Greetings, Warlord fans!

It’s that time of year again! Annually at ModDB, there is an event where the community speaks out about what games and mods they like best over the past year called the “Mod of the Year” awards — but it’s not just for mods; there are some game categories, too! We at Isotx are proud to announce that this year, Iron Grip: Warlord is up for Indie Game of the Year.

So what does that mean to you? It means we need your votes, of course! If you like Iron Grip: Warlord and want to see it get attention and praise, this is the time to make your opinion known! Voting is extremely simple and you can do it anonymously or tag your name to it. Just visit our ModDB profile and push the “vote” button - it’s that simple, and we’d love your support!

What’s a better way to kick off the New Year than with a contest? A Warlord centric contest?

Submit your fan videos and gameplay guides to us before January 31, 2009 and we’ll enter you in a contest to win FOUR free copies of Warlord to do with what you want. Runners up will receive a free copy of Warlord each, as well as an honorable mention.

A week ago, we released the Winter Offensive, Warlord’s first expansion, to the public, and we’ve gotten a ton of awesome feedback from it from the players. This is our first update, so it’s as much a learning experience as anything else, and it’s really only one of many to come. However, if you haven’t played in the Winter Offensive yet, we’ve still got plenty of reasons why you should — and I’m here to show you one of them today!

Today, I am proud to invite you to explore the Confederate Fanatic’s theme. Click here to download the zip file. Just one listen shows how perfectly it fits them!

Like what you hear? Like what you see? Think something can be improved? Now would be a great time to join the forums and let us know. There’s a lot of discussion threads regarding the Winter Offensive, and we’d really love to have you on board. It’s also a great place to schedule matches or just sit around and shoot the breeze with other Warlord players, and a bunch of people from Isotx post there regularly. Why not stop by?
