<p>Here are the summaries of the three units:</p>

<strong>Samurai</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">With the ability to charge down enemies foolish enough to stand in their way and eliminate high priority units like Generals with their Precision Strike, Samurai have a unique role to play in the game. True to their historical roots, these disciplined feudal fighters are best used in combat against priority targets or to quickly shut down foes with powerful abilities of their own. With a steady movement speed and weakness to gunpowder, they are however susceptible to swarms of cavalry and gunpowder-fuelled missile fire.</div>

<strong>Imperial Guardsman</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">An expensive but valuable unit, the heavy mace-wielding Imperial Guardsman will make a serious dent in any enemy siege force. Able to build up a Heavy Attack while in combat, the Guardsmen can then deal area damage in a wide arc when triggered. The Guardsmen can quickly tip the scales in your favour mid-siege—use him to clear castle walls, crush unarmoured skirmish troops, or dismantle siege weapons.</div>

<strong>Imperial Warrior</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">While the Imperial Warrior lacks a unique ability like that of the Samurai or Guardsman, he makes up for it with a high armor rating and damage output thanks to his weapons of choice. Resistant to Archer fire, Fire Lancers, and all but the heaviest siege weapons, the Imperial Warrior should form part of the front line in any castle siege or any large scale open field battle.</div>

<p>Stronghold: Warriors is the latest game in Firefly Studios' 'castle-sim' series and it's the first time it explores the history and battle tactics of the East, consisting of Mongol hordes, Chinese imperial warriors, and Japanese samurai.</p> 

<p>With the success of games with similar settings like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/total-war-shogun-2/">Total War: Shogun 2</a> which currently ranks at #9 in the<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/strategy?sort-by=play_score"> list of Top PC Strategies</a>, it's promising to see what kind of success Firefly Studios will find with this latest installment.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stronghold-warlords/">Stronghold: Warriors</a> is set to release on the PC in 2020.</p>
