WHAT IS THIS SITE?
This site is attached to my neocities webpage as both a fanpage and memorial for what was ISOTX. I had multiple ideas of recreating the webpages, especially the ones that had lore for the universe, and whether to modify them or not. I decided to just make it on neocities, if atleast for now with modifications.
Probably better to centralize the pages and info, but it was not too bad of an idea to split the modified warlord page and to keep the Firefight mod pages separate.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE GAMEPLAY FURTHER?
Iron Grip: Warlord combines real-time strategy and first-person shooter elements to add a new twist to playing war. It puts the player(s) in the heat of a battle, fighting off hordes of AI-controlled invaders. It can be a single-player skirmish or a multiplayer massacre.
Players start by with a few weapons and are instantly required to hold off waves of enemy infantry, tanks, and other powerful creations to protect their stronghold. Strongholds are the heart of the resistance and must be held at all costs, or else the player loses the round.
IS IRON GRIP: WARLORD A STAND ALONE GAME?
Iron Grip: Warlord is most certainly a stand alone game. It is built off a modified version of the Quake III engine. It
does not require any other game or program for installation, although it is recommended you consider checking out Radmin or another program for LAN multiplayer.
WAIT, ISN’T IRON GRIP A HALF-LIFE 2 MOD? I THINK I’VE PLAYED IT…
You’re probably thinking of Iron Grip: The Oppression, a popular Half-life 2 mod Isotx released years ago. This game is the next continuation of the Iron Grip universe - instead of creating another mod, the development team decided to make it a standalone game.
HOW MUCH DID WARLORD COST? WHAT WERE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?
Warlord was sold through Isotx’s store at the introductory price of $24.95 USD. By the time I purchased it on Steam during 2013, it went on sale for $5.39 ($8.99 60% off). As for the system requirements, they were low for the time and were made for a wide-range of computers:
Computer: Athlon XP 2000+, Pentium 4 2.0 GHz
Operating Systems: Windows 2000/XP/Vista
RAM: 512 MB RAM (1024 MB RAM Recommended)
Free Space: 450 MB hard disk space
Graphics: OpenGL compatible 128 MB video card (FX 5200 or Radeon 8500 or better)
Internet Connection: Internet Connection for registration and online play
WHERE CAN I GET THE DEMO?
Apparently that amazonaws link still works for the demo installer exe.
ATELIANS? CONFEDERATES? EXPLAIN?
The Atelians are a culture that’s being invaded by the Confederation. Atelia is a nomadic society with a few estranged city-states that the Confederates seek to control and abuse. As an Atelian warrior, the player fights against the Confederation with every last ounce of effort in hopes to retain independence from the oppression.
WHAT IS THE IRON GRIP UNIVERSE BASED OFF OF?
There are many sources of inspiration for the Iron Grip world. At the very heart of it, Iron Grip is a Steampunk universe. This means it is rich with both modern and ancient ways - complex religions, tormented leaders, and vast depth coupled with powerful machinery, airships, and large cities.
