Strongholds returns in ''Halo Wars 2'' as a gametype, altered to suit the needs of a [[Real-time strategy]] game. In Strongholds, [[UNSC]] and [[Banished]] forces fight to control points on the map. These points appear as minibase construction sites that, when built upon, will construct a UNSC or Banished Stronghold. The [[Firebase#Stronghold|UNSC Stronghold]] comes is a [[Firebase#Minibase|UNSC Minibase]] with a [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]], [[UNSC Garage|Garage]] and [[UNSC Airpad|Airpad]] automatically attached while the [[Banished outpost#Stronghold|Banished Stronghold]] is a [[Banished outpost#Minibase|Banished Minibase]] that comes with a [[Raid Camp]], [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]] and [[Banished Apex|Apex]] attached. This allows the controlling player to quickly begin manufacturing units.
 
At the beginning of the game, all players start with unlimited [[Supplies]] and [[Power]]. The team that controls the most Stronghold structures on the map at the end of the game are the victors.
