The Stronghold serves as the Headquarters of the Space Marines in Dawn of War. This Building allows the player to train Servitors and Scout Marines as well as researching technologies that increases the Population Limit. Constructing a Stronghold costs 700 Requisition and 150 Power. However, unlike most buildings, cost scales by 250 more Requisition and 150 Power as more are built after the 2nd one is built. For example, constructing it the 3rd time requires 950 Requisition and 300 Power while constructing it the 4th time requires 1200 Requisition and 450 Power with the 5th and final time costing 1450 Requisition and 600 Power. Even if the original Stronghold is destroyed, the original upgrades still applies to the player. Thus, the player only has to research the subsequent Monastery add-ons only once since researching it for other Strongholds have no effect other than changing its appearance. Although it is the most expensive structure, each Stronghold generates a +20 Requisition rate which never decays over time. The building features 6000 Hit Points and like all artificial constructs, it has no Morale.
