Stronghold Hints, Tips

Free items

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "game info" file in the "stronghold" folder. Change all the values to zero to make everything in the game free.

Woodcutter

Place 1-2 Woodcutter-huts near the trees you want to remove. I.e.: If you need/want to build in areas with trees.

Build fences

When bears kill civilians, your popularity decreases. To avoid this, simply build a wood fence around a bear when it appears.

Baker / Brewery / Weapons&Armory

Build a wall before you place the Huts. You will now be able to build up against the wall. Now, remove the wall again and you can see inside the Huts from 3 more angles.

Stockpile / Granary

When nearly full, you will get the message ; "Stockpile / Granary Full". Build more Stockpile / Granary in connection with the existing. If you want to "split/move" the Stockpile / Granary,all you need is to build in that given direction and tear down the Stockpile / Granary´s you don´t want. You will now have 2 or more groups you can continue from. Use the same method if you want rows of Stockpile / Granary´s with an ayle in between.
