 [[Enemies]] in [[Strongholds]] are more difficult to [[Overcome]], while defending against them in [[Strongholds]] are much easier. In both cases this may lead to [[Repeated Domination]] and because of this make attackers adopt [[Stealth]] goals rather than try head-on attacks. As soon as [[Strongholds]] are occupied, they are [[Inaccessible Areas]] to opponents of the those present in them.

 == Using the pattern ==
 [[Strongholds]] primarily need to be easy to defend. This requires that accesses routes to them are [[Choke Points]] where relatively few defenders can hold of enemies with potential numeric superiority, having good [[Line of Sight]] of these routes help. [[Strongholds]] are more useful when they in addition have [[Line of Sight]] over nearby [[Arenas]], possibly through having [[Sniper Locations]].
