Stronghold: Warlords - the latest installment in Firefly's classic castle-sim series

For strategy fans, autumn 2020 should have been a real highlight, because on September 29th the release of the latest part of the Stronghold series was planned. As is well known, everything turned out differently and, like many other big titles, Stronghold: Warlords could not escape the effects of the coronavirus crisis. Therefore, the RTS title was postponed to the beginning of next year and is now scheduled to be released on January 26, 2021 for PC players, while the developers of FireFly Studios work on the finishing touches in the meantime.

New gameplay elements for varied gameplay

With Stronghold: Warlords, the legendary strategy series is taking new paths. In addition to familiar complex strategy elements, the game introduces another strategic aspect to gameplay with the AI Warlords, which provides additional depth in both the campaign and multiplayer battles. The powerful warlords can be recruited and commanded and hold individual advantages and skills at your disposal. You benefit from this not only in battle, but also in the economic sector.

The Far East awaits you

The story of Stronghold: Warlords takes you into the world of historic Asia. You experience spectacular battles of the past - from the rise of the Qin dynasty to the campaigns of the Mongols. The authentic architecture of medieval Asia provides a suitable historical framework and gives the game a credible atmosphere, both on and off the battlefield. In battle, for example, you rely on a variety of devastating siege weapons to force your enemies to their knees. The selection of foot units is also diverse, so you can command powerful samurai warriors or fighters with fire lances, among others. Away from the fighting, you also have to deal with questions of taxes or the occupation of your citizens as a warlord.
