System requirments are the minimum level of hardware and software a player should have to expect a decent playing experience. Listing these requirements is an industry standard, but 'decent' playing experience varies wildly. All the Warcraft games have varying levels of system requirements, but most of them run on both Microsoft Windows based PCs and Mac OS X based1 Macintosh computers.
Warlords is computer wargame released in 1990, and the first release in the Warlords video game series. It was created by Steve Fawkner and was developed by Strategic Studies Group (SSG).
Gameplay[edit]
Warlords featured eight different clans battling for the control of the mythical land of Illuria: Sirians, Storm Giants, Grey Dwarves, Orcs of Kor, Elvallie, Horse Lords, Selentines, and Lord Bane. Each clan could either be controlled by the computer or by a human player, allowing up to eight participants taking turns in hot seat play. Gameplay consisted of moving units, attacking opponent units or cities, adjusting production in cities, and moving hero units to explore ruins, temples, libraries, and to discover allies, relics, and other items. The goal of the game was to conquer the land of Illuria by capturing or razing at least two thirds of the cities in the land.[1]
