Stronghold Legends (2006) runs on the Stronghold 2 engine but swaps history for myth: King Arthur, Siegfried and Vlad Dracula, with dragons, giants and werewolves to recruit. The camera keys and wall keys carry over from Stronghold 2, but the Treasury and Monastery keys are gone and N opens the legendary troop panel instead. Units take orders on a right-click, and magic powers are aimed the same way.
