Fortunately, there is a very strong multiplayer section of the game. Playing against the AI has limited fun factor, and pitting your wit and tactical savvy against that of another is what most strategy gamers crave.
Speaking of multiplayer, we all know that the multiplay aspect is really what strategy gaming is about. The exportable hero is something which was sorely needed before. And afterwards, you can win some excellent items and play your hero in multiplayer battles with your friends. It?s like playing a whole bunch of skirmish games, but with a goal in mind.
The story in “WBC2” focuses on an integral part of the strategy game idea-straight combat. While a land controlled by Orcs would not be a pleasant place to live for Elves, a land run by Humans would probably bear some resemblance to feudal society.īefore I venture too much into the political realm, though, let me say that this campaign is much better than the storyline campaign featured in the original “Battlecry”. It is unclear as to whether genocide or merely political dominance is the goal, but by implication one must assume that it depends on the race. Instead, the campaign involves you choosing a race and commanding its armies. Unlike the original “Battlecry”, however, “WBC2” doesn?t have a scripted campaign with a human hero. The game carries over several of its predecessor?s excellent features-stunning graphics, a rousing musical score, and dynamic hero stat management. This is all part of the trend towards more realistic gaming. There are, however, enough role-playing elements to make it a strategy/RPG mix rather than a straight strategy game. With the original WBC, SSG took its turn-based Warlords series of games and made a real-time strategy game out of it.
An excellent example of this is "Warlords Battlecry 2". As technology and games have evolved, however, sometimes genres will blend and merge. It was easy to classify a game as a certain genre. Remember the “olden days” of computer gaming? Everything was easily categorized.
