The civilians buildings that were present in Stronghold 2 are now gone, the remaining were remade in terms of function and honourly events such as jousting, travelling fairs and dances are removed entirely, only existing as a Random Event. This will mean that you will have to balance offense with defense, as you may realize that the only way to stop your enemy from reaching the goal first is to attack and knock him off balance.

Multiplayer has become different in Legends, now focused more on combat than its predecessors, with the addition of new modes such as king of the hill (literally build a castle on a hill and defend it for as long as you can), capture the flag, and an economic-war mode that tasks you with certain goals, such as being the first to gather X number of wood planks. Single player campaigns include King Arthur, a Rhine campaign and Dracula adding creatures like werewolves, frost giants, dragons and more.

Stronghold Legends ( SHL) takes the castle building RTS (real time strategy) series and plunges it into myth and legend, and was released October 2006.
