Stronghold: Warlords

Stronghold Warlords is an RTS game focused on castle management and sieges. Although the game at its core is not much different from its predecessors, it introduced some important gameplay changes that result in a fresh experience that should keep even the most dedicated Stronghold veterans engaged. One of these changes is the possibility to recruit Warlords – AI-controlled allies who will gladly join your cause and give you a helping hand if you can only afford their friendship.

Recruit Warlords

Before you start planning an invasion, be mindful of powerful Warlords inhabiting the lands. Gain their trust and use their help to obliterate your enemies. Don’t underestimate Warlords – they are powerful allies who will allow you to unlock new technologies and perks, which may be the difference between winning and losing the war.

Reception

Stronghold: Warlords received favorable reviews and was generally considered a good addition to the Stronghold franchise.
