The latest installment in the award-winning series, Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria is a unique blend of role playing
Description
Warlords IV is a unique blend of role playing and turn-based strategy gaming. The game focuses on your hero, who plays a pivotal role in the success or failure of your military and economic efforts. Warlords IV is set in the troubled land of Etheria. Old foes such as Dwarves, Elves and Orcs have resumed their ancient hostilities and the Undead legions of Lord Bane have returned. The Sirians continue their quest for dominance, and the unquiet whispers speak of the Volturnans, a race even more evil than the Undead. The heroes of Warlords IV show their mastery of sword and sorcery in the tactical combat system. Casting spells, smiting foes or boosting morale of shaken troops, heroes can turn the tide of battle. Players grow and develop heroes from battle to battle, gaining in abilities and skills, and accumulating magic items and treasures.
