About This 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.

Gotta say, the campaign is NOT at all what I remembered. The original game had you starting at the racial capital for your hero and your mission was to conquer the world. Now, it is an RPG story quest with RTS missions. Editor also has the same problem as what I saw with the GoG one years ago, can't build a proper trainer map with tons of chests for easy item looting, nor the quest buildings that gave various rewards. Seen people complaining about some issue with saving on Ironman mode, but I have yet to try and save middle of a game so I can't comment on that. Many of the other modes, like Bronzeman, are missing. Just Normal or Ironman. Might have to break out my old disc and try installing that way instead. If compatibility is too much of an issue, then might have to go the route of using a virtual machine with Windows XP like I had to do with Sim Tower and OG Simcity. Issues of the game not matching what the original was like aside, this is still a classic of old school of RTS m...

I am having screen issues with this game. There are no options to choose from... ANYWHERE once you go into the game. I used to play this game with the CD and I know your HERO has abilities other then blindly attack :( As of right now... I've been burnt on this game!
