Wargaming has released a new gameplay mode for World of Tanks today in North America as part of patch 9.2. Europe and Asia can get in on the action tomorrow, July 31.

The mode, titled 'Stronghold' "is an all new game mode designed specifically for members of Clan Wars. Clan Commanders are now able to create virtual bases for their clans, participate in Skirmishes alongside their fellow players, earn Industrial Resources, develop their Stronghold up to Level 4 and be awarded with special bonuses called Orders. Tankers can use Orders to activate a variety of temporary in-game bonuses for all clan members in all combat modes. As the level of the Stronghold increases, so does the frequency and quality of bonuses received."
"We are very excited to introduce the first iteration of Strongholds to World of Tanks," said Anton Pankov, Executive Publishing Producer at Wargaming. "It is an extremely engaging game mode that combines tactics, strategy and action elements, bringing more depth to the World of Tanks metagame. Strongholds will evolve over time based on feedback from the World of Tanks community."

Creating a more social community has rarely done mobile games wrong. Clash of Clans is built upon a stronghold-esque villages and clan gathering spots. It is simply a great addition to an already robust and fabulous game. I do hope it comes to Blitz at some point in the future.
The 9.2 update also includes an updated version of the Prokhorovka battle arena named 'Fire Arc'. Players will also have access to "four new HD models including the Soviet IS and SU-100, the German StuG III and the British Churchill I."
You can start playing World of Tanks right now, for free, here. Check out 9.2 and get yourself a clan. It's a warzone out there.
