We've announced a brand new Stronghold game! Besiege Great Khans, Imperial warlords and Shōgun commanders in Stronghold: Warlords, the latest in our 'castle sim' series. Command AI warlords across the battlefield as you build a castle economy and new gunpowder-fuelled siege weapons.



For the first time ever Stronghold: Warlords allows you to recruit, upgrade and command AI lords across the battlefield in the form of in-game ‘Warlords’. Each warlord under your command boosts your strategic prowess with unique perks, characteristics and upgradeable abilities. Put them to work for your industry, fortifying borders, forging weapons or team up for a pincer attack! Each campaign mission, skirmish game and multiplayer battle means a fresh set of warlords to command and new strategic depth to discover.



The next chapter in our real-time strategy series, Stronghold: Warlords is Firefly's first game to recreate the castle economies of the Far East. From 3rd century BC China through to the coming of the Mongol Empire in 1200 AD, Stronghold: Warlords allows players to relive famous historical battles and sieges from across the Asian continent. Recruit warlords to your cause and conquer each new kingdom using Mongolian bowmen, imperial fire lancers, disciplined samurai and classic laddermen.
