There are just too many problems in the game associated with battles - first of all, the frame rate performance of the game is absolutely terrible at times, particularly when a lot of action is happening on screen, but even with moderate to low action the game will usually stutter along poorly. Battles are obviously a big part of the game - the Peace campaigns will only probably take your interest for a little while if at all.
Unfortunately though, at times the chaos is not really all that fun no matter which mode you're playing in. In fact, Siege is quite possibly the best mode in the game - while it has no storyline or rewards as such, it is good fun to just load up an all out war every so often and watch the chaos unfold without the hassles of micromanagement. Outside of campaigns, both the Peace and War modes have unique sub modes - for example, in Peace mode you can do a "free build" or play on a custom map, whilst in War mode, which can also do custom maps, you can setup instant battles in the form of "Kingmaker" - a classical skirmish mode, or "Siege" - which pits defenders of a castle against attackers, allowing you to take control of either side. There are campaigns for both sides, with the ability to play custom made campaigns as well. If you feel like a battle, you obviously choose War, and if you feel like a quieter, "community" building style of play, you choose Peace. For instance, both campaign mode and skirmish modes are broken down into two categories - The Path of Peace, and The Path of War. Stronghold 2 features all the usual suspects when it comes to game modes - campaign, skirmishes, a tutorial etc, however these modes have depth you don't typically see in an RTS title.
