[PC] Steam - Warlords Battlecry III - $2.42 AUD - Fanatical

110

Good price for a classic, fun game. Not the all time lowest but close to it (and the all-time low was in 2013!) and hence very good if you want to play this game soon/again soon.

From the game:

Warlords Battlecry III further expands the Battlecry tradition of featuring persistent RPG-like fantasy heroes with its retinue of loyal followers fighting massive battles in the Warlords' world of Etheria. It is a true sequel to Warlords Battlecry I & II, featuring many familiar races and troop-types, while also adding some new ones into the mix.

Warlords Battlecry III continue to perfect its automated feature system, greatly reducing gameplay micromanagement and quickly proving to be the holy grail of RTS games among gamers of the genre.

While being a strong RTS outright, there are also numerous activities for players to engage in between battles, such as obtaining titles and awards, trading and purchasing items & retinue members, and even an upgradeable castle to reflect your importance and influence in the world of Etheria.

Extra features included in Warlords Battlecry III are specifically geared to please the legions of previous Battlecry players, including the removal of hero and unit caps, the addition of new special abilities for high-level heroes and the creation of an intuitive hero system. All of these features, coupled with new races and hero classes, new spells and items, and new building and dragons meld to form a Real-Time Strategy game that once again raises the benchmark for other games in the genre. Warlords Battlecry III is poised to receive even greater accolades than the previous award-winning titles in the Warlords Battlecry series.

Features:

  • Sixteen different races, twenty-eight different classes.
  • More than one hundred and thirty spells over thirteen different spheres of magic. New Magic Items many of them special & rare, some even able to cast spells.
  • Plaguelords, Saurians, Swarm. The old Human side will be split into Knights & Empire. This will include new units and new buildings.
  • All of your old favorites plus eight new classes combine together in a new hero system that is easier to learn but harder to master than before. Take heroes beyond level 50. Gain levels while actually playing the game.
  • Rock & Lava terrain, along with Jungle, Ruins and subterranean caverns.
  • Players will be able to produce six different coloured dragons all with unique abilities and breath weapons.
  • Many different shops will allow players to purchase items & troops to aid them in battle. The variety of different Lairs will produce neutral units that will roam the map seeking out trouble.

  • Multiplayer mode is functional, but not supported.

Enjoy!

  • I loved a previous version of this game, cant remember if it was 1 or 2 though. When you click the link, does it play a video for the 2nd version?

  • This is a very good game. It's obviously old, but so enjoyable and challenging. My tip is to use the pause key as much as possible :-)

    • Minotaur still the boss?

      • +1

        I've played with all the races, but I preferred the Fey or Dark Elves. Each race has their own strengths and weaknesses, but if you're after physical strength, then the Minotaurs are a good choice.

        • Downloading as I type!

      • Loved the Warlords series including the music.

        Always found it easy to win with masses of Barbarians (their spears somehow do impact damage) or Empire Archers with flaming arrows.

  • Super tempting but I am waiting for this to go on sale next steam summer sale so 10 months from now.

    Becomes around $10.45 AUD for like 10 games so roughly $1.05 AUD per game.

    Tempted to just buy this now though.

    I am a loser for classic RTS.

    This mod supports modern resolutions. Unless you really want to play in 800x600, which is the only resolution that worked on downloading. Nice.

    Def better in full hd. Text is a bit small though. ;)
