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 Firefly Studios' real-time strategy series, Stronghold: Warlords is Firefly's first game to recreate the castle economies of the Far East. In Warlords you take command of Mongol hordes, imperial warriors and samurai clansmen as you lay siege to Japanese castles and fortified Chinese cities. Besiege historical warlords using new gunpowder-fuelled siege weapons, classic units and a completely new way to play Stronghold.

• CONQUER AND COMMAND WARLORDS across the battlefield unlocking more powerful castles, armies and abilities.
• RECRUIT NEW UNITS including imperial fire lancers, disciplined samurai, Mongolian bowmen and auxiliary laddermen.
• RELIVE HISTORICAL CAMPAIGNS from 3rd century BC China through to the rise of the Shogunate and coming of the Mongol Empire.
• RAZE YOUR ENEMIES with the arrival of gunpowder and new siege equipment such as the fire lance, siege tower and flaming ox!
• BECOME THE GREATEST LORD through fear or admiration using a range of medieval entertainment, taxation and torture.

A new Stronghold game? Dang, strategy/civ-building must be coming back in a big way.

Looks astonishingly bad, maybe that's just me though. Looks way too much like a mobile game. Totally lacks the charm of the original.

What fans want : Intricate castle designer with nice economy and nice siege aspect of war.
What developers want : ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is crazy here is that they moved to 3D which should make castle design even more robust and MUCH MUCH easier to make.... instead we go scaled so hard back that first game is much better castle designer game than every other game aside from crusaders.

If they can't make 3D games then maybe they should go back to 2D and continue on that.

They have same exact problem what Anno devs have. They don't have any idea what to do with their games and they look for gimmicks instead of making solid core and build upon that.

The first Stronghold game and expansion were amazing, and I recall the rest being crap. I hope this is good.
