Warlords IV

[Asmodean]

Heroes 3 is one of the best games I have ever played. Great game. Heroes 4 is still on my hard drive, and I play it from time to time.

I haven't played AOW2, so I can't really say. It's real time, isn't it?

No it's the same subgenre. Fantasy-based TBS, though I can't say much about how the gameplay compares since I've not played either it or the Warlords series.

Its a real shame someone doesn't buy up the MoM licence.

The Warlords series is excellent. III is the best yet.

You know, I feel so incredibly dumb right now. I've have never cared for this game, 'cause the title led me to believe that it is an "Age" game like Age of Empires etc. I simply just saw the title, and formed my opinion of the game based on that.

I'm definately gonne give this one a try

Gald to be of service. I'll let you know what I think if I play it anytime soon.

So, what IS wrong with the demo, before I spend ages DLing it? If its better/worse than the actual release, then why?

I liked the demo, but you might find it a bit bland. It gives you a single scenario and two sides. I think I ended up building up my warlord to level three or so in it.

[Asmodean]

I haven't played the demo. but I will get the game anyway.

That's how sure I am tat it's gonna be great.

[DrSpike]

Hehe I am hardly ever that sure these days.

[Jamski]

I swear that ToEE will be my last such mistake. I'll get the demo, if I can rely on my connection not to crash before the DL is finished.

My last such mistake was MoO3 (at least when you count the games that I've bought.

I'm playing the campaign as a Combat/Divine Magic Dragon Warlord on Emperor (highest) difficulty level.

Currently on the second scenario, but I am a bit worried about my ability to win it. I didn't initially realize that the two dwarven sides in Drak'Dum were allied.^-^

The biggest complaint about the demo has been fixed with the addition of a "Battle Animations: Fast" option.

Oh, and for some reason my checkbox for animated water is greyed out. It worked in the demo.

BTW, I made some icons for Warlords IV a while back (hey, I've been drooling over this game since it was announced.

They can be used with ObjectDock.

Oh, and if you don't like mine, you can just copy the PNGs from /Warlords IV/Assets/Portraits/ directory for some good alternatives. They are of the appropriate proportion and have nice borders.

Good to see that I am not the only Apolytoner who likes Stardock's Object Desktop
