    Best overall strategy game in a long time. Wait321 doesn't know what he's talking about.

    I really hate to see people down a game based on simplicity. Sure the game is simple to play but damn hard to master. I'd wager highly he's (Wait321) never played a higher difficulty with maximum ai opponents and won. Th... Read Full Review

    Way too simple.

    Warlords IV feels like a game from the 1980s with modern graphics. Compared to other turn-based strategy games, the gameplay is way too simplistic. The entire game pretty much consists of building units, moving them t... Read Full Review

    The Game it's self is very nice from the graphics to the music...although sometimes repetitive.The carrying over of your Warlord and Three Heroes,along with items and stats from a skirmish mode to the actual campaign m... Read Full Review

    Wonderful Game

    I have been playing many games but one like this never. The gameplay is fantastic. You have time to build your army before going to battle and conquer the land. You can choose from playing different maps from the stor... Read Full Review

    Immersive addictive strategy game that you can learn in five minutes, but with a depth of complexity that retains interest while yet remaining under the hood and user transparent. Tactical combat with an automatic transm... Read Full Review
