Tactics for the Stronghold.

The Citadel has everything it needs to reach level 7 in the first week. There's no need to overcomplicate things with Ogres and Orcs – it's a waste of money and time.
If you've found crystals, your path leads directly to the Monsters. In the second week, take 2 Monsters and proceed at a brisk pace, looting the map and capturing Castles. If you have an excessive amount of money and a Castle and Capitol are already built in your city, it makes sense to add Ruhs to your army as well.
And you should do this as quickly as possible – move faster, gather more money and resources. Otherwise, if you're a Barbarian and not in a hurry, you'll end up defeated.

Goblins are useless in battle without an upgrade – they are too weak and slow. Hobgoblins can reach the enemy archers and block them. They might even kill someone or at least reduce the retaliation for the Wolf Riders.
During a siege, they are cannon fodder, protecting others from tower fire.
That's all that's required of them.

It's not advisable to bring Ogres and Orcs along with Monsters in your army. At most, they can be in a second army, but usually, they remain in the city, resting in the barracks, defending the Castle, and only join the troops for a decisive campaign into enemy territory.
Land aus Blut im Aschenregen,
Wüst und leer und ohne Segen.
Hier bin ich durch dich gefangen,
Muss für dich durchs Feuer gehen.
Du siehst mich in Flammen stehen,
Glühend will ich dich empfangen.
