About Warlords Battlecry III
Warlords Battlecry III further expands the Battlecry tradition of featuring persistent RPG-like fantasy heroes with its retinue of loyal followers fighting massive battles in the Warlords' world of Etheria. It is a true sequel to Warlords Battlecry I & II, featuring many familiar races and troop-types, while also adding some new ones into the mix.
Warlords Battlecry III continue to perfect its automated feature system, greatly reducing gameplay micromanagement and quickly proving to be the holy grail of RTS games among gamers of the genre.
While being a strong RTS outright, there are also numerous activities for players to engage in between battles, such as obtaining titles and awards, trading and purchasing items & retinue members, and even an upgradeable castle to reflect your importance and influence in the world of Etheria.
Extra features included in Warlords Battlecry III are specifically geared to please the legions of previous Battlecry players, including the removal of hero and unit caps, the addition of new special abilities for high-level heroes and the creation of an intuitive hero system. All of these features, coupled with new races and hero classes, new spells and items, and new building and dragons meld to form a Real-Time Strategy game that once again raises the benchmark for other games in the genre. Warlords Battlecry III is poised to receive even greater accolades than the previous award-winning titles in the Warlords Battlecry series.

Warlords Battlecry III is the best RTS ever made. It's got tons of variety and depth, an awesome singleplayer campaign, progression + RPG mechanics, beautiful graphics, and super memorable music and voice acting. While not the most balanced RTS out there, to me it's always been the most fun and creative by far. I would sell my soul for a sequel11 found this helpful

Warlords Battlecry III is an underrated RTS ( Real-Time Strategy) classic with an incredible amount of content. With countless heroes, races, units, and customization options, every campaign can feel different, giving the game excellent replay value. The RPG (Role-Playing Game) elements add real depth, allowing you to develop your hero across multiple battles while experimenting with different strategies and army compositions. Even after all these years, it remains one of the most unique real-time strategy games ever made. If you're a fan of classic RTS games with RPG mechanics, Warlords Battlecry III is absolutely worth playing.
Its Awesome
Not the greatest port in the world, but my biggest issue was the resolution. It's a pretty easy fix with a community patch for it, simple search on google will bring it up. After that it has some lag issues after winning a battle... which I'm pretty sure is the community patch issue, but seriously it's worth the 10 second delay to play full screen. Game is solid just like the original, makes me sad they never did a WBC4. All in all it's worth the money if you've previously played it on PC with the original. It still holds up with the RPG elements and honestly, there really isn't any bugs I've found, aside from the screen resolution which isn't a bug, just sorta a half-assed port.
