Oh man. Has anyone else played this game? It's a truly awesome 4X/TBS/RPG from 1995.
I've been playing it for a while now, and it's really fun. If Elemental turns out to be a more advanced version of this game with better graphics, then it'll be the best game ever. Because, you see, the graphics aren't that great.
The non-deluxe version can be downloaded for free here (legal), but if you an manage to get hold of the deluxe version, then get that one instead. It's a lot better.
This game basically works like this (pretty standard for this genre, but it's so well-made):
You decide what kind of map you want; a randomly generated one, or a pre-made campaign. In the deluxe version, you can choose different "tilesets" and change the look of units, which makes each round a bit more varied. You start with one city, and then you conquer neutral cities and forts scattered around the map. The enemy AI does the same. You also have a hero that can explore ruins and dungeons, gaining levels and finding phat lewt. Then you kill your enemies or win through diplomacy. It's like advanced chess.
Sounds like I'm advertising here, but seriously, if you like these kinds of games, then check it out. It's awesome.
Because it's so old, you might have to run it through DOSBox.
Yeah, I played that way back, though the memory is dim. I also played Warlords IV Heroes of Etheria a very lot for some unknown reason. Heroes was deficient in too many ways to list here, but there was something about it that really fascinaed me. Hope they make it out with another successor to the series.
Maybe you will like this one, as it is not browser-like, but rather imitates the old warlords2 feeling.
We have now opened up for some beta-testing games, so if you feel like it please head over to www.warlordsplayonline.com and join the fun
I saved a bookmark and will check it out in a few months. I have played the Warlords games for hundreds of hours.
Love this game.
Warlords: Battlecry III (it's on impulse somewhere) is the RTS continuation of the series. I played it a LOT back in the days(as well as the original warlords series).
