I am unsure if this will be an GIGNATIC bump, and if it is, im sorry.
One of theese, like the abandon mineshaftes, are being made WHILE you are going in them. That means, if you stick to some few chunks, and dig in theese ALOT, you will MOST likely find a stronghold quite fast, as if you dont have a large world, the places it can be made will be smaller.

Make sure you include the "-" in the seed. Also, make sure you are at the correct x/z coordinates and then actually dive into the lake, and then find the big hold in the bottom of the lake.
I've found strongholds on every map. I made a few creative maps and I just dig d own in to the ground the strongholds are so huge its easy to hit them underground, just go around the area locally where you spawned. =3
You call it strongholds and I call it abandoned mineshafts which are very common ...
<.< a stronghold looks nothing like an abandoned mineshaft. Strongholds are made of stone, stone brick, and mossy brick. They also contain libraries made of bookshelves and dungeon cells with iron bars and doors, and there's also fountains and spiral staircases.
My thoughts exactly...
+1 to that, I get that they should be rarer than villages and dungeons but come on now, one a world is ridiculous especially for an SMP server
Blah.
Also, I think they might be related to "winning" in a Minecraft world.
