## About This Content
Taking players from the Siege of Wuhan through tales of civil war, skirmishes
against the Song Dynasty and more, The Mongol Empire Campaign provides
players with six new historical missions. Chronicling Kublai Khan ‘s infamous
exploits in mainland China, from the Siege of Dali in 1253 to the
establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, The Mongol Empire brings an exciting
chapter of Mongolian military history to life, while also testing the mettle
of Stronghold veterans!
Expanding the single player campaign available in the Stronghold: Warlords
base game, this new campaign DLC depicts over a decade of military conflict
across six new missions. As Kublai Khan’s story progresses players can expect
a unique set of maps with fresh tactical scenarios and objectives to overcome,
truly earning the title of Khagan. As part of this new campaign, The Mongol
Empire DLC also introduces two completely new controllable AI warlords,
playable in skirmish mode and online multiplayer.
## Monkey Warlord
The Monkey Warlord is all about surprising his enemies with unpredictable
tactics and sudden castle breaches. Able to mimic other warlord abilities upon
capture, the simian strategist chooses his unique perk at random from other
warlords on the map. This resets each time a Monkey is captured and is further
randomised if only other Monkey Warlords are present. Recapture to reroll an
ideal perk for the situation and your enemies will be gibbon no quarter!
When it comes to his Edict commands, the Monkey Warlord can provide wood
shipments to boost your economy, but also send out Auxiliary unit attacks to
harass the enemy. Perhaps his most useful Edict however comes in the form of
the Laddermen relief force, allowing you to deploy a squad of units near enemy
castles and quickly clamber up onto their ramparts.
## Peacock Warlord
The Peacock Warlord knows the importance of keeping up appearances, boosting
your economy and popularity. He accomplishes this with a perk that not only
increases popularity from clothing, but also gives your villagers some of the
finest attire in the land.
The Peacock Warlord can donate precious Silks to support your production of
fine clothing, further boosting popularity and allowing for lucrative high
taxes! Gold shipments are also an option, in case you find yourself in need of
particularly expensive castle defences or Military Academy units. Finally the
Peacock can in a pinch offer a relief force of Imperial Bannermen, capable of
increasing the survivability of your existing army by boosting morale.
