NOTE: Before I start this FAQ Walkthrough keep in mind that these strategies
are used on the very hard level and thus is a very hard level FAQ Walkthrough,
if you are playing on an easier level then this guide will still work for you
but just you will be over prepared for your oncoming attacks and missions.

1. - Combat Based Games
*******************************************************************************
The combat based games have four different options to choose from, these are
the four different options you may choose from and the strategies I offer:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A. Playing The Military Campaign
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The military campaign is the main focus to the game and is the funnest part
about stronghold, it has 21 different missions to it and I will explain a good
strategy to beat each mission if you need help on beating it. Here are the 21
missions and how to beat each of them.

| - This is as simple as it gets in the game, start by putting your keep down |
| just about anywhere but for a faster beat put it near the bottom near the   |
| trees. Next put your granary near by to your keep, then build 3 or so wood  |
| cutters and 3 or so hunter posts. When your lumberjacks bring back some     |
| wood make a few more wood cutters and hunter posts and soon enough you will |
| achieve victory.                                                            |

| To ensure the safety of your men, you are required to renovate the          |

| - Start by placing your granary right beside your keep, next place 3 wood   |
| cutters just to the left in the woodish area. Now place one hunter post     |
| right beside your granary, when the lumberjacks come back with some wood    |
| put down 4 or 5 more hunter posts to start getting some real meat coming    |
| in. Once the meat starts coming in and you reach 35 meat finish your castle |
| off by selecting the wooden wall and connecting the two open parts of your  |
| wood castle wall, if you don't have enough wood right now just wait about   |
| 30 seconds for more wood to come in to finish it off. With this strategy    |
| you should have victory before or as soon as the wolves start coming to     |
| attack, even if it takes a little longer your archers will kill the wolves  |
| on their own, just move your all of your archers to the right side of the   |
| wooden gatehouse.                                                           |

| - Put your keep down right in the yellow area on the map, it's the          |
| yellowish hilly looking part on your screen. Place your granary just above  |
| your keep on the yellow area, now put down 5 or 6 wood cutters below your   |
| keep near the trees. Next put down 2 or so hunter posts directly behind the |
| granary, once you get some more wood coming in from your lumberjacks put    |
| down a couple more hunter posts and then put down a  armory near your keep  |
| and with it 2 or so fletcher workshops. Once you have 3 or 4 bows put down  |
| a barracks somewhere and create 3 or 4 archers, now just have your archers  |
| attack the wolves on the left part of the map. Your archers should be able  |
| to kill the wolves before they can reach and attack them, repeat this with  |
| all the wolves on the left side of the map and shortly after they are all   |
| dead you will obtain victory.                                               |

| - Build your keep near the top of the map just on the hilly part, next      |
| place your granary below it a bit on the other section of yellow hilly      |
| area. Now build 5 or 6 wood cutters near the trees and with the rest of the |
| wood build dairy farms on the open yellow hilled area. When you receive     |
| more wood cover the entire yellow hilled area with dairy farms and right    |
| after build 2 or 3 fletcher workshops, then build your armory and barracks. |
| When a few bows are made build a small wooden gatehouse on the green ground |
| right below your keep, have it face the proper way which is down to the     |
| right. Now start making your archers and send them to stand on the gate,    |
| close the gate door just incase the oncoming attackers will go through it   |
| and attack you... closing it will give you a second or two more. Once you   |
| have about 3 or 4 archers it's likely that the rats troops will come for    |
| you, they are only spearmen and will be killed before they can even reach   |
| your archers. Keep building bows and training archers and putting them up   |
| one the gate, soon as you have about 12 archers or so your set for the      |
| mission. After a few more waves of spearmen you will emerge victorious.     |

| - This will be your first tough mission if you are playing on very hard,    |
| once the mission starts place your granary behind the keep. Next build at   |
| least 12 wood cutters near some trees, your gonna need a lot of wood and    |
| quick on this mission. Once the wood comes in start making some wheat farms |
| maybe 4 or 5 in the fields below your little island where your keep is...   |
| next build a armory close to the stockpile and 2 or so fletcher workshops   |
| close to the stockpile for now, also build a barracks somewhere to. When    |
| some more wood comes in build a mill close to the keep and then build some  |
| bakeries close to the stockpile and your granary. When even more wood comes |
| in continue to build more wheat farms and bakeries, and soon build another  |
| mill to keep up with the wheat coming in. When you have a steady income of  |
| food raise the amount of food eaten to extra rations and then increase the  |
| tax to +4, while this is going on you need to be building archers with the  |
| bows that are being made.. place all your archers on top of the keep.       |
|                                                                             |
| When you build your first 2 or 3 archers is likely when the rats troops     |
| will attack, have your archers go for the other archers attacking your      |
| archers.. you will need to use your lord here to kill off the spearmen that |
| will make their way up into the keep. When you kill off the first wave of   |
| troops you will need to start mass production bows, when you have enough    |
| wood make more fletcher workshops for more production of bows because you   |
| will need them, now just continue to make archers and stuff them all onto   |
| the keep. After a few more waves of troops you will achieve victory.        |

| area. Expand your stockpile by at least one extra square, now build a few   |
| wheat farms or if you want to just stick with the easy cheese build a few   |
| of them kind of close to your stockpile. When the wood comes in build 2     |
| fletcher workshops along with a armory and a barracks. When more wood comes |
| in continue to expand your food growth until you can afford to give your    |
| peasants extra rations, now raise the tax to 4 and start producing more and |
| more fletcher shops for more bows. Keep training archers as the bows come   |

| - This is gonna be the toughest mission so far if you are playing on very   |
| hard, first you need to send all of your troops up onto the keep from the   |
| start. When the enemy gets through the walls let your archers kill as many  |
| as they can and when they get close to the keep send your spearmen out      |
| after them to kill them all. While this is going on, preferably just before |
| they attack you need to build about 8 or so wood cutters to the far left    |
| where the trees are because your gonna need a lot of wood fast again. Once  |
| you fend off the attack put down 3 or 4 bakeries for food before you run    |
| out, next put up 3 or so fletcher workshops to begin some bow production.   |
| Delete all of your wood fort to gain extra wood reserves, now build a few   |
| wheat farms down below to keep your food coming in. When the wood arrives   |
| from your lumberjacks build some more bakeries, maybe about 8 or 9 in       |
| total. Give extra rations to your peasants even if you can't spear it right |
| now... don't worry your bakers will catch up.                               |
|                                                                             |
| Raise the tax to 4 now and when you get enough money make more fletcher     |
| workshops and even 1 or 2 poleturner shops. Keep training archers and       |
| spearmen as the weapons come in and put them on top of the keep. The next   |
| wave of the rats soldiers will be huge so I hope you worked fast enough and |
| have enough troops, when they penetrate the wall again have your archers    |
| kill as many as possible and then use your spearmen to attack the closer up |
| ones, you may have to use the lord... but be sure not to use him to early   |
| or he will be killed by the many spearmen real fast, only use him if there  |
| are 6 or so spearmen left. Keep building troops and use this technique over |
| and over again until your victory.                                          |

| - This can be a bit of a tricky mission just because of where you have to   |
| put your wheat farms and such, first off place your granary behind your     |
| keep. build 10 or so wood cutters along the trees, build yourself a         |
| marketplace somewhere and then put down some wheat farms, if you run out of |
| wood buy some at the marketplace for now. Now put down one or two hop farms |
| and then build 1 or 2 breweries, put down a mill and some bakeries for when |
| the wheat rolls in. Now start production on some bows by putting down some  |
| fletcher workshops, you will have to fight the first wave of the rats       |
| troops with your starting troops, it should be to difficult... place all    |
| your troops on the keep and use your spearmen when the rats get close. The  |
| one annoying part about this mission.. well there's two the first being     |
| that sometimes the rats archers hide behind your farms or something and     |
| your archers can't shoot at them properly and his archers will just kill    |
| your farmers and other workers.                                             |
|                                                                             |
| The second thing about this mission is that the snake will tell you that he |
| needs a bigger order of ale and it will hike up to 15... and when you get   |
| close to that he will say he needs more which is 20. You can hold the rats  |
| troops off with your own if you can make them fast enough, you won't need   |
| the snakes troops but you get them anyways after you get the 20 ale which   |
| is a must to beat this mission. Anyways build a quarry and 1 or 2 ox        |
| tethers to transport the stone.. when you get 10 stone place down a small   |
| stone gatehouse in the middle of your farms somewhere and place all your    |
| archers up there, this will let your archers be able to start shooting the  |
| enemy sooner and will give them more accuracy then the keep. Just keep      |
| piling them up there and you will be able to fend off all the waves the rat |
| throws at you until you are able to reach the 20 ale mark, then the rat     |
| will throw one big final attack at you but with the help of the snakes      |
| troops it should be easy as pie.                                            |
|                                                                             |

| - This mission is pretty simple and hard if that makes sense, it's simple   |
| in the fact that you don't have to build much but it's hard in the sense    |
| that the rat sends a lot of troops your way. Start by building 5 or 6 wood  |
| cutters up into the treey area, next make some hunting posts to the right   |
| of the castle and maybe a few dairy farms if you can fit them in. Now you   |
| need to put down a marketplace, and when wood or stone comes in you need to |
| sell it all and buy bows, it takes to long to make bows here so buying is   |
| the best option. Try not to get the population to high here, give the       |
| peasants extra rations and hike up the tax to start bringing in the gold.   |
| One thing that is a MUST here is you need to protect your granary, yes the  |
| one that you start off with. Surround it with as much stone as you can so   |
| the rats siege weapons don't bust it down... it pretty much has enough food |
| in it to last the whole mission so if you lose it there's pretty much no    |
| way to recover.                                                             |
|                                                                             |
| Now that everything is set move all your archers into the keep and use your |
| spearmen to move outside to the left of the castle. When the fight starts   |
| use your spearmen to kill as many of their spearmen as you can when they    |
| get close, once they all die off the rats spearmen will climb the           |
| walls(Well most of them hopefully). This is a good thing, why? because when |
| they climb the wall they will all have to walk around your castle walls to  |
| reach the other side where your stairs should be, meanwhile your archers    |
| will kill them off on there hunt to get over there. When you kill off the   |
| first wave just replace any buildings they bust up and continue to sell     |
| stuff and buy bows and train archers. Keep filling the keep with archers    |
| and repair the stone walls the enemy smashed in, this will make them have   |
| to do it all over again and with more archers now you should be able to     |
| finish them off easily. Also if you have the time fix the moat around the   |
| castle they filled in, it will just give you a way better chance of         |
| succeeding if the archers can't somehow do it themselves.                   |
|                                                                             |

| - A pretty simple mission here, first rush most of your spearmen on top of  |
| the keep, send about 8 or so to rush the 2 archers. Once they kill all of   |
| the snakes troops build some wood cutters around the trees and build some   |
| dairy farms around the keep. Once that's established start building some    |
| fletcher workshops and get some bows going. Now build a perimeter turret    |
| close to your quarry, not to close but just to the left of it. Now start    |
| piling all your archers in the turret, continue to expand your food         |
| production until you can give extra rations then raise the taxes up. Keep   |
| piling archers in the turret until you get around 75 archers in the turret  |
| and then you can focus on your objectives. This is a must for this mission  |
| when the snakes troops arrive delete a piece of the stairs going to your    |
| turret so the mace men can't get up and kill your archers. Now when you     |
| have your food and archers established start building some chapels until    |
| you reach the 75% blessed rate, and also rise your population until it      |
| reaches 100 and then it's a easy win.                                       |
