Broadsword: Warlord Edition

Broadsword: Warlord Edition is a turn-based strategy game set in the Middle Ages. You command one of five armies—the English, French, Spanish, Poles or Hapsburgs—and lead units from mission to mission across five single-player campaigns. You can also create custom single-player matches in Champion Mode or play two-player PvP in hotseat multiplayer.

Lead your army

Command archers, winged hussars, knights, longbowmen, pikemen, catapults and other units, including special units for each nationality. Hero units such as Henry III, Joan of Arc, Wladylaw I of Poland and Peter of Castile have powers that can affect the battlefield. Troops fight in full 3D, and you can use the environment for defensive bonuses and healing from structures.

Plan each battle

Combat is turn-based, giving you time to plan your moves. Maps feature distinct weather conditions, and terrain can provide defensive advantages or impose movement penalties. You can choose your battle matchups, hire mercenaries to strengthen your army, and use the battlefield to your advantage.

Develop your empire

Construct and upgrade buildings—including town centers, mines, mills and farms—to produce resources and raise units. Research technologies such as Forestry, ballistics and husbandry to advance your empire.
