Description
Beneath high walls, all understand the value of obedience.
A stronghold acts as a visible symbol of power and keeps the local people in order. It also helps recruitment in a province. It is, however, a rather old-fashioned structure, but a design that has stood the test of time.
Stone was used in Japanese castles and strongholds to create sturdy foundations, something that was important in a nation so beset by earthquakes. Wherever possible Japanese castle builders preferred to use the landscape to create a formidable defence, but often it was necessary to make a stone platform for a castle. This would then support an impressive collection of tiered towers and walls, a sign of both wealth and military might. The older design of stronghold, though, was designed to keep out traditional foes, not deal with modern artillery.
