I totally agree with you.. We were creating two castles with my cousin and try to siege with turns on same computer... Games are filled with toxic gamers now...
I have no idea what black magic the developers put in this game to make a 17 year old game run completely flawlessly with no bugs at all on a modern operating system. But I'm sure thankful they put it in the game.
A summer evening, the family are roaming the house going about their day. I sit in my Dads room playing Stronghold. The sound of the AC in the window, and the cool relief from the summer heat, mingling from cheap speakers with this song. I'm stuck between gratitude for experiencing it, and the nostalgic pain of knowing it will never return. The house is torn down, the family broken and scattered across the country. The ignorance replaced with horror, the calm with hopelessness. If there's any solace in it all, it's that in this unending eternity, this moment exists in the tapestry of it all.
This right here is my childhood. It was the very first video game I ever played and damn did I love it. I remember messing around in the map editor and sitting on my dads lap while he played the campaign. That was before the divorce. When he left he gifted me the game. Luckily my parents are still friends, but back then it really shook me.
I'm writing a novel set in a medieval fantasy world. I'm often listening to this jam when describing locations or when the heroes sit at their bonfire. Stronghold was a huge inspiration for me and it's probably the first computer game I ever played.

Yeah, let's just leave and never come back until he has lots of food and low taxes while he's in the middle of a war. (Because people back then appearantly had high standards back then)
when i moved in my new apartment i used to listen to this, look from the highest window down at the gardens and trees and feel at peace. 1 yr later quiet neighbors move out, party bitches move in, goodbye, peace! now its party rock anthem, smoke and WHOOO all night :)
Two months ago I was painting all the walls of the new apartment when I moved, I felt like I was building my own "new town" like when I was a child playing Stronghold, it was a really nice feeling :)
it's rare that a game has so many sound elements that are so memorable. this song Castle Jam, the other 2 songs (Under an Old Tree and Maiden Song), the scribe's comments (like 'can't place that there, milord') , and units' responses with the most memorable ones coming from the crossbowman and maceman.
Это... Шедеврально... Stronghold... Детство и моя настоящая жизнь... Помню, сыграл в нее где то в году 2004, у меня тогда брат родился, и я был поражен саундтреками и графикой... Firefly... Мы будем помнить ваше творение всегда...
In Stronghold 2 the narrator says sometime around 2-4AM "Its very late Sire, you need your beauty sleep" or something along those lines, cant quite remember exactly
Yes, but he also ripped off other people's work. Like this piece, based on a song (pretty strongly) from the movie Excalibur. And the Six and Stones track from Conan the Destroyer. Which leaves a sour taste in my mouth
Oh man this brings back memories. I'd forgotten how great this soundtrack is. I'd even say it bests Age of Empires II's soundtrack in terms of consistent quality.
Man i still remember how the giant heads would instantly go to where most normal unit heads are (near their feet) when playing the burning animation XD
Ever wonder if this kind of music actually existed back then, or if Hollywood and media companies sort of just came up with a cool genre to use for their movies and it just caught on?
'The Dance and Feast' “All I really want, is to show m'lady to the dance and feast you see, but all this talk and trouble of late, has surely taken hold of me. Cannot place my finger 'pon it, yet I can feel it there, looming ever nigh, stirring up a fear; something deep within of everyone I know, a silent wonder burns, I'm to watch it grow. "And OH, this new King quite possibly, the most wicked man that has ever been, that the people should all shame, below such cruelty that was him." As that of foretold, a prophecy of old; the great plan unfold, for All to behold. That which was spoken, nary to be seen; pure entity from above, in which we believe. Still it is m'lady, to whom I must give praise, for after all said and done, it was Her through the days; mending of the wound, tending to the youth, 'tis her eyes, in which found my truth . . . ”
Can't freakin stop listening to this. I remember I used to play stronghold when I was just a child and the music brings back memories. I've found the original cd but it won't work, too old and no compatibility. But I'll make it mine again.
Is that what he says when he wins?I never got this message because i never lost to him..Wonder what he'll say in Stronghold Crusader 2...I'm gonna find out because i'm getting it.
if we play stronghold 2 oncemore. we feel alive in the beauty of that time. i feel live in there. hmm 10th century i think. theres is castle, grananary, stockpile, bakery, black smith, jester and more and soldier / knight too
Stronghold made the best medieval soundtracks of all.
FUCK YEAH
Robert Euvino is the composer's name :)
Arcania
@Padapwns Hell Yeah My Liege.
Especially combined with Medieval II Total War mods like Bellum Crucis, what a magnificent combo.
Ahhhhhh... life in the early 2000s...
Happy times, them were. The people were all so much friendlier...
Oh ‘ow we feasted… and courted the fair maidens…
I totally agree with you.. We were creating two castles with my cousin and try to siege with turns on same computer... Games are filled with toxic gamers now...
Agree with you
Then came the neighbors.....
you wrote this comment before the peak of covid lockdowns. How much worse things have gotten....

That's Microsoft putting a lot of effort into supporting old programs on Windows.
I guess you're playing on the HD version not the original
@@Soldier842 Yeah, but they also need to implement the Windows API's properly, so no, it's not only Microsoft, it's largely Firefly studios.
@@nolemretaw Original works completely fine for me, I just had to play in compatibility mode to get it to run.
@@SpaciousPancake for me it just works, didn't even need to do anything special(even if it's win10)
"our food stocks are dwindling my liege"
I just read it in the same voice out loud XD
GeminoSmothers me too lol
The people are unsure of you sire.
@@tattygumcancer people are leaving the castle
Our granary is empty sir !
"Morning me lordship"
how the comments are divided
50% stronghold quotes
30% childhood memories
10% talking about this song
10% about stronghold
1% age v stronghold replies
I played this when i was a child.. Now I'm 26.. Man the time goes fast.. We can't go back, but this soundtrack revives old and good memories.. 😊
Nice username lol
me too
now you are 30 years old 😭life just keeps going
@@KryzysX Yeah and I have a son now and also a daughter soon 😁
@@befa5322 Wow... Happy time for you 🖤💙
Wood stocks are too low sire. :D
The glorious forces of De Puce will bruce you aside.. as I would brush a fly from my arm!
"These are desperate times my lord, You will need ALL YOUR COURAGE, in the days that lie ahead"

Please explain to me what is bruce? I can't translate. Is it a verb?
ArtjomAlexandsson I can’t tell if this is a joke or you actually don’t know

MORE WOOD NEEDED
Not enough wood milord!

best medieval soundtracks ever
Honestly yeah, I've listened to a lot of medieval type music and this honestly is the best of the best so far.
Love it. This song always makes me happy.
Back in the days Soundtracks like this wäre made with so much Passion!
this is the best soundtrack in Stronghold
*The people hold you in great esteem my lord*
Can't put that there, m'lord!
Well Mr.Richard I need a square tower right here so I know who I'm taking out first.
This right here is my childhood. It was the very first video game I ever played and damn did I love it.

How goes the writing? Did you finish? :D
God. I agree with the video description. Whoever wrote the soundtracks for the earlier Stronghold games was fucking brilliant. I wish I had more of it
Robert Euvino is dope
The *golden* era of RTS games...
Нужен камень
Запасы провизии убывают, мой лорд
Мы постепенно расходуем деньги, сир
Запасы дерева слишком малы, сир
Провизии почти не осталось, милорд
...
Запасы дерева слишком малы, сир
А налоги то великоваты.. милорд..
Казна пустеет, милорд
В замке чума.. ваша светлость..
Bit much these taxes...
Yeah, let's just leave and never come back until he has lots of food and low taxes while he's in the middle of a war. (Because people back then appearantly had high standards back then)
No taxes are good taxes, that's my motto.
People are LEAVING the castle...
when i moved in my new apartment i used to listen to this, look from the highest window down at the gardens and trees and feel at peace. 1 yr later quiet neighbors move out, party bitches move in, goodbye, peace! now its party rock anthem, smoke and WHOOO all night :)
Salute Lady Brienne
hail fellow knight!
Solaire Of Astora Sunbro!!
get a bunch of fellow knights and batter down their door and claim their apartment as apart of your realm. or go in yelling wolololololo
Two months ago I was painting all the walls of the new apartment when I moved, I felt like I was building my own "new town" like when I was a child playing Stronghold, it was a really nice feeling :)
I missed old time
Ali Kara yea, the times where graphics wasn't everything
@@obiwanjovi2925 wdym the graphics are amazing for stronghold they still hold up today
Доброе утро, ваша светлость
Люди восхищаются вами, сэр
Omg im legit crying... the memories
it's rare that a game has so many sound elements that are so memorable. this song Castle Jam, the other 2 songs (Under an Old Tree and Maiden Song), the scribe's comments (like 'can't place that there, milord') , and units' responses with the most memorable ones coming from the crossbowman and maceman.
"Morning ye lordship."
"Arrrrgh?"
"We await orders!"
The maceman's responses are the best and funniest of all
Many play Fortnite or GTA 5 today, but I still play Stronghold :)
so true :)
Nicolai2791996 me to 😂❤️
Same here .
Good Choice :)
still playin
DANGER my lord, a massive army of the wolf, will soon be upon us!
Это... Шедеврально... Stronghold... Детство и моя настоящая жизнь... Помню, сыграл в нее где то в году 2004, у меня тогда брат родился, и я был поражен саундтреками и графикой... Firefly... Мы будем помнить ваше творение всегда...
Can't believe this recording from the 12th century is so crisp and clear still!
The music that plays in my head from time to time
"No, no no, not the stocks! Look, oi'll get straight back to work!" -Whipped, overtaxed yet overfed peasant.
still hearing the fire crackling in front of the donjon!
I remember the narrator sometimes say "You have been playing for a very long time, sire!". Could be a different game though, i'm not sure.
In Stronghold 2 the narrator says sometime around 2-4AM "Its very late Sire, you need your beauty sleep" or something along those lines, cant quite remember exactly
Nah it's definitely this one. I'm pretty sure I've heard that too.
@@MrBz123wee That narrator was great. I changed my name to Lord Vader so he'd do the cool quote
@@AllCanadiaReject I never tried that, I did change my name to Sir Flying Poo though
This music is the reason why I still play stronghold 1
im literally crying
Robert L. Euvino is such an underrated composer! He made my childhood!
Yes, but he also ripped off other people's work. Like this piece, based on a song (pretty strongly) from the movie Excalibur.
And the Six and Stones track from Conan the Destroyer.
Which leaves a sour taste in my mouth
Oh man this brings back memories. I'd forgotten how great this soundtrack is. I'd even say it bests Age of Empires II's soundtrack in terms of consistent quality.
Yes!
"El granero esta lleno, Mi señor"
@El Correvolande No hablamos español. Hablamos inglés.
Valla que en la version en español tambien era buena pero la de ingles era legendaria
they need to make more stronghold games
But only like stronghold Legends
No, more realistic like crusader 2
no we need stronghold crusader remaster
can't recall the exact quote but it was like "Need more pitch me'lord!" but it sounded like "need more bitch me'lord!"
we all have a bit o' medieval in us!!!
Yes lad!!
I have a lot more tho
WOOD NEEDED!!!
WOOD NEEDED SİR!
"By all that's holy, you fight well. Too well, i fear"
oh wait...wrong game
The Lost Seeker Close enough.
good point
Got the rigs to play AAA games today
but this one, is irreplaceable, and probbaly the only game i would never uninstall
"Twoja popularność spada."
we see how a game soundtrack can make a person emotional :((
Let's not forget Legends.
Man i still remember how the giant heads would instantly go to where most normal unit heads are (near their feet) when playing the burning animation XD
я не играл в стронхолд, но нашел этот трек в одном из голосовании на лучший ост из игры, и я скажу, что чистый кайф
Я прям чувствую себя на средневековом пиру
Мой самый любимый саундтрек из этой игры
А как же six 'n' stones medley
Please tell me that Z does not mean what I think it means
@@8Paul7 Z mean Zelda))))
The foking nostalgia for those castles
I'm crying...
Ever wonder if this kind of music actually existed back then, or if Hollywood and media companies sort of just came up with a cool genre to use for their movies and it just caught on?
I highly doubt it, but it would have been cool
i love this soundtrack in particular.
i use it for relaxing
oh boy. here i go installing stronghold again!
You lords! You're all full of it.
Wolves are abroad in the land mi'lord
'A peasant has gone bad sire'
Love the instrumental music in Stronghold.. Amazing music..
best medieval song out there
'The Dance and Feast'
“All I really want, is to show m'lady to the dance and feast you see, but all this talk and trouble of late, has surely taken hold of me.
Cannot place my finger 'pon it, yet I can feel it there, looming ever nigh, stirring up a fear; something deep within of everyone I know, a silent wonder burns, I'm to watch it grow.
"And OH, this new King quite possibly, the most wicked man that has ever been, that the people should all shame, below such cruelty that was him."
As that of foretold, a prophecy of old; the great plan unfold, for All to behold. That which was spoken, nary to be seen; pure entity from above, in which we believe.
Still it is m'lady, to whom I must give praise, for after all said and done, it was Her through the days; mending of the wound, tending to the youth, 'tis her eyes, in which found my truth . . . ”
Is this something you wrote or is it like lyrics to this music
@@Lochana308 both.
It's a little hobby of mine, writing short lyrics to the songs of video games I enjoy a lot.
best soundtrack Stronghold for ever!!
nostalgia
Definitely the best one in the game ☺️
I always listen to this song when I'm sad cuz makes me happy. Also, whenever I'm happy! Cuz makes me happier!!!!!
the rat,the snake,the,pig,the wolf,and two Saladin's from crusaider doesn't like this.
My home is my Stronghold.
OUR TROOPS ARE UNDER ATTACK MY LORD!
Mornin' your lordship.
If nostalgia had a sound, this would be it
QUICKKKKK MARRRCHHHHH
My childhood without stronghold would be truly unthinkable!
i love this song
I miss Stronghold
Can't freakin stop listening to this. I remember I used to play stronghold when I was just a child and the music brings back memories.
I've found the original cd but it won't work, too old and no compatibility. But I'll make it mine again.
I always jam out to this song
This game and company of heroes was all I needed.
It's good to live in old castle :)
Its like wedding song
Here comes Bessy.
Я искал эту гребанную песню 3 года.... и наконецто нашел..
A message from the wolf !
Beautiful
You go fishing. You go fishing until you're tired and you sink. You sink until you're drowned
RATTY WINS AGAIN! RATTY WINS AGAIN!!! HAHAHHAHAHA!!!
Is that what he says when he wins?I never got this message because i never lost to him..Wonder what he'll say in Stronghold Crusader 2...I'm gonna find out because i'm getting it.

Sempre vou curtir muito essa música, a sensação e a nostalgia que ela me traz são incomensuráveis!
No taxes is good taxes that's my motto
OOO HAVE YOU HEARD? THE PRICE OF FISH HAS GONE UP AGAIN... not that i ever buy fish.
Robert L Euvino made all those beautiful songs
may be tomorrow.or another day.but not now my hero.not now.
La plataforma de brea debe ser colocada sobre la poza de brea en el pantano.
if we play stronghold 2 oncemore. we feel alive in the beauty of that time. i feel live in there. hmm 10th century i think. theres is castle, grananary, stockpile, bakery, black smith, jester and more and soldier / knight too
This kind of music paved the way for musicians like mozart and beethoven it's inticative if I spelt that correct
Ahhhh! Inner peace!
