Military Units, Part 3
Military units in Stronghold come from several places. Some of these can be built others will produce units that can build (and man) other units for you. Most will need resources like arms, armour and gold.
From the Engineer's Guild
The Engineer's guild is a separate building which allows you to recruit two types of specialised units.
Engineers
These guys must be some of the most useful chaps to have around. You can set them to demolish walls or dig moats, but most importantly they can man the siege equipment.
Cost: 30 gold
Laddermen
Weak and vulnerable, these poor guys carry the long siege ladders that will allow your spearmen to swarm the enemy's battlements.
Cost: 4 gold
From the Tunneler's Guild
The Tunneler's Guild is a separate building which allows you to recruit the important tunnelers.
Tunnelers
Carrying a pickaxe and wearing not much more than blue denim, these Welsh blokes will dig for victory. A few of them can easily bring down the thickest walls.
Cost: 30 gold
