The '''Stronghold''' is the largest and most expensive building in ''Dawn of Embers'', and the only one in the '''Unique''' category. It trains the Captain and the Warden and defends itself with arrows.

== Function ==
* '''Trains the Captain and the Warden.''' These are special units with limits:
** The '''Captain''' is limited to '''one alive per player'''. If the Captain falls, it can be trained again only after a revive timer; the training button shows the time left.
** The '''Warden''' also has a per-player limit.
** Trying to train past a limit shows a notice such as ''"You already have the most Captain allowed (1)."''
* '''Keep arrows.''' Like the [[Archers Keep]], a finished Stronghold shoots the nearest enemy unit within 21 m, for 12 damage every 2.2 s. It needs no garrison.

{| class="wikitable"
! Unit !! Food !! Gold !! Stone !! Train time !! Population
|-
| Captain || 150 || 200 || – || 45 s || 1
|-
| Warden || 120 || 150 || 80 || 50 s || 3
|}

== Planned ==
* Garrisoning units inside the Stronghold has been discussed but is '''not in the game'''. No building can be garrisoned at present.

== Notes ==
* Computer opponents do not train the Captain or the Warden.
* The code sets no limit on how many Strongholds a player may build.
