Tactics for the Stronghold.

I think the Stronghold has such poor statistics because it's rarely chosen by experienced players – not so much because it's weak, but because it's much more convenient and easier to play as a Castle or Rampart. Their building and combat tactics are stereotypical – they surround their archers with protection and shoot down approaching enemies, or they advance with a solid wall of troops if the opponent's army is clearly weaker. The Stronghold can't afford to make mistakes, otherwise it will be like a sapper's mistake – an imprudent maneuver during a battle will result in huge losses in manpower. Therefore, I think that the Stronghold still has a chance of winning; it all depends on the map conditions, the player's skill, and, of course, luck.
