Royal food is a resource type in Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends. Royal food comes in five types: meat, vegetables, wine, eel and geese. They can be produced and taken to the Lord's Kitchen or Pantry, which can be used then to increase the honor of the player.
Feasting[]
Stronghold 2 introduced royal food with the honor system. Feasting is the way royal food could be consumed by the lord, the lady and their friends. In order for a feast to commence, a lord's kitchen must be built and fully occupied; a head chef and two assistants for making the food, along with two pages to deliver the food to the keep. The feast lasts for several months and once it concludes, a massive amount of honor is gained. The amount of honor gained is dependent on the amount of guests and royal food. Keep sizes affect the amount of guests that can attend; 3 for wood keeps, 5 for small keeps, 7 for medium and 9 for large.
In Stronghold Legends, feasting is abolished in favour of a smoother gameplay. Royal food is continuously consumed at the pantry. Moreover, Ice and Evil factions have limited access to royal food.
Types of royal food[]
- Meat - Produced by Pig Farms, the reliable royal food.
- Stronghold 3 switched food type of the Pig Farm and the Hunter's Post.
- Vegetables - Produced by Vegetable Gardens, the other reliable royal food.
- Eel and Geese - Produced by Eel Ponds, alternately brought by the fisherman.
- Geese are not available in Stronghold Legends.
- Wine - Produced by Vintner's Workshops that needs to be supplied with grapes from the Vineyards. This "royal food chain" takes a lot of time to start, but is easily the most effective one afterwards.
- Stronghold Legends eliminated the need for the Vintner's Workshop.
