Without the resources to create much new artwork, the Stronghold creators looked to their past and leveraged beloved art and characters from their back catalogue, creating a new kind of MMO with a handful of developers. Prototyped at a time when the developer had scaled down to around 20% of its former staff, due in part to the 2008 recession and its knock-on effect for industry investors, Stronghold Kingdoms was a hail mary shot. Growing from a small prototype inspired by the earliest free to play titles to their most successful game ever, Stronghold Kingdoms saved Firefly from collapse when it first launched in 2010. Based on a map of splintered nations and city states, hundreds of players assuming the roles of kings and other leaders will vie for power in this new game world. With new country borders, accurate to the medieval kingdoms of Europe circa 1300 AD, Kingmaker will provide a different political structure to the main game. Stronghold Kingdoms’ new ‘Kingmaker’ map is being released at 3pm GMT on November 4th to celebrate a milestone 10 years of online castle building, political intrigue and siege warfare. The new ‘Kingmaker’ world map introduces a new type of historical game world for Firefly’s ‘Castle MMO’, based on the splintered nations and city states of Europe in 1300 AD.
