*Stronghold: Warlords* boasts a vast campaign spanning centuries, from ancient China to the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate. 45 unique skirmish trails put your castle-building skills to the ultimate test, while 28 multiplayer maps provide endless replayability. The addition of gunpowder weaponry, like the devastating hwacha arrow launcher, adds a thrilling new dimension to sieges.

Beyond the strategic depth, the game offers a rich tapestry of units, from disciplined samurai to deadly ninja and powerful fire lancers. You’ll even manage your populace with medieval entertainment, taxation, and, yes, even torture – all in the name of securing your reign. Whether you prefer a brutal conquest or a shrewd economic victory, *Stronghold: Warlords* offers a compelling and historically-inspired experience unlike any other in the series.
