RPG and RTS mixed together...

It's a second game of the series, and it's better than first game. Even if it dropped story mode and gave campaign map with free choice of attack, it is more polished and balanced than previous game. Of course every core of mechanics are present, so you will not have to learn again how to play, basically every nation got their upgrades and new units. For those who have never played this game, it has a lot to learn, because game contains a lot of diffrent nations, heroes (and their skills), spells, upgrades, and more. Concept of heroes like in rpg, had been copycatted in Warcraft 3 later, which led to creation of DOTA map mod, and DOTA as a game. Yup, this series are in some way the progenitors of DOTA 2 and League of Legends. You should be grateful and buy a copy, if you are a fan of LoL :) Anyway, it has the soul of oldschool RTS. Build workers, send them to mines, gain materials, build barracks, then army, upgrade them, smash your enemy. Gain experience with hero and units, protect them, and be superior than your enemy. Sounds familiar? It's a game for you ;)

This game is one of my obsessions.

I've spent thousands of hours in the 3 games of the series. I love them all and I think the perfect Warlords game would have features of all 3 of them. This review will be like a comparison for those who may have played 3 before this one. Here, the RTS battle is at its best. Warriors are more powerful; you don't have to rely on your retinue, spellcasters are more interesting and still very fun to play: plentiful of mana without the need to invest every single point to intelligence. Annoying random criticals of 3 are not a thing* I also liked the class development system much more than in 3. Raising Training to 13/19/25 and 41** may at first seem like a grind, delaying your development, but it gives you some kind of purpose. In every level, you feel like you can actually improve your character in something (and not just 1 point for 1 spell and call it a level). There are 4 less races here, for which I don't care much about. The disadvantages of this game is that there is no depth in its campaign: no matter who owns an area, you'll fight the original map (if you are lucky, otherwise a random one, still nothing to do with its owner), and a race who owns more maps (besides you, getting bonuses) doesn't seem to get more powerful due to that. No trading, no resources, no alliances, not anything. There are senseless race/class restrictions (a trend of the time that plagued many games, like BGs), and to my PC (with dxwnd for a decent resolution) it crashes frequently, so save often. For any other game, I wouldn't tolerate that. Still the best. * armor here does what it's supposed to do, % damage reduction. It's not a bad thing alone that they changed it in 3, the bad thing is that they left every other aspect of the battle as is (including critical chances), so it destroyed the balance. ** to get the bonus points each level. Fighters and Archmages can get to 41 relatively easily, runemasters, shamen, runemasters and DKs with much more effort, the rest can stop to 25.

No highter resolution than 1024*768

The game is a good mix of rts and rpg with a lot of different factions BUT The game crash if you set a resolution superior than 1024*768 no widescreen support no windowed mode An HD remake would be great...

Buggy and practically unplayable

I use to play this game when it first came out on my piece of crap PC. I now have a very new laptop, but for whatever reason my piece of crap PC from 15 years handles this game a lot better. In 5 hours I've had to restart my runs on the campaign in this game 8 times due to various bugs and errors, which having checked the forums have been around for the last 6 years but no attempts have been made to fix them. If I didn't spend $1.63 on this I would probably demand a refund.
