Fable Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=x_03JQUc9AoMC505: Warlords Battlecry 3Matt Barton2023-05-28 | Warlords started off as a turn-based fantasy strategy game, and the Battlecry series took that concept into the real-time realm. The consensus among fans of the franchise is that the third game is the best, so that's the one I chose to review for the show. It's a challenging game, but well worth learning the ropes for some intense and highly addictive gameplay with incredible depth.
You can buy it on GOG for $9.99. It runs great out of the box, but you may want to fiddle with your resolution if you get a stretched look. It should be a square resolution, not wide. gog.com/en/game/warlords_battlecry_3
