    This has become one of the great games in the Warlords series. Patch 1.05 makes this one of the most challenging and hardest games I've ever played. The bugs are gone and the strong AI is in and if I know many of you out there reading this that is what you want to know about most is how good is the AI? Well it will stomp you on just medium difficulty time and time again. You'll need someThis has become one of the great games in the Warlords series.

Well it will stomp you on just medium difficulty time and time again. You'll need some strong retinues to get to the higher levels of difficulty also. Great game buy it if you can still find it.… Expand

    Definiately the most original and refreshing installment of Warlords. Very nice graphics and sound, well thought-over gameplay, decent replayability and very long campaign makes it a compelling game, not only for Warlords Junkie.

    The game itself is ok, but the earlier versions are much more fun to play. save some hard drive space and play warlords 3.

    You practically need a magnifying glass to spot your tiny units on the map. [Jan 2004, p.67]

    There is an undeniably addictive quality about this release, but it is so far overshadowed by the shallow nature of the gameplay that its power to enchant will be tested with all but the most ardent groupies.

    A highly streamlined sequel that shifts the series' focus away from management and diplomacy to surprisingly fast-paced combat.
