Description
High walls and higher towers impress the lowly.
A stronghold looms above the people in their villages, a reminder from dawn to dusk of where their loyalties should lie, and to whom they must pay their taxes. It is a strong base for the local garrison troops, enabling them to control the area, and act as a barrier to any invader. The stronghold also acts as a centre for recruiting new troops to serve in the daimyo’s armies, and helps increase the clan’s fame.
Stone was introduced as a construction material for Japanese castles to provide protection against the elements and create sturdy foundations, always a problem in a nation so beset by earthquakes. Stone foundations also allowed the building to have more stories. A large, sloped foundation platform was first carved out of the earth, which was then clad in stone to make a very strong bastion. These foundations could support impressive multi-storied towers, a sign of wealth and power. The bastions were also obstacles for any enemy attack, and were perfect for the defenders to rain arrows down on besiegers.
Other Information
The Stronghold is the upgrade of the basic Fort. It is essentially the basic fort with a couple of Arrow Towers added for slightly more firepower. It's still not a great defense although it certainly helps by providing cover, a good place to fire missile, and by making the men unbreakable.
It provides another building slot and consumes 2 food. When it is attacked, in addition to the Samurai Retainers it provides a unit of Yari Ashigaru Garrison.
It can be improved to a Fortress for more repression, replenishment, and military research. This upgrade will significantly improve the strength of the Castle, and provide another build slot and recruitment slot. However, since it costs another food, it damages your wealth growth, and should only be built in important recruitment centers and regions at risk.
Like all castles, the Stronghold cannot be demolished.
