About Stronghold: Warlords

Stronghold: Warlords introduces a fresh twist to the series by letting you recruit, upgrade and command AI lords across the battlefield in the form of in-game Warlords. Each one under your control boosts your strategic reach with unique perks, characteristics and upgradeable abilities, and you can put them to work fueling your industry, fortifying borders, forging weapons or joining a coordinated pincer attack. Every campaign mission, skirmish and multiplayer battle serves up a new set of warlords, offering an entirely new way to play Stronghold.

As the next chapter in Firefly Studios' real-time strategy series, Warlords is the first entry to recreate the castle economies of East Asia. You take command of Mongol hordes, imperial warriors and samurai clansmen as they lay siege to Japanese castles and fortified Chinese cities, bringing a fresh historical setting to the familiar castle-building foundation.

The game equips you with new gunpowder-fueled siege weapons alongside classic units to besiege historical warlords, and its content spans 31 campaign missions plus multiplayer, skirmish and free-build modes. Blending indie sensibilities with simulation and strategy, Stronghold: Warlords delivers a distinctive East Asian take on the series' castle warfare for PC players.
