SETTING

Iron Grip: Warlord takes place in the fictional country of Atelia, which was recently invaded by the Confederation. It is a nation rift with apathy, consisting of city-states and nomad tribes with tense allegiances.

As the player, you are one of the many Atelian warriors of Warlord Sahrab’s Army. You are charged with the defense of the city-states in a last ditch effort to overcome the invaders. Along with your comrades, either controlled by friends in multiplayer or the computer in single player, you must defend and make a final stand to fight for Atelian independence.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay revolves around fighting of large invading armies with a small elite group in an urban setting. Players must deploy defenses and ensure their stronghold survives wave after wave of Confederation warriors without being overwhelmed. This scale of battle is achieved by combining real-time strategy construction with first-person combat to create the ultimate defense game.

FACTIONS

The warring factions are the Atelia Militia against the Confederation of Nallum. The Atelians are making their last stand in the city-states which the Confederates strive to take control at any cost.

The Atelia Militia is a mixture of armed citizens, organized resistance and allied nomadic warriors. Their primary objective is to slow the march of the Confederate armies by any means possible while reducing their public and encouraging Atelian civilian resistance.

The Confederation consists of modern armies with millions of troops and nearly unlimited resources. However, there is something to say for quality over quantity; individually, the soldiers are poorly trained and minimally equipped. Their strength is in shear numbers and the fear that Atelians harbor.
