Ain't got no time to watch goblins chop wood.Warlords Battlecry II is a real-time strategy and role-playing game, developed by Strategic Studies Group (SSG) as the sequel to Warlords Battlecry.

Kind of like what I've found with the mods available for Shadowrun-Dragonfall.īut yeah, no base building. MYTH was released with an open engine for modding, and the MYTH 2 Gold edition (or whatever they called it) came with some of the best mods ready to play, and having just gone back and checked, I'm astounded at how large some of them are in comparison to the base game. So it didn't have the deeply layered strategy of say, Sins of a Solar Empire or even C & C, but you could jump right in and there were always multiple solutions to winning, or at least surviving, any given level. You had your straggling, harried troops, you had your level objectives, and the enemy was out there somewhere in great numbers closing in. Cel-animated cartoon cutscenes, a darker storyline than Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time yet not as rapey as Game of Thrones (actually, the storyline was fairly transparently lifted from Glen Cook's 'Godfather of all Grimdark Genre' novels about the Black Company).īut what I loved most about it (aside from the Grenadier Dwarves who, it should be noted, care not for aiming their grenades and are not a reliable troop) was that there was NO BASE BUILDING.

Grendel: The most worthy RTS for a resurrection slot would have to be Bungie's two MYTH: THE FALLEN LORDS games. Something like Anno where you can win by diplomacy or by brute force. we're getting a new film soon, so why not? I've dabbled, but I think I would get the most out of a modern RTS. Army Men could use a comeback, but there are some other more modern titles in the same vein. But I'd love to see the C&C:Generals series revisited. Spvtnik1: C&C is getting their comeback, and I'm thrilled. The concept is so cool, and given todays technology, a new entry would be amazing. Neogunhero: A friend and I have always thought that a new Age of Mythology game would be awesome. Battlecry 3 came out in 2004 and the series hasn't been heard from since, but I'd love for it to get one more shot. It really felt like having a badass RPG character at the forefront of your force. Other RTS games came around to similar ideas, but the Battlecry games did it right first time. In the early 2000s they gave birth to a real-time spinoff called Warlords Battlecry, which focused on heroes with RPG leveling and stats as the leaders of your armies.

Jody Macgregor: Warlords was a classic series of turn-based strategy games that dated back to 1990.
