A "stronghold of democracy" is a term which has been thrown about by politicians and the news media to express the idea that a country, such as Afghanistan or Iraq, which was once a Dictatorship, will allow a democratic government to take hold and that once it does, it will be a place where other forms of government such as communism, or dictatorships will not be able to take over because democracy in that country will have such a "strong hold" on the people. Democracies are seen as more equal and it has often been said that democracies rarely, if ever, go to war with each other, so a country that is democratic is much less of a threat to the U.S. and is more likely to be an ally. Plus, if democracy has such a strong hold in one country, it could spread to surrounding areas. Therefore, the U.S. wishes to make Afghanistan and Iraq "Stronghold Democracies" that can stand the test of time.

Should you buy stronghold crusader or stronghold 2?

Stronghold 2 has more features and is 3-D but has a lot of micromanagement difficulties. Most people prefer Stronghold Crusader and if you buy the Stronghold Warchest you get Stronghold Crusader Deluxe which has twice as many opponents to chose from as the old Stronghold Crusader. The Stronghold Warchest also includes Stronghold, the original game and it has a storyline with a great plot but is much harder than Stronghold Crusader. Of course you can always just but Stronghold Crusader by itself but you will only have 8 opponents to chose from. In Stronhold Crusader Deluxe (in the Stronghold Warchest) you have 16 different opponents to chose from and an expanded Crusader Trail (story mode).
