Amazon.com Product Description
Warlords Battlecry takes real-time strategy gameplay into the next generation with hero-based gameplay. Create a hero in one of eight races and then take him and his armies through campaigns, quests, and multiplayer games. Choose from humans, dwarfs, orcs, minotaurs, undead, high elf, dark elf, and wood elf. Your hero and his armies must set out on either a path of good or a path of evil to destroy the Two Tears (two powerful and mystical meteorites) before they fall into the wrong hands. As you win scenarios, campaigns, or multiplayer games and your hero gains experience, he will be able to choose a specialty class that will strengthen his attributes: warrior, priest, rogue, or wizard. Your hero becomes an extension of you, the gameplayer, because of the time you'll invest to create and develop the hero. Warlords Battlecry brings a Dungeons and Dragons/RPG aspect to the RTS genre. Your hero continues to develop over time, no matter the type of game you play.

 Warlords: A Legacy October 22, 2007
While some have dismissed "Warlords: Battlecry" as a "Warhammer" rip-off, the truth of the matter is this: "Battlecry" is what "Warhammer" isn't. With almost ten very different races to choose from, and the ability to choose when, or if, you want to complete missions (somewhat like GTA), as well as diplomatic power over the world, this game gives the player unparalleled power, as well as a great sense of accomplishment after each battle. The only thing this game lacks is a good story, however, the excellent game-play off-sets this minor flaw. A definite-buy for fans of RTS and/or RPG games!

This game bridges the gap between the old 2D turn based strategy games to the 3D real time games that are popular now. While it is not quite in the league of Warcraft, it is a fun game, and certainly worth picking up. You can get Battelcry 1,2 and 3 for under 30 bucks. That is a lot of playing for a great price.
 This is a fun, unique RTS game March 4, 2002

I began playing RTS (real-time strategy) games about a year ago, with Starcraft. Since then, it has become a favorite activity. Warlords Battlecry is something different in the way of RTS games. You have a hero that controls your troops. This ads a personal element to the multiplayer games that other RTS games lack. Being a woman, I'm a big fan of "pretty" and I have to say that while Starcraft is fun, the game is ugly. The creature are ugly. This is not the case with Battlecry. The game itself is gorgeous and all the units have definite personality. I highly recommend it.
Best computer game i have ever played January 20, 2002

This game is superb. I have played many different rts games from C&C and Warcraft to Age of Kings but for me nothin compares 2 this game.
When i downloaded this demo i was an Age Of Empires II freak and i played that game for about a year and was almost an expert. Then i downloaded WB demo and was hocked after a few hours of play, this game is beautiful not only the grapics but also all the fantasy creaters and stuff makes this game a real adventure everytime u play it. Now i am already playin the game for many months WB II is comin out soon, i will buy that also.
IT RULES!!!!! December 6, 2001
