Warlords Battlecry III is a real-time strategy
game developed by Infinite Interactive and
published in 2004. It is the third installment in
the Warlords Battlecry series and the sequel to
Warlords Battlecry II.
While Warlords Battlecry III is primarily a
real-time strategy game, it has some elements of
role-playing in that players can complete optional
quests, as well as create a customized Hero
character that can level up from battle to battle
and equip unique and powerful items.
The Campaign is a mixture of an overhead
strategic map with real-time gameplay. Departing
from the system used in Warlords Battlecry II,
which consisted of a Risk-style board with
territories, Warlords Battlecry III divides the
world of Etheria into numerous locations (mostly
cities) that players travel between, with various
events at each. Almost all of the map locations
have missions to play, some of which are not
readily visible until other missions have been
completed, as well as shops, academies, and/or
mercenaries for hire. Once a player enters a
mission, the game switches to real-time strategy
gameplay reminiscent of games such as Warcraft and
Age of Empires. Players use four resources, Gold,
Metal, Crystal and Stone, which are used to
produce a variety of structures and units. Unlike
many other RTS games, resources are present as
neutral buildings which can be captured and
destroyed (not permanently) and generate resources
automatically without player input. Although magic
and spells come into play, games are usually
decided by the player who has a combination of an
overwhelming number of superior units and better
micromanaging of his Hero character. The Hero
typically becomes extremely powerful by late game
and can slay tens of normal units alone.
Warlords Battlecry III is unique in its replay
ability due to the diplomacy system and the number
of races in the game. Depending on which missions
have been completed and what was their original
race selection, players can be Enemies, Neutral,
Friendly, or Allied (which makes that race
playable) with each of the 16 races. Preprogrammed
biases explained in the backstory mean that it is
more difficult for a player to be allied with two
warring races, such as Dwarves and Plaguelords,
but it is possible.
Warlords Battlecry III has more factions and hero
types than the earlier games in the series, with
16 different races and 28 varying character
classes. Heroes have groups of loyal soldiers
called a retinues, which will follow and fight for
them in battle, and the level cap for units was
increased to 20 in this game, up from 7. The human
faction was split in this game into two new races:
the Empire and the Knights, and the new races of
Swarm, Plaguelord, and Ssrathi were introduced.
Each old race received at least one new unit,
sometimes several. New magic spells were added,
including the all-new Arcane, Poison, and
Divination schools. Several new hero classes were
added, as well as a brand-new campaign engine and
a completely new hero level-up method that
includes the ability to level up in the middle of
a battle (players were previously restricted to
leveling up after battles only).
