Stronghold is really...
 
When we saw the Stronghold game reveal, and even more and as we worked through the rules and technical details, I knew that Stronghold mirrored a game I had already encountered. I even suspected that it was something I had read rather than played, and tried to compare it to the game in the Adept series, but that wasn't it. It was only this evening as I read a post in an April Fool's thread that I got it, which is particularly embarrassing as I finally read the last book in the appropriate series DURING BUILD SEASON.

Spoiler for Game:
Stronghold is the Hunger Games - it's billed as alliance versus alliance, but the real enemy is the field (and, by extension, the GDC). CMP is the quarter quell - a perfect opportunity to break the game, not play it!

Ahh.. so the quarter quell is where the 10th defense comes in..

Ha very interesting. GDC members are the Game Makers. Who is President Snow? Not Dean Kamen I hope!

Edit: Do team members get to send gifts to their tributes?

More likely the sponsors!

So who's accepting an alliance offer in the obvious fashion then?

Honestly I saw Stronghold as a app for your phone l, like clash of clans. Good thing there aren't any microtransactions. Except the fees. Wait, it is just a game from the App Store.

Obviously Frank Merrick. Or would he be that head game-maker guy whose name I can never remember?

Ha yes. Frank Merrick would undoubtedly be Seneca Crane.

Stronghold is a tower defense/offense game. Supercell just released Clash Royale. Coincidence? I think not!
