Stronghold Kingdoms Launches Heretic Expansion

Stronghold Kingdoms - news


Firefly Studios has just released a free expansion for Stronghold Kingdoms — Stronghold Kingdoms: Heretic. Now available as an update for PC and Mac versions, Heretic allows players to build kill streaks by crusading against the forces of evil or ‘go heretic’ and join them! Ally with fellow players and save medieval Europe or swear allegiance to series antagonist The Wolf and watch the world burn.

Available now for PC and Mac, Stronghold Kingdoms: Heretic is a special game mode featuring classic Stronghold characters, new PvE gameplay and mechanics. It expands the traditional castle MMO experience with a fresh content update made available to all players for free.

“MMOs are in our blood, but sometimes you just want a cooperative experience. Traditional Kingdoms gameplay is hardcore PvP, making Heretic a completely different beast to vanilla Stronghold Kingdoms”, said Nick Tannahill, Marketing Manager at Firefly Studios. “We’re in the final stages preparing for the game’s cross-platform release on mobile and currently running a closed Alpha, but Heretic is our way of saying that new content is on its way.”

 


Gameplay Changes

Based on your feedback from Rise of The Wolf we have made a range of gameplay changes and adjustments for Heretic, our second PvE AI world and the first to feature Europe. In addition to a dynamic Faith Point cap that increases with every slayed AI, Heretic introduces a new twist on the PvE gameplay found in Rise of The Wolf by giving players the freedom to choose which side they fight on.

In Heretic players will choose between battling against The Wolf and his men or turning to the dark side, betraying fellow players by joining The Wolf’s faction. Will you fight against The Wolf or turn Heretic and wreak havoc by attacking fellow players? After swearing their allegiance to The Wolf, a heretic player will only be able to attack non-heretic players. Just remember that, while any player Rank 7 (Bondsman) or above can turn, once you go heretic there’s no turning back!

 

Heretic also introduces a new ‘kill streak’ feature, which stacks as you capture or destroy AI villages within a given period. The allocated time until your current streak ends increases with each defeated AI, with the boost varying depending on the type of AI defeated. As your kill streak increases you will be rewarded with an Honour production boost, extension to your Faith Point cap and a higher chance of receiving additional wheel spins for AI kills. In recognition of the most efficient AI slayers a new Kill Streak section will also be added to the in-game leaderboard.
