Stronghold

The Stronghold is the most important building in Worms Forts: Under Siege. It is the biggest and strongest one, and your base in the fort. Every building the player constructs must be linked to the Stronghold. If any building becomes detached from the Stronghold when an enemy building is destroyed, it will also be destroyed unless the freestanding Forts Wormpot mode is enabled for the match. If the Stronghold is destroyed, all the other buildings are also destroyed and the player instantly loses. You cannot fire any Siege weapons on the Stronghold. The location of the Stronghold is fixed in an ordinary match, always on a Victory Location and next to another Victory Location. The player can choose the Stronghold's location if the right Wormpot mode is enabled.

Just like the other buildings, the Stronghold comes in different varieties, like Greek, Egyptian, Medievel and Oriental.

Trivia

 * Like every other building in the game, the Stronghold's shape and appearance differs in each Theme.
 * The stronghold is not destroyed if all worms on its team are killed, meaning that all the other buildings also continue existing. This leaves an obstacle for the weapons of remaining teams, and prevents expansion of their forts, but does not allow that team to win, and the stronghold's health meter is not displayed during Hotseat Time.
