    Relive history with a remastered and completely reimagined album from the legendary Stronghold 'castle sim' series. This extended soundtrack features original music courtesy of Stronghold series composer Robert L. Euvino. This pristinely recorded volume of East Asian influenced work contains many full length, never-before heard instrumental pieces not included as part of the game’s initial launch.
    More than twice the length of the original soundtrack, Stronghold: Warlords - OST Extended contains two unique iterations. An unembellished version with the music only in its purest form, and a second rendering, referred to as the Tao version, which completely re-contextualizes the material through additional sound design and voice over of select readings from the Tao Te Ching.
    A treat for those with an interest in Eastern philosophies as well as for anyone who appreciates meditative soundscapes. For both versions, high quality uncompressed 24bit FLAC files as well as smaller, lightweight MP3s are provided to allow listeners to perfectly tailor their own playlists.

    Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy the video. I know we've been quiet lately but fear not, we are still working hard on Stronghold: Unreal and other projects. We're just waiting until we have something to show you that we're super proud of! We want nothing more than to show off what we've been cooking but it's not quite ready yet so hold tight! - Aaron

    When it comes to music in media I usually don't pay it much mind. Who composed something is never really something I consider, but Robert Euvino is one of those composors who's name I instantly recognize. His work is simply incredible and I cannot thank him enough for all he's done for this amazing series of games that shaped so many childhoods with equal parts calming, intense and aweinspiring music. The community might be split on the various stronghold games, but everyone can always agree that the soundtrack is bound to be top tier no matter what! 🔥🔥🔥

    The soundtracks are amazing in Stronghold 🧠. They're like a time machine, instantly transporting us back to the castle and the medieval era. I mean no disrespect to devs😁 but it seems that the soundtracks have consistently remained one of the strongest aspects of the Stronghold series 🤣. Even now, years later, the track "Under an Old Tree" still ignites in me the irresistible urge to delve back into the game ❤. Keep up the excellent work with the music-it truly adds an unforgettable dimension to the gaming experience.🙂
