Warlords

[Misconnected]

Anyone know where to get a copy of Warlords 2 or 3? I never played the latter, but I played the hell out of Warlords 2 back in the day, and Warlords 3 looks near identical.

EDIT: mind that I do not mean the Battlecry series.

The soundrack to RoH is just too good...

The original CD even had the music tracks tagged. I think this one is called "War's End / Sorrow's Beginning".



"Holy Psalm"

Warlords 3 is one of the best turn based strategies ever and epithome of the series, there is nothing wrong with the game, 10/10. After 4 it went downhill.

After 4? 4 was the last in the series. Battlecry came out way before that.

Warlords 3 was my first introduction to these types of games, after a "Game of the Year" award from Computer Gaming World(RIP) magazine got me interested. What an awesome game. They had also recommended Myth previously. Back when game journalists weren't complete shit.

To be fair games used to be good as well.

I'm surprised they didn't jump on the kickstarter bandwagon with Warlords. I wouldn't even care if they had to make it Lordwars because someone else owns the IP (Ubisoft? I don't know), a proper sequel to Darklords is way overdue.

I always loved that MP games in Warlords actually got finished more often than not (unlike most games of HoMM I've played, 20+ min turns are not fun).

Battlecry was alright, only the graphics always rubbed me the wrong way. Having the arts from 3 alongside ugly plasticky sprites was really shitty.

Yup, the graphics were rather shite, but the game was very enjoyable for an RTS.

Fawkner and Co. were making pretty good money with Puzzle Quest stuff. He even hinted at new Warlords games multiple times. Last thing I think he mentioned a new RTS game but that was a while back too...

Both DLR/RoH seem to work just fine on Windows 7 (if you install it on a diff OS and use -wincursor when launching the .exe)
These Russkies seem to be into PBEM shit: http://lastcitadel.ru/Downloads.aspx
You can download DLR (without the music CD).

Darklords along with HoMM 3 is like the holy duo of late 90's turn based games.

Still as awesome as I remembered it.

I had played a lots of Warlords 2 in the olde times. But I cannot remember using heroes and quests. Only recruiting armies and conquer.

Quests could give a major power boost if reward happened to be something like 4 dragons or Boots of Speed which gave hero stack double movement.

Interesting trivia : having two heroes in a stack, each wearing boots of speed, gives the stack triple move.
