Generals are the only other troops that have this conversion power, but they are very high in the technology tree, and hence take a while to produce.
Your hero is also indispensable because of his ability to convert neutral or enemy mines and buildings. As such, it's not always wise to have your hero accompany your troops, especially if he's not quick on his feet. The catch is that you also need to protect your hero at all costs, especially during the single-player game where you suffer automatic defeat if your hero falls. Heroes have a command radius, and any armies within range automatically get bonuses, such as increased speed, power, and armor. Your hero character is the focus of the game. However, the most noticeable feature that sets Warlords Battlecry apart from other real-time strategy games are the hero characters. Each race's dependency on resources differs, which adds another element to the strategy, especially in missions where it becomes necessary to set up a garrison by a critical mine or destroy a mine that's vital to your enemy's development. This automatic resource collection lets you concentrate on bigger issues, like vanquishing a horde of minotaurs. Adding a peasant to a mine speeds up the mining process. Fortunately, once you take control of a mine, any gold, stone, metal, or crystal is automatically accumulated over time. It's standard real-time strategy at first every upgrade and unit has a price, and there are four resources to mine, which are used in various combinations as payment. You can then proceed to buy units and unit upgrades to weapons and armor and so forth. After creating a hero character, you begin the campaign and set up shop by building a base, barracks, and a blacksmith.
The game features nine races: humans, orcs, minotaurs, barbarians, dwarves, undead, and three varieties of elves. If you enjoyed those games, then Warlords Battlecry definitely has something to offer you.Īs in most real-time strategy games, Warlords is played from an overhead, isometric perspective. That's because Warlords Battlecry is a solid real-time strategy game that borrows heavily from games like Warcraft II and the Heroes of Might and Magic series. But after playing for a while, and developing a hero character, you'll find that it's hard to tear yourself away from the game, even if you're used to turn-based games. Die-hard fans of previous Warlords games and their signature turn-based gameplay may initially find Battlecry's real-time combat system unappealing.
There has been a slew of impressive, new 3D real-time strategy games recently, but if you've ever enjoyed the great 2D strategy games of years past - or enjoy high-fantasy-themed games in general - then you'll like Warlords Battlecry, the latest game in developer SSG's long-running Warlords series.
