    I'm sorry I didn't review Warlords Battlecry earlier because I think it would have found its way onto our Game of the Year ballot under one heading or another.

    There are few successful fantasy RPG, and the Warlords are a quality product. It will enchant every fan of fantasy games as well as RPG/FRP, and strategies.

    A well-rounded and polished RTS with the added bonus of the heroes that integrate with and elevate the game to a higher level.

    It won't win any awards, but if you are looking for an excellent quality strategy game with some new dimensions, Warlords 3: Battlecry is your game.

    But if you have battled your way through "Warcraft II" and still lust for more real time swords and sorcery, then Warlords Battlecry will provide you with hours of quality entertainment.
