, available now - DRM-free on GOG.com

Stream watch:

Join Classicor at Twitch.tv/GOGcom on Sunday, September 20th, at 10pm GMT (that's 12am CEST, 6pm EDT, or 3pm PDT) and see this title live in action with our D&D master!

There's a few spelling mistakes in the games blurb you might want to fix...

D&D game nosters.

Of the "new" games released today, this is the only one I've never even heard about, I think.

Cool! Another D&D gem!

Very nice to see this where it should be - available to buy and on GOG. Good job, keep it up!

There was also Fantasy Empires, though I have no idea how good it was.

Crosmando: Cool release. I wonder if GOG also have the rights for the other two D&D strategy games "Birthright - The Gorgon's Alliance" and "Blood & Magic" (this one might be with Interplay).

high rated
Can people please refrain from writing reviews and giving game a lowest score with the sole purpose to express their disagreement with GoG pricing policy? It's really childish. The reason I read review is to find out what people who actually played the game like or disliked about it.
Also since when are we judging how much is game worth based on the size of the game in MB/GB? That's even more superficial than graphic standards.

Sounds good, another one I too have never heard of (must not have hit the publications I was reading at the time of it's original release). I'll have to pick it up and give it a try!

Just noticed this myself, had to facepalm really hard.

I'd really appreciate if anyone with sense in their brains could stop reviewing these games 1 star because they think a cheap price tag of $5.99 is "too much". It doesn't matter on the file size either as that's not a good indication as the worth of a game. What does matter is what GOG has to do to get these games to you in the first place, from the legal fees to get the games in the first place, making them work, and getting them online, among other things I probably don't even realize as hidden costs. If anything, we're lucky it's not $20. If you want it the legal and right way, pay the $5.99 and be grateful it's even here.

I bought this the second it came on here. Because damn it, it's so awesome just to see it here. I also scored Al-Qadim Genies Curse. Because it's D&D, and I love this site for all it's hard work.

I left a review myself, but it's the opposite of a lot of these bogus reviews.

Never heard of this. Is it similar to Lords of the Realm? It has similar looks. Regarding the price - people shouldn't forget there are always sales as an option if the price is seen as too high.

Not spectacular to be honest. I'd like it for completeness sake, but it gets tedious very fast. You could compare it with SSI's take on the Total War series (WAAAAAAY before Shogun came out), but the gameplay is quite repetitive. You also end up spending as much time resolving turn changes than you spend actually plotting the turn itself.

Yeah I saw that on the game page that two reviews complained about the price. One person even said that for a 20 mb game it's too expensive. First of all the file size of a game shouldn't be a factor in it's price and most importantly in what universe is 5.99 too expensive for a game? The way you worded your comment this seems like this has been reoccurring. If that is the case when did this happen and what is the reasoning behind it?

I simply do it the other way than writing negative reviews or griping about the price: I simply wait till the inevitable sale that puts it on discount along with the other SSI gems i still want.
