Hello everyone, today, we are happy to bring you the fully edited rules which are included with all retail copies of Stronghold 2nd Edition. It was an intense few days putting all of this together, with the help of some awesome fans, but we succeeded in getting these rules edited,

We were working pretty hard. It began on Tuesday with 9 hour drive to Germany, then on Wednesday we set up booth and unloaded 14 palettes of games. Each palette has more than 250 kilograms of games, so we had fun with some about 4 tons of games for start.
