  • WARLORDS (THE ORIGINAL) - Game Manual Strategic Studies Group (SSG)
    WARLORDS (THE ORIGINAL) - Game Manual Strategic Studies Group (SSG) 1. INTRODUCTION Warlords is an eight player game of the struggle for supreme power in the fabled Kingdom of Illuria. The manual is written for all versions of the game. Computer specific information may be found on the separate information card, and in a README file. If there is a README file, please read it before starting the game. If you have any problems with the components, or questions about the game, please contact Strategic Studies Group at one of the addresses shown at the end of this manual. 2. AN OVERVIEW Warlords is a strategic war game, fought out by eight different players, for the domination of the Kingdom of Illuria. It can be played by one to eight people, with the computer taking the remaining positions. For example, you could have one human versus seven computer opponents, or three humans versus five computer opponents; the mix of human and computer players is up to you. You may even watch eight computer players fight it out. The Kingdom of Illuria, after some severe internal disputes, has seethed under a sullen and uneasy peace. This truce has now disappeared, along with the arch-mage who imposed it. The eight empires of Illuria realise that this is their chance for total domination, a very unstable situation. Forces are being mobilised for conquest, and only one Supreme Warlord will prevail. Your objectives in Warlords are brutally simple: to eliminate all organised opposition to your rule. To do this, you will have to control all eighty cities in the lands of Illuria, and thereby eliminate all seven opponents.

No Need To Install. Wizards And Warlords Free Download PC Game. ABOUT THIS GAME. Blending 4X with grand strategy and simulation, the game offers a plethora of settings and randomly generated cultures and races. It is up to you if you want to fight great wars, crushing powerful rivals in the pursuit of world conquest – the challenge of survival in a grim and dangerous world, perhaps even beset by planar invaders and ancient evils – or a balanced game, where you control but one of many realms in the world, immersing yourself in an emergent story driven by random events and the interactions of randomly generated cultures and factions. Manage your cities and fortresses, increase your power through research and industry, design arcane constructs, recruit armies and heroes, explore and exploit dungeons and ruins, and experience random events and event chains. You can mod several aspects of the game and create your own world maps. Warlords Download (1990 Strategy Game) One of the better war games to be released at the beginning of the 1990's, Warlords has the appearance of a game lovingly designed by its creator, Steve Fawkner. The game is a hybrid of combat, fantasy and strategy and mixes these components very well. Even more commendable is the depth of the game and the astonishing amount of detail and decision making that makes for intense and exciting game play.

Three major scenarios, selected from the various phases of the war, are presented to simulate the changing fortunes of battle as Britain, at first beleaguered by an overwhelming Luftwaffe, finally becomes the bastion from which American and British bombing forces wreak havoc upon the German war machine. Each scenario offers up to six command positions per side, any or all of which may be computer controlled. The player takes the roll of C In C (Air Forces) and/or up to five subordinate commands. The result Is an entertaining and rewarding experience for either solitaire or group play.

Other operations available to strike aircraft Include harassment, raid, and recon missions.
