Differences between military unit stances

I played this years ago on release, the nostalgia is amazing I played this for hours.

Anyway I forgot what the different stances actually are for.

Defensive/attacking and so on.

From the Stronghold manual:

7.3 Unit Stances.

The top three buttons in the command box change the way your units
behave in combat.

Stand Ground - Units set to stand ground will not move from their posts unless
ordered to do otherwise. They will defend themselves when attacked and if they are a
missile unit,

Defensive Stance - Units set to a defensive stance will move a short distance from
their post to engage any enemy units that come close to their position. Once there
are no more enemy units to engage, they will return to their original position.

Aggressive Stance - Units set to an aggressive stance will look a long way to engage
or chase down enemy units. When the enemy is defeated your units will look for
another potential target before returning to their original position. Units in an
aggressive stance will also respond actively to missile attacks.

Thanks.

I remember now that I still have the game on disc and with the case and manual from years ago.

So do I. It was my very first PC game. The game manual is here on Steam too though. Just right click on the game icon in your library and scroll down to view player manual.

There are some hidden golden easter eggs in the stances for certain units. For example spearmen on agressive stance get a very good charge abylity which makes them decent unit at times! Sad that people unaware of that consider them the worst unit available. :/
