Tactics for the Stronghold.

Development guidelines when playing as Barbarians (Blackpoint once explained this to me): start with a Fortress.
1 - Check how many Wolves you have at the start, both from heroes and from city buildings. If you have more than 20, it makes sense to upgrade Goblins first, so you can later upgrade to Wolves. If you have few Wolves, then focus on building Rukh as quickly as possible.
2 - On day 114-115, assess your financial situation: how much money you have and how much you can reliably earn. If you have enough for Beggars and a Citadel, build them; if not, go for the Rukh option in the Fortress. In any case, Rukh with the ability to buy on day 121 is better than Beggars without the ability to buy.
3 - For Barbarians, air units are more important than ground units; ideally, use an experience-based tactic with mass haste.
Barbarians are weak at holding their ground; their entire playstyle is based on destroying the enemy army as quickly as possible.

P.S. Show us with your fingers where the Fortress has weaknesses, and we'll cut off those fingers right at the... :D
