See our E3 2019 tag for more news, previews, opinions, and increasingly surreal liveblogs. Stronghold: Warlords is due out sometime next year, and you can see a few more screenshots on its Steam store page or official site here. It's a bold comeback for the series, and possibly a risky one. I'm curious to see how all these takes on warfare will mesh under a single, unified control system. The cultures all have distinct looks already, with China getting its iconic high-walled cities, while Japan has a snazzy line in ornate, towering castles.
One will tackle the rise of the Japanese Shogunate, another, war in 3rd century BC China and a third will chart the advance of the Mongol Empire. It sounds like FireFly are fully committed to the eastern setting in their single player modes, with multiple campaigns with interestingly varied themes. Other studios have tried to blend traditional RTS and grand strategy motifs, but few have pulled it off, with Ironclad's (still very actively modded) Sins Of A Solar Empire being the most notable. The move to larger maps with AI factions is breaking new ground for the series, and a challenge that I hope FireFly can rise to. Building huge castles with traps and defences, and then fending off huge waves of attackers is always compelling stuff. The Stronghold series has had some ups and downs (the less said about Stronghold 3, the better), but started out on a very strong, compelling foundation. See how the warlords work in the trailer below.
While not quite as sprawling as a Total War game or Sins Of A Solar Empire, it's an interesting way to expand the design.
#Stronghold warlords mods mod
There is a mod out there, which lets you zoom out more. Anyway ive not found one that works for this issue. Warlords is also expanding the game outwards, and adding a 'light' grand strategy layer, letting players boss around the titular warlords AI controlled minor factions that can work for or against you. in stronghold crusader 2 you could disable something in video and it allowed u to zoom out much further, cant remember what it was but theres very few options in this warlords to fiddle with. Stronghold: Warlords transplants the RTS game of European (and Arabic) castle building and siege-ing to the east, with Japan, Korea, China and other nations represented. Yet another series announced to be returning at E3 is Firefly's Stronghold series.
