Action Bomb: The Dark Dwarves use this as their standard method of warfare.Later installments of the series added more races (including Chaotic Evil factions like the Plaguelords and Dark Dwarves), the ability to travel around a world map completing story missions and bonus scenarios, a multiplayer mode, new upgrades and a Diplomacy system, which allows players to forge alliances with other factions. In each mission, the hero starts with a small selection of Starting Units and amasses more troops, spells and resources through upgrades, the discovery of special temples (Shrines/Mausoleums) and spellbook. The series was created by Warlords founder Steve Fawkner, and predominately featured a mixture of real-time strategy and roleplaying elements, including a customizable hero leveling system, various factions and races to choose from, a wide variety of missions and scenarios, and various special units that players could add to their retinue. In the two sequels, several races end up forging alliances to stop the Horsemen of the Apocalypse from plunging the world into eternal darkness. The series' plot focused on a continuing struggle between the Civilized (Human, Dwarf, Undead), Barbarian (Orc, Barbarians, Minotaur) and Magical (Dark Elf, Wood Elf, High Elf) races, who are all vying for power. It was released on the PC in two-year intervals: the first launched in 2000, the sequel in 2002, and the final game was released in 2004. Warlords Battlecry is a trilogy of RPG/ Real-Time Strategy games and the Spinoff of the well-known Warlords franchise and published by SSG/Enlight Interactive/ Ubisoft.
