Alliances, treaties, defense against invaders and the no odd looking women wearing armor that clearly doesn't fit nor suit them and this game would be more epic than what it is now :D 5 *s five stars indeed this game!
I'd enjoy this game more if the troops didn't look so fugly. I enjoy the first game's troop feature. They could've just upgraded the look of the game and the troops rather than out right change it. Why change something good? Back to Warlords 1 I go...
One thing I love is that every race has their own specific shock troops like the Orcs have their Axemen variations and the Undead have the Flailers and the Men of the West have the Javelinmen aka skirmishers/Peltists for all those history buffs. Then you have some who have "Elite/Royal" Guard type of troops like the Human Alliance's King's Guards, Night Elves' Whirlers, Wood Elves' Rangers, Demons' Spearmasters....and then you have dudes that have like WTF units which no surprise the Trolls and their Giants.
