I can't find a clear answer reading other posts/links so I want to ask.

Concerning the building of the stronghold, resources:

1) Does the stronghold resource pool automatically increase or do they have to be explicitly sent by members and the clan leader? It looks like the numbers in the pool go up by themselves...

2) Are the resources in the stronghold resource pool separate from the leader's resources? (basically if the leader is raided the stronghold resource pool is depleted too?).

Thanks

Nevermind - I think I figured it all out. It's some of the wording that was confusing me. Therefore I don't need an answer to this but any insights about building the stronghold are appreciated. Happy gaming.
