Warlords are neutral players, appearing alongside AI and human players, in the upcoming Stronghold Warlords.

Overview

Warlords are independent governors, who have their own fiefs and estates and control their own castles. They are adept at one aspect of leadership and they can be conducted diplomacy with by any player. Warlords can be converted by demanding obedience or killing their Lord, becoming a vassal in the process.

Warlords can support their superiors through their perks and set of commands. In order to enjoy a warlord's benefits, the player needs to spend a set amount of diplomacy points to make them obey, then to give commands, such as sending weapons and reinforcements. Warlords can also be upgraded through 5 levels to unlock new commands.

Warlord perks are permanent bonuses that stay in effect, as long as the warlord remains vassal of the player.
