Warlords Battlecry is a trilogy of RPG/ Real-Time Strategy games and the Spinoff of the well-known Warlords franchise and published by SSG/Enlight Interactive/ Ubisoft. It was released on the PC in two-year intervals: the first launched in 2000, the sequel in 2002, and the final game was released in 2004. The series' plot focused on a continuing struggle between the Civilized (Human, Dwarf, Undead), Barbarian (Orc, Barbarians, Minotaur) and Magical (Dark Elf, Wood Elf, High Elf) races, who are all vying for power. In the two sequels, several races end up forging alliances to stop the Horsemen of the Apocalypse from plunging the world into eternal darkness. The series was created by Warlords founder Steve Fawkner, and predominately featured a mixture of real-time strategy and roleplaying elements, including a customizable hero leveling system, various factions and races to choose from, a wide variety of missions and scenarios, and various special units that players could add to their retinue. ![]() ![]() In each mission, the hero starts with a small selection of Starting Units and amasses more troops, spells and resources through upgrades, the discovery of special temples (Shrines/Mausoleums) and spellbook. Get your men to the other side of the map without letting the enemies men get to yours. Later installments of the series added more races (including Chaotic Evil factions like the Plaguelords and Dark Dwarves), the ability to travel around a world map completing story missions and bonus scenarios, a multiplayer mode, new upgrades and a Diplomacy system, which allows players to forge alliances with other factions. Your mission in this cool strategy game is to push back the enemy forces to win the battle.Action Bomb: The Dark Dwarves use this as their standard method of warfare. ![]() A Load of Bull: An entire faction, serving under the horseman of war.They're fans of fighting, hard hitters, and have what's possibly the strongest general in the game, in the form of a huge minotaur with an axe that could chop a tower in half. Asskicking Equals Authority: The hero's retinue units can gain XP and level up to a maximum of eight ranks.Artificial Stupidity: In the first game, enemy heroes can sometimes go on a suicidal charge with a small group of units into the hero's camp if the player controls/destroys enough resources on the map.Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Averted - it's possible to amass hordes of allied units onscreen depending on the player's level, charisma and number of upgrades, although this runs the risk of crashing the game.Animate Dead: Used by several races (notably by the Undead) to summon cheap armies. This gives them a larger command presence (which gives bonuses for units inside that field), more damage and speed.
