Firefly Studios has announced that its upcoming title Stronghold: Warlords will also come with a Free Build game mode that will allow players to put their stronghold to the test with AI invasions.
The Free Build mode is where you can design a castle using unlimited resources, customize the defenses, and finally launch wave after wave of invasions to test out the castle’s capability.
A trailer was also released which gave us a brief look into the free build mode. Check it out below:
Free Build is designed to be played in many different ways. A selection of large open maps with picturesque scenery and monuments will allow players to build to their heart’s content. As in the main campaign, skirmish mode and multiplayer the titular Warlords mechanic can also be used to help build a dream citadel, sending key resources and providing buffs to their castle economy.
To test out your castle, you can have different types of invasions including a selection of unique siege armies to throw at your castle walls. Test your mettle against everything from squads of tribesmen and stealthy ninja to battalions of cavalry and armored legions with powerful siege weapons. The challenge can be further increased with invasion difficulty settings and the ability to add random events such as peasant revolts, moth infestations and deadly roaming tigers.
Earlier this month, Firefly Studios revealed the PvP features of the game with a trailer. Stronghold: Warlords will include full multiplayer functionality right at launch along with support for AI opponents and a unique co-op mode which will allow players to work together building, defending, and besieging the same enemy castle.
You can access Stronghold: Warlords and its Free Build mode when it launches on September 29 on Steam. Post your comments below.
