Stronghold Kingdoms

In Stronghold Kingdoms, released on AND, PC and iOS, we can join one of a few European countries and the game nicely portraits a life in a medieval society based on feudal concept. Thanks to advanced diplomacy system we can join various political groups, create and break alliances, gradually increasing prestige and worth of our kingdom. The status of our alter ego in the entire kingdom depends on honor points. We can get them in a few ways, e.g. by carrying about our subordinates, holding banquets or winning fights. After getting enough points we can spend them on increasing our rank. The game has twenty-two ranks – from a village idiot to a prince and each rank offers us the access to new options and possibilities for development. Popularity is another important parameter. It depends on various factors such as taxes. If our popularity is higher, it is more likely that people will want to live in our lands.

A new feature, unavailable in other games from this series, are cards that grant us specific bonuses. Some of the cards can be acquired for free but most of them can be bought with real money. After paying a certain amount of money we get a set amount of virtual coins that can be spend on decks. They are divided into many categories: some of them increase production, others give advantage to our scouts or armies or they can be used once to increase our supplies. The developers also created a complex system of rankings and stats, which allows players to see who, e.g. is the best apple farmer in a particular day or who is the best fighting player of a month.
