New Skirmish Trail Update

We have just released Stronghold: Warlords version 1.7! Out now on Steam and GOG, our second Skirmish Trail Update introduces 15 additional Skirmish Trail missions, a new unit on the form of the fiery Thunderbomb Thrower, the powerful Wolf Warlord and three multiplayer map remakes inspired by your comments and the original Stronghold: Crusader.

Our second skirmish trail was designed with player feedback in mind. We have increased the challenge and total mission count, while still providing multiple difficulty settings and of course the legendary chicken, which combined should allow all players to see it through. These new Trail missions feature all added Stronghold: Warlords content to date, including 2 new AI opponents, new warlords, units and maps. We hope you enjoy the new trail and let us know what you think, either in the comments below or on Discord, to help inform the design of future skirmish content.

Romans Explained – Episode #2

Build Rome together! A co-op MMORTS from a team of veteran city builder developers, Romans: Age of Caesar is the latest historical strategy game from Stronghold developers Firefly Studios. Today we continue our explainer series with a brief dive into the complex world of Roman’s endgame, The Senate.

Based on the fascinating Ancient political senate system of the Roman Empire and Republic, Romans: Age of Caesar aims to provide players with a virtual backstabbing experience of moving up the political ladder, gaining power and wealth allies and enemies alike will envy.

Combining this with the array of Roman Gods, Romans: Age of Caesar will engage upstarts and established democrats alike with an ever changing playing field of backroom deals, devious plots and of course, a healthy amount of treachery that would make the Ancient playwrights of old blush.
