Warlords series was my first strategy experience, and of them I had the most fun with 4. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging, and was the first i had seen in this style. GOG please save this game!!
My best "come back to" game. I used to play it many many dozens of times on my old pc. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging. Also the maps were many and varied.
It was a relatively easy game to get into with zero previous experience. And the turn-based logic allowed you to play in a relaxing way. But while mechanics seemed simple, the graphics, sound and the design of the units kept you engaged.
I had my favorite units (pegasus, if I remember correctly). And I still remember the phrase "watch the sky" said in that exact voice in the game.
I have a REAL soft spot for the Warlords series. When I was in high school, I was at a sleep-over at a friend's place, and we all played a hot-seat match with the original Warlords game. The most vivid memory I have is after everyone went to sleep, I stayed up all night playing on my friend's 386 and didn't look up until passed 6AM.
As of this writing, I have own all of the Warlords games on physical media, including the Battlecry and Puzzle Quest spin-offs. Come to think of it, the Puzzle Quest series of games should be on GOG, too!
2005 I was in a new Town and after a hard day of studies I enjoyed a nice game of warlords 4. Very relaxing 😌 please bring back that game. I would buy it immediately. But it must be able run on a new pc. Thank you very much
