Warhold

Build, age up, fight through the fog. Face the Black King in the campaign, or battle real players and [AI]-labelled bots online. Crowns buy looks only, never power.

Warhold is a medieval real-time strategy game in which you grow a village into a castle, and a castle into an empire.

CAMPAIGN The tutorial, “School of Fire,” and 8 story chapters take you from the Burnt Plains to the Black Forest, the snowy mountains, the swamp, the Black King’s fortress, a desert canyon, bridged islands and a volcano. Hold the roads with towers, walls and gates, scout through the fog, and destroy the enemy keep.

ONLINE LEAGUE From the main menu, open Online and tap Find Opponent. Your rival may be a real player, or an AI that plays like you and is labelled [AI] next to its name. There are no waves here: take the rich mine in the middle, grow your workers and army, and raze your rival’s castle. Lose your own castle and you lose the match. League points move you through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond.

AGES AND ARMY There are three ages: Village, Castle and Empire. Age up and your keep grows, your worker cap rises, and new units and buildings unlock.

• Units: Worker, Infantry, Archer, Horse Archer, Knight, Mage, Musketeer • Siege: Battering Ram, Ballista, Catapult • Buildings: Barracks, Workshop, Archer Tower, Cannon Tower, Wall, Gate

FOG AND MINIMAP A three-state fog of war (unexplored, previously seen, in sight) hides the enemy. A diamond minimap follows the same fog rules.
