This game i great if you find yourself stuck in some place that you don't want to be at and have a laptop that isn't very high end spec to play games. First of all you can have a hero that you play through skirmish battles and campaign that grow with each battle. Next is all the different races there are. Mix with quests and other abilities you can choose a few pretty cool ways to play: make your hero a one man army, a powerful magic user, a charismatic commander, a crafty merchant, etc...

Okay heres the bad part. Graphics aren't very top notch at all. Game play might get a little boring, but of course this game is only for those temporary occasions.

All in all, its a game that will run on a lot of systems, easy on the wallet, and fairly enjoyable.

best game

This game is really cool it has great graphics and oh course theres the variety of the races. With realtime gameplay and the titans playing mode (each race has its own titan that rocks) It has definetly earned its place in the "hall of games" and the sequel is a definet sho-in for "best sequel ever"

The best game!

I think this is the best game ever. As soon as you start you feel as if your in it. Much better than warcraft 3.

Not as Great as I Thought.

When I first played the game, I thought it was great fun; I was utterly amazed at the AI because the computer could beat me so badly every single time!! The game's a fast paced, real-time strategy game (For those who don't know: real-time strategy games are like: Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, War Craft, Civilization, Pharaoh...I hop I don't have to go on.) Anyway, the game is extremely original with it's use of heroes and guys. So that each unit has it's own identify and name! And not only can you train your hero and use him in battles to come; but you can train up even the units you produce and use them in other battles. Really cool. Besides that the resources here work quite differently; and I thought it was great; so even though I kept fighting until I won. After that I decided I would switch civilizations with the computer. I had been the Barbarians; but I decided to be the Deamons. Then I realized why the computer was beating me so badly. The Deamons are so, so much more powerful. Often one blow from a Deamon will kill a Barbarian where about twenty blow from a Barbarian would only wound a Deamon. The Barbarians have no counters for the Deamons; and most of their units are just plain in capable of even fighting back. (The Deamons are air born and throwing fireballs while the Barbarian knights just stand there and get killed without being able to reach the Deamon.) Even the ones that can counter attack are much weaker. That said: the game is unbalanced; but it is still fun. You can make the decision on buying.

a very good game

An absolutely perfect two-dimensional real-time strategy game in the fantasy genre, but for one little thing: it crashes to the desktop about every five minutes, regardless of your system. And they can't seem to find a patch for it.

No storyline

I just picked up this game, got it with Warlords 4 for free. After installing it, I realized why it came free - the game sucks! It seems to be an improved version of WBC1, but they left one thing out - a story. In WBC2, The goal of the game is to take over the world. That's it. You're shown a map, and asked which territory you want to take over. No real purpose to it, except mindless slaughter. I'm sure glad I didn't waste 40 bucks on money on this game. If you live for multiplayer, this might be a good choice, but for those of us that would rather play a single player game, don't waste your money.

Gaming bliss

The Warlords Battlecry series is a great batch of RTS games that constantly get overlooked by gamers who take the more commercial successes like Warcraft. Their limited commercial success is unfortunate considering the high quality of the games.

The Warlords biggest success is in its incredible variety of options. There are tons of hero classes and plenty of offerings for your race. These options allow for tons of replayability and all of the various combinations are fun to try.

Another fun aspect of the game is its risk-like campaign. Your hero begins on a province and you slowly build up your lands, gaining bonuses with each territory you take. The campaign is fun but it feels lacking without any sort of story. A story mode would have been nice in addition to the campaign and skirmish modes but I guess it would be hard to make a story mode with so many races at hand.

Skirmishes are fun as you get the chance to use the same hero you built throughout the campaign to play in regular battles. As the hero gets stronger, his options on the battlefield expand. The offerings in spells is amazing as are the various artifacts. The hero can combine certain artifacts to make sets and gain additional bonuses. Spells range all across the spectrum with polymorphing spells and lightning bolts to heal and summonings.

Overall, the game is an outstanding work in the RTS genre. Unfortunately, it grows a bit repetitive after a while and lacks any real story which limits me to only giving it 4 out of 5 stars overall.

Awsome game

Warlords Battlecry 1 was my all time favorite but WBC 2 will be even better, i think all computer gamers should give this game a chance at least try out the demo, it is an exellent game but not that many people know of it, i will defnitly buy it.
