This game should be an advice for modern TBS developers, that this kind of games MUST HAVE hot-seat mode as a standard. No neverending DLCs, pure gaming in one game.

The best turn-based strategy game ever!

This is my favorite strategy game of all time, and I've been waiting for it to show up here since GOG began. To be able to play it on modern systems with no hassles... well, that's the reason GOG is the best! The gameplay blends strategy, tactics, and just enough RPG elements to have you totally invested in the fate of your generals and their armies. If you haven't played it yet, you're in for a treat!

My first love

When I bought my first desktop back in the days, I got a free boxed edition of a game of choice from the guy who sold me the desktop. It was Warlords III I picked and I never changed genre since. Warlords III paved the road for me to many hours of turn-based strategy gaming for me and I was waiting so much for a rerelease of this game. It's finally back again and brought by my favorite publisher. Warlords III offers 4x elements on huge random maps with multiple factions. It uses a random quest system, unit upgrades, experience, construction and much more. It was it's time far ahead. My only wish left for now is a Warlords V.

This game still has it

When I was 6 years old, my uncle introduced me to Warlords II. As soon as Warlords III has been released - I've put at least 100 hours each year into it. It is the best turn based strategy game I have ever played, I value it even more than HoMM III.

Yess!! THIS is why I love GOG!

Years ago, I joined GOG when I saw they had Total Annihilation and Lords of the Realm 2 that I could purchase and play on my current windows platform. I was so excited to revisit games that were old friends who provided me with great memories. I didnt see the Warlords series but figured they would show up eventually. So I waited...and waited. Commented on forums...and waited. Got excited when the Warlords Battlecry series appeared....and waited some more. After seeing forum comments saying this series would probably never end up on GOG or elsewhere (for various reasons), I resigned myself to never playing a quality copy again. Then I opened up GOG today just to kill some time in my library...and there it was! THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason GOG existed in the first place! This made my day! Is this game pefect and flawless? No. Is it a masterpeice? Yes. It is a simple game that will keep you coming back for more...and its now mine again. Thank you, GOG!!
