![]() ![]() You’re not really representing any specific Asian culture, though – it’s sort of a mixture of all of them, mostly Chinese, with a couple of Japanese or Korean or Mongolian units included too. The game focuses on East Asia and has campaigns for Vietnam, China, Mongolia and Japan, covering that nebulous “A long, long time ago” period that Kung Fu movies tend to be set in, nominally from about 250BC through to the 16 th or 17 th century. ![]() Space management is an important part of the game, because (as with real castles) there’s only a finite amount of space behind castle walls so working out whether you’re going to put a swordsmith or another rice farm in a space can have some important implications, especially once you start factoring in distances between resources and storage etc. The game, as its title suggests, puts you in charge of building a castle and laying siege to enemies in a matter very similar to the Age of Empires games, right down to the harvesting resources such as timber and iron, and then having craftspeople turn them into weapons and armour. Stronghold: Warlords is now available on Steam with 10 percent discount for one week.Building your own castle and managing the different elements inside it is a key focus of the Stronghold games – including Strongholds: Warlords. Players looking to rain down fire and fury on their opponents can instead opt for a Dragon or Tiger Warlord, able to supply the player with special units and launch attacks in a pincer movement against their enemies! Whether players decide to forge these alliances through diplomatic buildings like the Consulate or simply by marching in an army and forcing warlords to bend the knee, these bonds can make or break their overall strategy. A flagging economy can be saved with an Ox or Pig Warlord, who can boost a players’ industry and food reserves with their unique ‘Edict’ commands and passive perk abilities. With Stronghold: Warlords release we also have the introduction of the titular Warlords system, a new gameplay mechanic allowing players to conquer, upgrade and command AI ‘warlords’ across the battlefield. The game comes complete with everything expected of a mainline entry in the series, in addition to brand new gunpowder fueled units, siege weapons and favorites like Siege Towers and Horse Archers. Warlords has something for all Stronghold fans, whether they enjoy a single player campaign, unlimited castle building freedom in Free Build mode, offline skirmish or online multiplayer with friends and AI. Including a 31 mission campaign with conflicts and sieges ranging from 300 BC China to 16th century Japan, Stronghold: Warlords both covers a wide historical period and (more importantly) introduces gunpowder to the series for the first time! Introducing legendary figures like Genghis Khan and lesser known rulers such as Thuc Phan, Warlords is designed to build on everything players know and love about Stronghold in an all new setting. The developers are now celebrating the launch of Stronghold: Warlords with the final launch trailer. The new RTS game is now available for purchase with 10 percent off on Steam GOG, Humble Bundle, and other platforms. ![]() Firefly Studios has announced the newest entry to their legendary castle sim series and it is called Stronghold: Warlords. ![]()
