=)įor a game this old, it withstands the test of time. Just invite two friends, take 4-6 hours and have a lot of fun. Feels best when played in coop against the AI. Nice parts: Easy to learn, moderate to master. So frustrating, as there is little against that in early game. And when the AI gets a dragon rather early in the game. It's intended to be used like that, but very often the game doesn't recognize all clicks, especially the right ones. If you want to know what I mean, just try and move a group not as a group but unit by unit (like to remove some weaker units from the group). But choosing your options sometimes can be quite complicated, as the combination of units in a group can lead to significant advantages, giving you opportunities to conquer even castles where you are outnumbered 2:1 by medium strength units with only one group attacking.Īnnoying parts: The sometimes not really properly triggering controls. (I have three versions laying around here, 1.01, 2.00 and 2.10, and I don't mean Warlords 2 by that, but Warlords 1 in versions 1.01, 2.00 and 2.10.) I don't think the game mechanics are too complex, that's true. On current DOSBox 0.74 it works like charm, but maybe that's something of a Warlords version issue. Well, graphics and controls needing a bit of getting used to aside, the game is awesome. Clever military tactics and even economic warfare are possibilities too. you might ally with dragons or wizards, or have your Heros search out and wield magical swords that will tip the battle There are many ways to achieve this, and brute force To do this, you will have to controlĪll eighty cities in the lands of Illuria, and thereby eliminate all seven opponents. Your objectives in Warlords are brutally simple: to eliminate all organized opposition to your rule. Forces are being mobilizedįor conquest, and only one Supreme Warlord will prevail. TheĮight empires of Illuria realize that this is their chance for total domination, a very unstable situation. This truce has now disappeared, along with the arch-mage who imposed it. The Kingdom of Illuria, after some severe internalĭisputes, has setthed under a sullen and uneasy peace.

Played by one to eight people, with the computer taking the remaining positions. Warlords is a stratigic war game, fought out by eight different players, for the domination of the Kingdom of Illuria.
