Tactics for the Stronghold.

Here, so much depends on the template.
In the last game, on speed2 (no tour) with 200% on all-random, I built a town with beasts and orcs in the first castle, and birds with orcs in the second. Because I saw a pretty strong Guardian Order, in the second castle I built ogres with beasts in two castles, and in the third, it all ended (thanks to the goblins, they defended everything perfectly).

So, in the final, both ogres and orcs played their part. Plus, before that, when I took a consulate with a greying stack, losing only 1 goblin.

So, here, a lot depends on the template. And, of course, on the hero.
