Warlords III Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 best CNET Gamecenter Review By Hugh Falk (9/4/1997)
For those unfamiliar with Warlords, gameplay is similar to the classic
Empire games by Interstel and New World Computing. Those unfamiliar with
Empire need to stop reading until they've played at least one version--I
refuse to continue until you do. Good. Let's move on. Warlords has taken
the basic Empire premise and beaten it with a big fantasy stick. There are
64 fantasy army types, 10 hero types, 16 spells, and 31 abilities. Despite
the change in scale and genre, Warlords maintains a rare Empire-like
addictiveness that makes even the sleepiest person say "just one more
turn" until Mom finally locks up the computer or his or her spouse
threatens to leave.
Play With
Distinction If you're looking for a multiplayer strategy game, you can't do any
better than Warlords III. For starters, even though Warlords is a
turn-based game, players take their turns simultaneously. Although this
has been done a few times in the past, Warlords is the first game I've
seen do it successfully.
