    FEATURES

    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.

    Great game to play on the Lan or through Hamachi for under $10. I have seen allot written about buggy play, but we have not had any problems, so I can't comment on that. We play the game on Vista (and one with Vista64, however 64 is NOT recommend in the system requirements) computers and laptops. We each use our own copy. Your mileage may vary. The RTS portion of the game plays well, but for me it is the RPG aspect of your hero that is the most enjoyable. Really nothing new, you can customize stats and spells, but it is a proven formula for fun. After several games they become pretty powerful. With lots of units, spells, customizable heroes, and multi-player with co-op this game is a mainstay on our LAN.

    This game has good ideas like the campaign navigation mode avoiding the usual linear story. Unfortunatelly, even with the patched version (1.03) provided by GamersGate, it is so full of bugs that it's not even playable. Ranged units that never hit, roaming units always ending up stuck in the lower right corner of the map, victory trigger unable to activate after the map is cleaned, not to mention the awful savegame system that could lose your hero definitively. I wonder how other players could give it more than two stars.
