About Stronghold Kingdoms
In Stronghold Kingdoms you begin as a feudal lord or lady with a single village and keep. Your first task is to design and defend a castle before expanding across Europe and the world. The game blends castle building, research, and political intrigue in a persistent online realm.
Players join factions and player‑led Houses, cooperate in elections, and wage wars against rivals. With cross‑platform support you can command your kingdom from PC or mobile while interacting with thousands of other Lords in real time.
01 / THE GUIDE
Build Your Stronghold
The core of every kingdom is an impenetrable castle. You construct walls, towers, and defenses to repel invading hordes. Strong fortifications allow you to launch counter‑attacks once enemies are weakened.
A well‑planned keep also supports your village’s growth, providing safety for citizens and a base for further expansion. Balancing defensive strength with resource needs is essential for long‑term success.
- Consider layering walls to create choke points for attackers.
- Place resource‑producing buildings inside the safest zones of your keep.
02 / THE GUIDE
Siege Rival Lords
You can attack sworn enemies without warning, using siege tactics to cripple their economy or force political concessions. Successful sieges reward you with loot and strategic advantage.
Siege battles are a key PvP element, encouraging players to plan both offensive and defensive strategies while managing their resources.
- Scout enemy defenses before committing a full assault.
- Coordinate with allies to time attacks for maximum impact.

Research New Technology
A vast tech tree lets you specialize as a farmer, trader, diplomat, or warlord. Each promotion grants research points that can be spent on upgrades for trade, warfare, farming, or religion.
Choosing a focus shapes how you expand your kingdom, influencing both economic growth and military capability.
- Plan your research path early to align with your preferred playstyle.
- Balance military and economic upgrades to avoid weak points.

Lead Your House
Joining a faction or player‑led House lets you attack its enemies, return triumphant, and eventually rule entire countries with your bannermen. Leadership responsibilities grow as your power increases.
House activities include elections, coordinating attacks, and managing vassals who look to you for direction.
- Participate in faction elections to gain influence early.
- Communicate regularly with vassals to maintain loyalty.
