Quick notes
- Build a complete weapon chain. Raw wood and iron are stored on the stockpile, then workshops make equipment for the armory.
- Separate ranged and assault roles. Archers are useful on castle defenses; crossbowmen specialize in harder targets.
- Check the recruiting panel. Stronghold 2 adds honor costs and a different unit roster to the original game.
- Keep siege personnel protected. Ladder carriers and engineers do little when isolated under tower fire.
Useful tip
Ladder carriers and engineers do little when isolated under tower fire. Support the approach with your main army before deploying siege equipment or sending troops onto enemy walls.
