Greetings all,
I have a couple of people in my play group that are looking for clarification on the trait for this Stronghold.
"After another player's Dynasty Phase begins, if he controls any Personalities and he assigned none of them to an attacking army this turn: Gain 2 Honor."
From the way I am reading this, I believe the following but one or two others in the group are not completely sure. 1. My opponent controls 3 Personalities, and only assigned 2 of the for an attack. 2. During battle, I kill both of the attacking Personalities.
My question is, and the clarification, does this mean I gain 2 honor still since he controls a Personality still but did not assign him to an attacking army, or do I not gain it since he assigned an attacking army?

Yes, the trait will trigger in this case as it meets both conditions: 1. When the Dynasty Phase begins, the player controls any Personalities. 2. He assigned none of them (the Personalities he controls at the beginning of the Dynasty Phase) to an attacking army this turn.
