Warlords Battlecry III

Warlords Battlecry III is a real-time strategy game set in the fantasy world of Etheria. You lead armies drawn from familiar and new races and troop types, while persistent heroes and their loyal retinues fight in large battles. An automated feature system reduces gameplay micromanagement.

Heroes and progression

Between battles, you can earn titles and awards, trade for or purchase items and retinue members, and upgrade a castle that reflects your importance and influence in Etheria. Heroes gain levels as you play and can advance beyond level 50. The hero system includes familiar classes and eight new ones, with new special abilities for high-level heroes; hero and unit caps have been removed.

Races and magic

The game includes 16 races and 28 classes, along with more than 130 spells across 13 spheres of magic. New races include Plaguelords, Saurians and Swarm, while the former Human side is divided into Knights and Empire, with new units and buildings for these sides. The game also adds new spells and magic items, including special and rare items, some of which can cast spells.

Battlefields and forces

You fight across Rock & Lava terrain, Jungle, Ruins and subterranean caverns. You can produce six differently coloured dragons, each with unique abilities and breath weapons. Shops let you purchase items and troops, while different Lairs produce neutral units that roam the map seeking out trouble.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer mode is functional but not supported.
