Developer Firefly Studios

Stronghold: Warlords is a 2021 real-time strategy video game developed and published by Firefly Studios for Windows. Unlike the previous entries of the Stronghold series, which were focused on Europe during the Middle Ages, Stronghold: Warlords is set in East Asia, with campaigns based on historical events of China, Vietnam, and Japan. It was the last game Firefly Studios released as an independent entity before… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    Many people argue whether Heat or Flame Rouge is the superior design. I frankly don't understand why it matters. Clearly you get the game not published by Stronghold.

    Wario Land 1 is the best Wario Land better than 3 and 4. Stronghold better than Age just because I use it as a City builder instead of strategy game. Deedlit in wonder Labyrinth straight up Team Ladybugs best game. As Dusk Falls aka what if Quantic Dream would make a good game (without Cage).

    Hopefully the twin thrusts of the video game industry and the RPG industry coming down hard on AI-supported theft will make the board game industry think more about it. Stronghold Games is unfortunately the one normalizing it there: they think they're too big to fail or something.

    This is also why I have so much passion and respect for the game modes that dare to make use of a wider roster up and down the rarity spectrum. RA is the obvious one, but I've also liked Stronghold and IS for the same reason sometimes. The game is just built well enough to make it happen like that.

    Stronghold Protocol is a very volatile game mode and while we do have more levers to control the chaos than we think, things can always go very wrong very quickly - risk mitigation can be very hard to perceive and I think that's what I'll lead with for this season of guides in a 'general' guide 1st.

    Stronghold Protocol has at least one absolutely atrocious feature from a game design perspective: it's a co-op game mode where you can do so badly that it's better for your team if you drop out except the final battle doesn't recalibrate for leaving. You feel bad for dragging the team either way.
