Wrong. "Compute them using the book" is not the same as "the books do not have them".
Pic related.

>Am I getting this right? In a big enough hex crawl it seems castles/fortresses/strongholds would far outnumber villages, towns, and cities.
When you live in a world where there is a not insignificant percentage chance each month that a wandering band of 30-300 orcs shows up near you, a castle is the only settlement which makes sense, imo.
You want to prospect the Black Hills of the Dakota Centaurs and run&gun in the West Marches, not play house in upstate Greyhawk, don't you?

Don't be a pussy. Run the game for your pals.
If they are long-term campaign material, they will figure out how to play proficiently and effectively in the campaign millieu you create. Make sure to present the options clearly at least once or twice for each.
And if your friends are not ready and willing to do a long-term campaign, why do you play AD&D in the first place?
