Goblins and Hobgoblins are level 1 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from Goblin Barracks.

"While goblins and hobgoblins are slightly below average among the basic foot soldier units, they are quite numerous. They attack with spiked maces." ^{RoE manual}

They have pretty high attack for a level 1 unit, and are effective attackers when in great numbers. Their speed and growth helps too.
