Incredible Retro game

This game was one of the first I ever played on a modern PC. This was the first time I discovered how much the RPG elements combined with Turn-based would captivate me. I have well over 1000 hours logged between the Total War, Civilization, and AoE series and this game was the progenitor of that. Warlords III: Reign of Heroes specifically captivated my imagination. A great deal of what those aforementioned games rely on to hook the player and add depth and a sense of adventure to an other-wise simple board with time-independent decision flow came about in Warlords III. Discovering ruins, adding to a hero's might, and coming up across named and flavor text enhanced world events and locations is a huge part of this game. I highly recommend this to anyone!

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!!

Classic and forgotten

I smashed so many hours into Warlords 1 when I was a kid. Then a Friend got his hands on Warlords 2 and 2 player hot seat just made it even more amazing. Sadly I never really had the chance to play Warlords 3 but thanks to GOG I am revisiting one of the game series that defined gaming in my early years. Also I love that every edition of this game they included the original Map, Illuria, from Warlords 1.

Classic!

A gem of a game and probably the pinnacle of the Warlords series before it all went downhill when they switched to the RTS genre. An incredible amount of customization makes this game addictive even though the AI isn't very challenging, but from time to time it can put up a bit of a fight. Definitely a "just one more turn" game that will eat away at your time.

This game is a treasure for fans of turn-based strategy

It's hard not to gush nostalgically about all the fun this game gave me back in the late 90s. but this review shouldn't be about those times, it should be about the game as it stands today. Thankfully the game lives up to its memories. it runs great, it's a fat-free turn-based strategy game where building stacks of doom to trample the enemy is as important to your success as rapid expansion, deft decision making, and thoughtful surgical strikes. This game features a variety of heroes & races, and nearly 100 units to compose your armies from, each with their own strengths and specialties. Combat boils down to pitting your stack of units vs the enemy's, and seeing which stack reigns supreme. The strategic layer of this game sees the player managing defense upgrades, unit production, hiring heroes, and buying the occasional trinket or spell from travelling merchants. There are treasure sites to visit where loot or allies might be found, and even quests your heroes might undertake to earn a extra money, trinkets, spells, or units. Although turn-based, this game has trimmed much of the fat that that keeps players of other strategy games constantly hitting end-turn turn after turn waiting for something to happen, be it research or production related. Every turn in this game counts. And every turn gives you something to do. You'll never have a reason to mash the end turn button over and over unless your plan is to lose. There are several campaigns included in this release, as well as built-in multiplayer for skirmishing with friends.
