Many variables and options to victory [or defeat] - means no two games can be the "same"

Dec. 2024

Warlords is Fantastic and I prefer it to all other strategy games. A perfect balance between game play and graphics, plus you can play up tp 17 AI civilizations, all with customizable strengths. Best of all there is a simplified personal leaderboard so you can continually challenge your previous high score in whatever trait you chose to improve. the combinations of winning scenarios are never-ending. A major busus is there is no requirement for in-app purchases. :)

Classic 4X. I liked the first 3, but this IV was special to me. This game would run constantly on my computer for months at a time while I put in turns as time allowed... the mechanics are much different than V and VI... it could be a good nice spot for those of you looking for "something different" than CIV VI but still familiar enough to evoke the same feels.

March 2024

This is a true "war game". Logistics are key beyond small map. beautiful art work much of which moves. I have been playing Sid Meier's games since 1975. Generally play at least daily. I like IV warlords very much civ II was great but would not play on Win 7... :(

Feb. 2024

A great addon, that brings up six new civilizations (Celts, Vikings, Carthaginians, Zulu, Koreans, and Ottomans), a dozen leaders (including Churchill and Stalin), warlord and vassal mechanics (allows more powerful civilizations to control weaker civilizations), more units, unique buildings for each nation, three wonders of the world, resources, game scenarios, as well as a lot of smaller improvements. As you can guess from the name, Warlords focuses on the military aspects of the game. All its innovations, in one way or another, are designed to diversify the militaristic scenarios. But this leads to the only disadvantage of the addon: already inadequate AI begins to behave even more aggressive, and the system of vassal relations gives an advantage to the most hostile leaders.
