I. Introduction
***********************************************************************

***********************************************************************

I started playing Stronghold soon after it was released, at a store I 
looked at the back of the game and though it looked like a pretty 
sweet game and of course I was right so I bought it and beat the game 
fairly quickly(Thats the only downfall to this game is the lack of 
longevity).

It was a pretty challenging at the very hard level but soon figured 
out a few well placed statagems and beat the game over and over. I 
recommend for first time players of the game to not play this game 
on hard or very hard, play it on easy or at most on normal just to 
get the feel of the game and build your skills on the game.

If you are having troubles beating this game then this FAQ Walkthrough 
will definitly will help you out of those hard fought missions, or if 
you just need alittle push to get going on some of the many other 
missions then its for you as well.

This FAQ Walkthrough is based on stategies used on the very hard level 
and thus this is a very hard level FAQ Walkthrough, if you are playing 
on an easier level then this guide will still work for you easily just 
you will be over prepared for your oncoming attacks and missions.
