Holier-than-thou. Also with better units.



<span class="bold">Warrior Kings: Battles</span>, the sequel to the epic 3D RTS about feuding warlords, now DRM-free on GOG.com.

The Holy Empire of Orbis, a vast theocratic state, still lies shattered and fragmented, 100 years after the bloody rebellion against its corrupt Patriarch threw it into disarray. Now an usurper sits on the throne and a new general must rise and try to reunite all provinces in order to overthrow the evil Lord Protector.

In Warrior Kings: Battles resource gathering and army-building are crucial but more often than not battles are decided by the clever tactics and timely use of formations your troops employ during combat. The innovative Alignment system will further branch the campaign's storyline and your multiplayer strategy options, depending on which path you choose to follow. Do you favor thick fortifications and grandiose units? Then the theocratic Imperial path is your calling. Maybe you prefer to command large numbers of disposable barbarians, backed up by demonic witchcraft. If so, the life of the Pagan is the one for you. Or you can let technological and financial supremacy tip the scales in your favor as you usher a new Renaissance upon the fragmented kingdoms.


Battle for the glory of a reunited Holy Empire and crush the opposing warlords in <span class="bold">Warrior Kings: Battles</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

CharlesGrey: I wonder if anyone ever bothered to code a "Random Video Game Title Generator". You just press a button, and then it uses a mixture of words such as "Dragon", "Power", "Mystery", "Total", "Hero", "Adventure" etc. and spits out beautiful titles such as this one.
Sure - http://videogamena.me/ or http://fantasynamegenerators.com/video-game-names.php
Hah, I knew it. At least now we know how these titles came into existence.

Just tested the first one: "Magical Terrorist Fest" ... That's actually not bad.

tinyE: Did someone say The Warriors!?
Yep, The Warriors!

CharlesGrey: "Warrior Kings: Battles"? I'd say we have a serious contender for "Most generic and uninspired Video Game Title Ever"...
You might be right. I played it years ago, but I can barely remember any details. Didn't left any impression on me, which is generally not a good sign for a video game. However, as it is, neither can I say anything bad about it ;-)

I'm now expecting someone to put up "Magical Terrorist Fest" on Steam Greenlight...
I actually think I've played this game.. or the original.

Vaguely seem to remember it was quite good too.

Might have to get it at some point.

I think it would be kind of like My Little Pony, except the ponies explode. What's not to like?

JudasIscariot: Oh I got it too :D I just didn't say anything :D Good movie and definitely one of the better movie-based games out there :D
er, Judas, back to the topic, are you sure the HDD space required (written on the gamecard) is correct. ?

that seems wrong (8 GB o_O) : look at the installer size , and i checked on Steam , it's more likeky 800 MB (i could be wrong , but in this case : the compression would be quite huge)

I went to see if this game was on Steam, and it's currently 90% off there for $1 (normally 9.99). Unfortunate timing for GOG it appears.

The Steam version also appears untouched, however.

Just checked appears I own the first and this game on steam. Must have picked them up on a special. Well I'll grab this here next sale. I'm trying to wean myself off steam buying. New years resolution anyway.

Indeed -- the Steam page says it's 800 MB.

And while we've bent your ear...any word on WINE compatibility?
I'll always remember this game due to its hilariously bad voice acting. I've found a bunch on youtube:

I see 800 MB on the game card so I don't know where the 8 GB is coming from?

No, no tricks :) Just wasn't sure where the 8 GB came from :) I may have noticed earlier and fixed it before or something :)
