New events have been added - wedding ceremonies, jester parades and etc. The statues have a good influence on people and increase your popularity. A brand new resource that let you build statues. The more enemy units you kill and the more enemy buildings you destroy, you gain war glory. You need to build catapults or other siege equipment in order to destroy your enemies' walls. New thing in the tactics is that the normal infantry can't attack walls anymore. The new units feature mercenaries who can dual wield weapons and also sail. The estates are semi-independent villages (without castle fortifications) that produce their own goods that the owner can send through carts to his castle or his allies.
One new addition to the original stronghold is the inclusion of estates, that a player can "buy" with his accumulated honor (gained by popularity, holding feasts, dances, jousting, etc.). Military units are directly controlled individually or in groups, sometimes quite large with sieges or battles involving many hundreds on each side. There are a lot more ways to entertain them but all that is achieved by carefully planning the state's economy and policy. In order to keep people's interest in your castle, you have to feed them, protect them, build them houses to live, catch troublemakers, kill the rats who spread diseases and clean the people's poo to keep them healthy. Basically you play as medieval lord, who controls his kingdom and tries to keep his people pleased and fight his foes in the same time. New units and AIs have been added as well as new rules and tactics. Apart from that it has an improved 3D engine. This time the game bets more on castle maintenance, making it even harder.
Stronghold 2 is the third sequel of the Stronghold series. The game takes place during the second half of the 11th century in medieval England.
