Enter an epic battle for possession of all sixty-seven regions of Etheria. From your home citadel, you expand to conquer neighboring regions, occupy enemy citadels, and take control of their forces. You will ultimately engage in duels to the death with other heroes, and even quell uprisings by your vanquished foes. As your treasury grows, merchants offer special items for sale, mercenaries offer to join you in battle, and followers flock to your banner.
Experience a unique combination of role-playing heroes and real-time strategy game play. Build Hero warriors in the fantasy world of Etheria and develop them into unique classes such as Death Knight, Assassin, or Ice Mage. Your hero and his retinue are carried forward from battle to battle, growing stronger and more powerful. Answer the call of Warlords Battlecry™ II!
Persistent hero development with 12 different hero races and 20 hero classes.
Over 100 spells spread over 11 spheres of magic.
Features a random map generator and editor for unlimited replay value!
Despite this game not working for me i refuse to give this game a bad rating. Out of all 3 of Warlords Battlecry games this one is my favorite, mainly because of how great the single player campaign was, i really disliked the single player campaign in the 3rd version
Warlords Battlecry 2 is a fun real-time strategy title with an emphasis on the hero-leaders and the god-like Titan champions each race can summon near the end game. There are hours of fun play here, and the meta-game of trying to conquer the world one region at a time can be very entertaining.
Fair warning, however: it's not an especially well-balanced game. The faster races will have taken over half the board by the time the slow-moving Dwarven races get properly mobilized. The humans get a resource-converting healer early, and it can make a huge difference. The fragile Fey are everyone's punching bag. And the Dark Elven Assassins (unit, or worse, hero) can wipe out a high-level hero or a multi-thousand resource titan with a single lucky hit.
Delve into the heroic abilities, and you will probably find your own ways of breaking the game soon enough. Do not try playing this with friends who take their competitive gaming seriously, or you will lose some friends.
Still, as long as you play it with an open mind and not too seriously, it's an amazingly expansive game. You'll develop a real affection for your favorite races and the tactics they make possible, and how those tactics play into the abilities brought to the field by your hero. Converting half of your opponent's buildings to your side while they aren't looking, sending dozens of quick-producing skeletons to harrass them, or watching the crystal roll into your coffers from a host of Ancient Wisps rarely gets old.
It achieves, to my mind, the best balance of the Battlecry games. WBC 1 was an experiment, had fewer races, and had more obvious holes in its systems. WBC 3 has so many races that the lack of balancing becomes impossible to ignore, and has so many status effects going off at once in many battles that it becomes indecipherable what is and isn't working.
If you like games in the Warcraft II mold, this is a fine addition to your collection, and one of the last grand sprite-based RTS games.
WBC2 is a great Game, a true Classic among all the others out there.
Create a Hero from scratch, starting with picking a race of your favour, and then going down deeper by picking its profession, orientation and skills. (Fey Archmage is my personal fav for lots of trollololol)
The campaign is a Territory-capture system with a Map, each Zone captured is giving a different Bonus.
Skirmishes with the provided Maps and AI's can be long, drawn out and Hothothot!
Map Editor to fullfill the needs of every classic RTS-Fan.
Sadly, as great as WBC2 is/was, the CD-Release already had a tendency to crash, and so does this one.
The crashes are random and not to be further rooted down to or determined from what they come.
If the crashes ever receive a fix, i will give this game a 5 Star rating, but since its rather a real Crash Derby, sadly only 1 Star.
I love this game. I'd willingly write a huge review about all the fantastic things you'll discover while playing, but there's nothing I can say that former reviews haven't already.
Basically, it has heart. It's charming, engrossing and epic and on countless occasions I'll launch the game and suddenly find myself still playing several hours later. I first played it over ten years ago and to this very day I still play it from time to time. No other RTS that I've played since this one has ever compared.
With some easy tweaks, it runs just fine on my Windows 7 OS - they're easily found via google. WBC2 can be somewhat prone to crashing, particularly when trying to get a LAN game going, but not enough that it's a nuisance. In fact the biggest issue is probably that the maximum resolution is no where near 1080p which can be frustrating after playing modern games but that's simply an aesthetic thing. Even at the games max resolution it runs beautifully, still looks quite beautiful and sounds beautiful too.
Give this game a go and you might just fall in love with it like so many people have. If not, well, it's only 6 bucks so what's the issue? I'd recommend this game over the sequel, Warlords Battlecry 3, any day. Here's hoping they eventually make a fourth. Cheers.
My favourite game of all time. It's aged slightly, but plays far better than Starcraft/Warcraft1+2 from the same time period on today's higher-res screens. Story is almost non-existant, and gameplay is repetitive, but it's the LoL or DotA kind of repetitive which keeps you playing for huge lengths of time. One of the biggest varieties of races and classes in any PC game ever, almost certainly the biggest on release, and even the same race/class/speciality combo can be spec'd in multiple effective ways. Hero levelling and progress is amazing, and the AI is (surprisingly) really good for the time. Zero gameplay bad points, WBCII is let down only by the lack of story, which many would argue isn't necessary in any case. After all, you don't need justification or character development to take over the world :).
