Conan Exiles Enhanced [On Steam]

Did you know? Marvel Comics used to publish a Conan the Barbarian comic series? [On Wikipedia]

In the featured screenshot, there’s a Japanese Fortress behind my character Aikiko Tanaka (which she built with the help of her staff). In Conan Exiles Enhanced, you can build bases inspired by a wide variety of real world architectural styles. In essence, your play style can either focus on honing your skills as a warrior, or building architectural masterpieces or both.

If on the other hand, you’d rather focus on defending your own fortress, or storming someone else’s and leave the base building to the developers, then check out UbiSoft’s For Honor, which allows players to join one of a variety of real world inspired factions known for their prowess as the warriors of history, and fight it out in team battles where you’re fighting to gain ground on large territory maps.

Japanese Castles [On Wikipedia]

In North America during the Seven Years War, several fortresses on Canadian and American soil were put to the test in real conflicts of the time. Today, some of these fortresses and their sub-structures stand to this day as works of art and reminders of our history and the sacrifices those people made that led to the countries we now inhabit, and our ties to our early origins.

After perusing all of these awesome fortresses, it kind of makes me wonder what we can expect from Doctor Doom’s Castle in Latveria in the MCU’s upcoming film: Avengers: Doomsday.
