The Gong Pit is used to dispose of gong to protect peasantry from disease in Stronghold 2.
Usage[]
In Kingmaker games and certain story-line missions, gong piles appear around the castle. These piles can be removed by placing buildings over them, but they may appear in places where it is impossible to do so. Gong Pits are maintained by Gong Farmers, who are immune to disease and will clear up any nearby gong piles around them.
Gong Pits are very important to maintaining a sterile castle as failure to do so can result in gong periodically spreading clouds of disease around them, which can disorient and even kill most peasants walking past it. Military units will slowly lose health if they stand on these clouds. Rats can also spread the disease further from its source if they go past one. The disease cloud is more of a hinderance than an actual threat, since it does not last long and the apothecary can remove any he finds.
Eventually, the gong pit will be filled and will stop the farmer's work, so remove it immediately once it is filled. Gong Farmers may also turn to crime, so multiple gong pits are helpful in case this happens.
