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!
