The term references methods used to gain an unfair advantage in the Stronghold: Definitive Edition video game. These methods circumvent standard gameplay progression, potentially altering resources, unit statistics, or other game parameters to ease challenges or achieve rapid advancement. Examples include the utilization of console commands, external programs, or modifications to game files.
The availability and usage of these approaches can dramatically influence the gaming experience, impacting fair competition in multiplayer environments and potentially diminishing the sense of accomplishment in single-player campaigns. Historically, the appeal of such methods has stemmed from a desire to overcome difficulty, experiment with altered game mechanics, or expedite progress within the game world.
