Warlords series was my first strategy experience, and of them I had the most fun with 4. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging, and was the first i had seen in this style. GOG please save this game!!
My best "come back to" game. I used to play it many many dozens of times on my old pc. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging. Also the maps were many and varied.
It was a relatively easy game to get into with zero previous experience. And the turn-based logic allowed you to play in a relaxing way. But while mechanics seemed simple, the graphics, sound and the design of the units kept you engaged.
I had my favorite units (pegasus, if I remember correctly). And I still remember the phrase "watch the sky" said in that exact voice in the game.
I have a REAL soft spot for the Warlords series. When I was in high school, I was at a sleep-over at a friend's place, and we all played a hot-seat match with the original Warlords game. The most vivid memory I have is after everyone went to sleep, I stayed up all night playing on my friend's 386 and didn't look up until passed 6AM.
As of this writing, I have own all of the Warlords games on physical media, including the Battlecry and Puzzle Quest spin-offs. Come to think of it, the Puzzle Quest series of games should be on GOG, too!
Basically all of the Warlords games are great but this one has a large space in my heart in the way you can tailor not only the heroes but the warlord as well.
The live action scenes from the third game was also good and that is when the heroes started being more inclusive.
YES GOG SAVE THIS GAME!
Warlords 4 is a game I can come back to again and again.
2005 I was in a new Town and after a hard day of studies I enjoyed a nice game of warlords 4. Very relaxing 😌 please bring back that game. I would buy it immediately. But it must be able run on a new pc. Thank you very much
I got this game a long time ago from a PC magazine.
I was not a big fan of strategy games by then. And this title changed that. The whole idea of leveling up troops instead of only heroes was brilliant. Different spells, mechanics, and castle buildings - they all mixed into something unforgettable.
We need this on GOG ASAP.
I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid. My friend showed it to me and said "Look, its like a HOMM 3", but honestly, I really enjoyed mechanics in this game, when It was quite random for some time. Like the weakest units sometimes could defeat the best. If this game would be available on GOG I would buy this immediately as it would appear. Please GOG, save this beautiful game. Im dying to get back to it again.
