There are even mercenary armies and heroes who can join your cause, as long as you have enough gold to pay for their services. Along the way, you command heroes that seek out quests to uncover magic items or beastly allies to aid you in the conflict. You gain power by capturing cities, which provide you with both the income and the ability to produce more armies. In Warlords III, you're positioned as the commander of a fantasy army at war. With Darklords Rising, Red Orb has filled in some of the gaps, and reaffirmed the Warlords franchise as one of the best strategy series around in the process. And although Warlords III was a great game, some of the best features of its predecessor, such as the excellent army editor, weren't included. Last year, Red Orb Entertainment released Warlords III: Reign of Heroes, the much-anticipated sequel to Warlords II.
