Creative city management meets real-time war strategies in Fortaleza. Starting on a remote patch of land with only a small grove of trees and minor fortifications, players must develop their castles into centers of cultural and economic prosperity, always balancing additions and advancements with maintaining a stable and productive base. The player must also build a capable military force, to defend the castle walls and seek new conquests.
Some aspects of the game may appear similar to games such as Dungeon Keeper or Majesty, in which desired outcomes are effected by adding new buildings and town features that encourage new units and technologies. Other aspects of Fortress are more similar to those of conventional strategy games like Warcraft or Age of Empires, coordinating the attacks and defenses of a diverse army in real time. Management decisions can have interdependent consequences. Seeing the severed heads of fallen enemies on wooden towers can scare invading armies and improve defense, but it can also be annoying to the city's hard-working peasant citizens and lower production.
