Tank Commanders!

Update 9.3 welcomes more tanks into the game's expanding collection of classic war pieces.

Strongholds: War Department and Legionaries

Two new features have been added to Strongholds in 9.3 - the War Department and Legionaries. With the introduction of the War Department building, players can now take on quests and receive special rewards when they are completed. Legionaries are for players who are interested to join skirmishes but are not in a clan. Becoming a legionary allows a player to join an existing clan to battle in Skirmishes.

NEW! High-tier Light Tanks

There is now more variety in high-tier Light Tanks to choose from. Players can now research a total of 6 new Light Tanks from the USA, USSR, and German tech tree:

• U.S.A.: T37 (Tier VI), M41 Walker Bulldog (Tier VII), T49 (Tier VIII).
• U.S.S.R.: LTTB (Tier VII), Т-54 ltwt. (Tier VIII).
• Germany: Spähpanzer Ru 251 (Tier VIII).
