Beginner’s guide– Fortress: Warlords
Our fortress: A Beginner’s Guide to Warlords contains everything you need to build a castle and run it efficiently: Warlords.
Always start with rice fields or other food buildings.
Food is necessary for your people, and if you cannot provide food for your people, they will leave you. Rice is the most common and readily available food in the Fortress: Warlords, so make sure you place at least 6 rice paddies at the beginning of the game. This way you will have enough food for your staff in the beginning. You start with a small amount of rice in the granary, and if you don’t have enough structures to produce food, you will quickly run out of food and your people will begin to leave you.
With 6 rice fields you have enough food for a long time, even if you have to raise taxes, you can give your people an increased rice ration to compensate. More information can be found below. In addition to the rice fields, you’ll also have access to other foods depending on your success in the missions. Grow your own vegetables, tea and later your own meat. The variety of food sources will ensure that you always have enough food for your people and keep them happy.
Balance your taxes with food
Taxing your people is always a big deal in any Stronghold title, and you can’t lose it. More taxes means more gold for you, but the wrong people and the wrong people tend to lose your castle. If you have no residents in your castle, you can’t form a new army for your battles or even get people for various resource gathering structures. If you cut taxes too much, your people will be happier, but you will never have enough gold to build structures or raise your armies.
However, you can always offset the tax increase with other measures to satisfy your population. You can increase the rations you give to your people and even offer different types of food to keep people happy. You have several sliders in the bottom right of the screen that allow you to adjust your taxes and the way different foods are distributed among your people. Make sure you always have different types of food on hand, and always hand out extra rations when you raise taxes. This offsets the inconvenience of tax increases.
Build up your army as you expand your castle.
Fortress: Warlords is not just a castle building game, as you will also have to participate in battles, and even if you don’t attack first, your enemies will stop at nothing to lay siege to your castle. Therefore, you should focus on expanding your castle while strengthening your forces. While you build and expand your castle and take care of your villagers, you must also devote resources to building armies and their necessary support structures.
Building armies is not as simple as clicking on their icons in the barracks or other structures. Some of the advanced units require weapons and armor in a warehouse. So place an armory and other facilities that produce weapons and armor for your units. Only then will you be able to repel all attacks on your lock with ease. Your workers working in the weapon and armor factories automatically collect raw materials and manufacture weapons and armor. Once everything is set up, you can easily create more units without having to worry about managing resources in the backend.
Guard your castle with traps, defences and walls.
Your castle or donjon is the most important building in your colony. So make sure. Your master stays in the castle or keeps it, so you have to make sure it’s reinforced on all sides as well. Building a solid and safe castle is an art that can only be learned through practice. Instead of spreading your castle across the map, you should manage all your buildings and structures in one small, organized area, and then fortify it with thick walls and other defenses that will keep your castle safe from enemy attacks.
You have to make sure your castle is right in the middle of your walls and other buildings, because your enemies will throw everything at you, including siege weapons that can break through your walls pretty easily. So make sure you have defenses on your walls that automatically fire at approaching enemies, and some traps can also be set off manually at your enemies. After a small expansion of the castle, you still have to find ways to defend against enemy attacks.
Always focus on the fear factor you want.
The fear factor is another important game mechanism that you can adjust to your advantage to get the results you want. Fear factor your people, you can either make your soldiers more efficient in battle and make your people happy, or make your citizens work harder, which will give you more resources, but your people will be less happy. Both have their pros and cons, and you can adjust the fear factor by adding some buildings to your castle, like B. Zen gardens, torture pits and the like. Make sure you don’t always make negative comments, or your employees might leave your site.
Take control of your warlords to increase control of each map.
Fortress: Warlords introduces an entirely new mechanism where you can conquer and control different warlords on each map. These warlords have their own castles and are scattered throughout the map, which is generally well defended. To get a warlord on your side, you can either attack him or use diplomacy. You need diplomatic points for that. Once a warlord is under your control, you can use them to get various bonuses such as more gold, request resources, and even request armies and force them to attack your enemies with special attacks such as pincer attacks. It is important that you control as many warlords as possible, as this increases your control over the map, but your enemy can also take control of these warlords, so you should always protect the warlords under your control.
