Stronghold Cheats and Cheat Codes for PC

Destroying the Enemy Quickly
In order to destroy your enemy, place as many Archers as you can on the wall facing the sign post. A small number of Archers can take out a reasonable size army.

Stopping Bear Attacks
When you see a bear appear or hear of one attacking, just build a wooden wall around it and soon it will die. Or you can send your Archers to kill it, which is a quick way of stopping bears and gaining popularity.

Endless Stones/Cows for Siege Equipment
Highlight the now empty equipment. You'll see 3 green arrows fanning outwards, indicating you want your engineers to leave it. Click on it to do so, and they'll now be free for other tasks. You can let the equipment stay to draw any fire off your troops, or decommission it to clear the way. Just make sure you command your engineers to leave it first, or else you'll lose them! The engineers are key, so be sure to move them to a safe location. **NOTE** -- You can also use this option for mobile shields, battering rams, or any other equipment you don't think you'll be using to free up additional engineers.

Select a "cannon fodder" troop, such as a spearman. Creep him towards the opposing castle's walls to check the range of any defending weapons. Once this range is found, post one of these troops there as a "marker" for the next step.

Have only one engineer begin building a trebuchet or catapult *just behind* the marker troop. You want only one in case the larger object (the equipment) triggers a volley of enemy fire -- that way you'd lose only one.

Once completed, let loose! You'll notice you now have 20 stone and at least 2 cows for the new equipment. When it's "gone dry", reassign those engineers to build a new piece, and you'll again have 20 stone and 2 cows.

Repeat as necessary, from all possible angles. Using this technique, it's possible to destroy a castle from right around an enemy, and a good many of the bad guys as well. Then you only need to send in your remaining troops to "mop up".
