Warlords: A Legacy

While some have dismissed "Warlords: Battlecry" as a "Warhammer" rip-off, the truth of the matter is this: "Battlecry" is what "Warhammer" isn't. With almost ten very different races to choose from, and the ability to choose when, or if, you want to complete missions (somewhat like GTA), as well as diplomatic power over the world, this game gives the player unparalleled power, as well as a great sense of accomplishment after each battle. The only thing this game lacks is a good story, however, the excellent game-play off-sets this minor flaw. A definite-buy for fans of RTS and/or RPG games!

This is a great game! I've only played the demo but i'm looking forward to purchasing the real game.The hero feature is really cool, thats what separates it from all the other RTS type games. Customizing and developing your hero give it the RPG element. This game is one of the first RPS's. I hope to see more like it.

Also in the editorial reveiw above one race was forgotten, the Barbarians.

Well, we're establishing a trend here...

I too have only played the demo, but I think this game has good potential, and I'll order it soon, but it appears to mix the successes from several games quite effectively. The Hero concept is remeniscent of the Shaman in Populous (Right game?). The races aren't quite as radically different in as in Starcraft, but it's enough, and I'm not sure if balance is an issue or not; I think that a small group of archers with some eyrie support could take down just about anything, and towers do far too much damage, but it may all even out in the end; I'll write something more complete once I've tinkered with the full version...

Just one word WOW!!!

This has got to be the best game i've ever played in my life it's like warcraft times a million. You get a special charecter and you can make guys and fight against the opponent. I really liked it because I personally LOVE the whole wizard, elf, dwarf, magic thing. So if you feel the same way buy this game!!!

Warcraft WHAT?

This game has the best of both worlds, meaning it has an RPG basis with a charector that you can upgrade, and it has the RTS side with 9 UNIQUE races and a great set of campaigns. In the proccess of playing this game I have 9 charectors (one of each race), and 200+ hours of entertainment. If your looking for a great RTS and tired of the min manegement of Warcraft then this is the game for you.

IT RULES!!!!!

This game is superb. I have played many different rts games from C&C and Warcraft to Age of Kings but for me nothin compares 2 this game.
When i downloaded this demo i was an Age Of Empires II freak and i played that game for about a year and was almost an expert. Then i downloaded WB demo and was hocked after a few hours of play, this game is beautiful not only the grapics but also all the fantasy creaters and stuff makes this game a real adventure everytime u play it. Now i am already playin the game for many months WB II is comin out soon, i will buy that also.

Great Game

I've only played the demo, but I liked it so much that I am ordering the game. It is one of the first RTS games that has an actual balance not a this unit is the equivalent to that unit for that race but is a little better so will cost more, as in StarCraft. The game's sides seem very well balanced in the demo and from what I've heard in the full version too. I could say more, but the only other big thing is the RPG mixed with RTS that was a very good idea.

Wonderful game

Warlords is an awesome game in almost all respects. The units are varied and extremely interesting. Unlike AOE, where you can't really say a unit is 'cool', you certainly can in Warlords. Even the different attack methods are astounding. Liches hurl fireballs, dwarf lords smash towers to pieces with poleaxes, trolls toss boulders (and sheep when they can find them), minotaur kings dice enemies into sausage meat with their axes.

The hero aspect is very interesting and unique. There are a ton of different combinations of characters you can make, and as you play, you will find yourself developing stories about your hero.

The campaigns are challenging, but the missions are somewhat stale (kill all the minotaurs, kill all the orcs, kill all the undead.)Still, they're fun and can entertain you for a long while.

My only gripe is about the mission editor. You can't paint terrain, making creating paths and rivers an ardous process.

All in all, a great and at times humorous game that I strongly recomend.

This is a fun, unique RTS game

I began playing RTS (real-time strategy) games about a year ago, with Starcraft. Since then, it has become a favorite activity. Warlords Battlecry is something different in the way of RTS games. You have a hero that controls your troops. This ads a personal element to the multiplayer games that other RTS games lack. Being a woman, I'm a big fan of "pretty" and I have to say that while Starcraft is fun, the game is ugly. The creature are ugly. This is not the case with Battlecry. The game itself is gorgeous and all the units have definite personality. I highly recommend it.
