The Stronghold Legends 'Deathmatch' mode is essentially what the Skirmish mode has been in all previous Stronghold games. But, it has also been used in Stronghold ever since the beginning. It's typically used in many multiplayer or first-person shooter games. There are also, broadly speaking, different definitions of what Deathmatch and King of the Hill are depending on generally what games you play.ĭeathmatch in essence is a game setup where you play against a number of other players (either humans or computers), and the last person standing wins. However for those of you who may have just been introduced to these concepts for the first time, it may seem slightly confusing. For those already familiar with gaming, these terms should be fairly familiar.
