Sadly, you cannot pet the war dog in Stronghold: Warlords which are apparently wild dogs and not really the cute and cuddly type. Nick Tannahill, Marketing Director at Firefly Studios commented:
After 20 years designing RTS titles, we have a good feel for what players want from Stronghold. That doesn’t mean we can say yes to everything, but as a handful of devs working with our own engine we can at least try to add some of what the community asks for. Whether that’s something small like removing unit caps or a larger ask like adding a new type of campaign, we can adjust during development and really deliver for the fans who have been supporting us over the last two decades!
You can also check out the previously released trailer which showcased Siege Units and gameplay. Stronghold: Warlords is slated for a 2020 release however we are pretty sure that the game will be released somewhere in Summer or early Fall 2020. It will be available exclusively on Steam. You can also join the Stronghold: Warlords Discord server to get in touch with the developers and stay up-to-date on the game development.
