In earlier years, Stronghold 176's reputation was on par with Fortress 178. But over the years, everyone started to only mention Fortress 178 and not Stronghold 176.
There were many reasons for this. On one hand, Stronghold 176's terrain was not as harsh as Fortress 178's, and the enemies from the grasslands were not as ferocious either. Therefore, from a "sacrificial" point of view, Stronghold 176 did not really contribute much to the Alliance of Strongholds.
After all, there were only so many nomads around, and they were not even armed with firearms and explosives. It would really be difficult for them to become a major threat to the Central Plains, and neither had any particularly bloody clashes taken place between the two sides.
