"They don't come much better than this"
I love the whole series… Have done for years… Very addictive game
"Mindnumbingly good."
I have got Warlords II and Warlords III. I love them both, but the skill
levels are hard to play successfully. Warlords IV on the other hand is the
absolute best thing the creators of the game could have done. It is still hard
to play but because troops only move in groups of 8 and being turn-based there
is total parity. Admittedly there is not the freedom of movement the others had,
but after playing for a while it doesn't matter.
It certainly takes a lot longer to play. One of the earlier areas took me over
70 moves to play. One little trick is to quickly get your cities to build your
‘1 Turn’ creatures while the AI is having its turn. As soon as the AI is
finished and your turn starts they are built. Troop movements do the same. This
helps to negate some of what the AI does as as soon as you see where they are
massing you can start to counteract it. This keeps you absorbed in the game.
Though it is turn-based you never really sit still while the AI is having its
turn. This makes this game one of the best best games I have played.
I am a strategy gamer and I love Zero Hour and Warhammer and I put this one
right up there. I can't stop playing the game. I would recommend this game to
both RPG and Strategy gamers as it has the elements of both with a good
storyline. It doesn't need a high end pc to play it either, but you will need a
bit of HDD space. Enjoy. ;-)
