The Return of the Jiangshi!

Stronghold: Warlords · published 25 Oct 2022, 17:02 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Compete in the resurrection of our time-limited Halloween survival challenge! Available now as a special mission, players must defend their castle from increasingly difficult waves of mythical AI invasions. This seasonal content will run until November 2nd at 10am GMT, after which time the mission will disappear... Meaning you’ll have to get your Jiangshi and Terracotta Warriors fix in Free Build mode, as selectable AI Invasions!

Inspired by tales from the crypt, Chinese folklore and history, our Warlords Halloween update is now live! Erect your defences and prepare for a supernatural slaughter, as you brave our terrifying special mission against the fearsome Jiangshi and Terracotta Warriors. Customise your castle and ready your army for magic and malice unseen since the days of Stronghold Legends!

The name of the game here is survival, as you're pitted against a relentless onslaught of castle invasions and foes that are almost certainly not of this world... Use Peace Time wisely as you outfit your defences for the days to come, with the knowledge that each foe is an opposite side of the same supernatural coin. A weakness to one could be a strength to the other. So experiment with fire, fury, steel (and diseased animal carcasses) as you pinpoint their vulnerabilities to hold back the hordes of undead!

Whatever you do, never underestimate a single Jiangshi. For although they may be isolated from the pack, they are ever as deadly...

Happy Halloween and Happy Jiangshi Hunting!
