All Game Guide
The game easily overcomes its few shortfalls (such as having only one game map and no option to modify units or land) through sheer depth of game play and the concomitant application of strategy needed against formidable computer or human opponents.

Being an absolute reference to the strategy genre, I rate Warlords with 4, mainly because of the plain graphics and sounds, and the lack of more maps. The successor fixes these issues, but this part is the real classic!

Top Secret
Dawno, dawno temu. kiedy grą o znakomitej grafice był Grand Prix katowaliśmy nasze oczy i uszy grami strategicznymi w rodzaju Tigers in the Snow lub Empire. Ostatnio pojawiły się gry nowej generacji, zasługujące na to miano ze względu na swoją grafikę, efekty dźwiękowe i możliwość jednoczesnego udziału więcej niż dwóch graczy. Jedną z nich jest Warlords.

Power Play
So schön kann das Ritterleben sein: Die "Warlords" scheinen direkt aus dem persönlichen Lieblings-Fantasyroman entsprungen. Selten zuvor habe ich ein Strategiespiel gesehen, das atmosphärisch soviel zu bieten hat. Die Handlung erschöpft sich eben nicht im dumpfen Verprügeln von gegnerischen Armeen, sondern öffnet eine ganze Welt mit Drachen, Tempelruinen, finsteren Zauberern und den unterschiedlichsten Rassen. Ein besonderes Lob gebührt der ausgeklügelten Schwierigkeitsabstufung: Jeder der acht Gegner kann in einer anderen Stärke antreten. Somit kann jede Spielrunde unter anderen taktischen Voraussetzungen gestartet werden. Auch wenn man schon diverse Male das Land Illuria gerettet hat, wird Warlords, dank dieser Option, nie langweilig.
