The game also contains support troops such as engineers, who provide additional combat options such as constructing siege engines. Even though the expensive units are stronger in combat, all units have abilities that are necessary to defend the castle, both melee units (such as the basic spearman and the stronger swordsman), and ranged units (such as archers). There are a variety of unit types in the game, with each successive unit being stronger, and hence more expensive, than the preceding unit, in general.

Free build mode is another game mode here the player has the option of building a castle without any objectives. A siege mode is also included in the game, where the player may attack or defend several historical castles.

Other game modes are single-mission combat and economic scenarios, where the player has to complete either military or economic goals. The player is given goals to complete against a variety of obstacles, such as bandits and fire.

An economic campaign is set after the main campaign in which the player reconstructs parts of the kingdom. The player has to defeat each of the four lords in the campaign, receiving help from the king once he has been successfully ransomed mid-game. The player must regain control of the kingdom by reconquering counties from rival lords one by one. He is helped by two lords who remain loyal to the king. The player is represented by a young, inexperienced commander whose father is killed in an ambush by one of the villains. Four lords take control of the kingdom, dividing it into their personal territories. The backstory to the campaign explains that the king was captured and held for ransom while invading a neighboring barbarian kingdom. The main game mode is the military campaign, which is based upon a map of England and Wales. Stronghold contains several modes of gameplay, with both combat and economic missions.

The goal is to create a stable economy and a strong military to defend against invaders, destroy enemy castles, and accomplish various mission objectives.
