We're putting the "demo" in "Demolish your enemies in Stronghold: Warlords"

Build a castle, defeat some enemies, and blow up an ox

In case you didn't have the chance to play the latest demo of Stronghold: Warlords at PAX (remember conferences?) we have now made the demo available to all so you can play it from the comfort of your own home. If you'd like to try it out, request a code and see what the game is all about yourself.

Here's what you can expect in the current build:

• Team up with the Dragon and Ox Warlords to succeed, using the new Warlords map to build up their army and launch a pincer attack on Lao Ai

• Either way players must breach Lao's fortress and slay the traitor before the timer runs out (20 minutes)
