Once again there are a series of gates that you’ll need to navigate to take out the 3 enemies. Your lands are protected by Border Gates so you do have some time to build up an army. The 3 enemies each hold a single Fortress but there are another two neutral Fortresses in the mudlands. Then on the western edge, but further north is a third Stronghold. To the east is another Stronghold that you’ll want to capture quickly. You’ll be facing off agains the 3 Wizard-Kings in the north. You begin near a Stronghold on the southern edge of the map. The War for the Mudlandsįor this map you can choose the Boots of Speed or 15 Orcs as your starting bonus. ![]() Now that you have access through the Purple Border Guard in the northwest, build up and army and take out the enemy. Take another portal to make it back to the Stronghold. Once you’ve visited the tents go east through the portal to find the Purple Keymaster’s Tent. The tents you need to find are Light Blue, to the west, Green, past the border guard, and Red, north of the Stronghold. Even though this is a small map navigating it can be difficult as you’ll need to find a series of Keymaster’s Tents and Portals. You must defeat the enemy to win this scenario. Your starting bonus for this mission is +1 Attack or +1 Defence. Reinforce your army and head throgh the portals to capture the other two Towers.

Tarnum heard about the great king through the last few bards and decides to free the barbarians from the yoke of slavery. The great barbarian King Jarg ruled the lands until the Wizards of Bracaduun enslaved the barbarians. It tells the story of Tarnum before the foundation of the kingdom of Erathia. ![]() The campaigns are more glorified tutorials than an impressive and comprehensive single-player experience, so it seems like setting up elaborate skirmishes is where developer Firefly Studios thought most of the value would be here, too.Warlords of the Wasteland is the first chapter in the Heroes Chronicles series. While there wasn’t a ton of opportunity to get into multiplayer games with this early build, it seems like that’s where most of the action is going to be. This is a game that seems like it will find a niche audience, but it’s doubtful those focused on single-player will get a lot out of it. The siege battles and enclosed settlements add an extra layer of strategy to things, but certain problematic areas keep it from properly utilizing those positives to create something special. Stronghold: Warlords certainly isn’t bad, but there just isn’t a lot that makes it stand out. Warlords don’t really tie into the gameplay well.Variety of viable troops and strategies.Physics and strategy of siege battles is fun. ![]()
