I gotta say I knew this classic has a good sense of humor, and I see the playability is also good enough. I'm sure it will be a fun ride
Amazing gem indeed. I love the challenge this game poses, and although some aspects are outdated, such as the interludes and lack of character representations, the action and humor is great.
I have been looking to play this game again. It was an awesome experience back then, and because of its simplicity it will age in the future. Warlords II was a "simple" strategy game, with clean graphics. You control cities and armies and even heroes who go to quests. The AI was good and challenging and played well with the diplomacy. It always looked like a board game to me and the former manual, not the Deluxe, showed like a board game. I'd say it's and advanced board game. Try it, I enjoyed a lot. I know the deluxe version includes an editor, I never used it because the game lets you generate random maps.
This is a pretty game, it reminded me of Litil Divil in some interactivity or even Dragon's Lair for the big animated art. It was really short and beat it in less than 4 hours, but I liked it.
