Play Warlords II Online
You pick a fantasy faction and slowly uncover the map, watching enemy armies move in the fog of war—that moment when you catch their dragon riders out of position still hits just right. The mods got weird in the best way, like undead dwarves clanking into battle against orcs with steam engines.
Warlords II came out in 1993 for MS-DOS, developed by Strategic Studies Group. It was part of that wave of turn-based strategy games that really dug into the details, where you managed more than just armies on a map. It didn't have flashy graphics, but it had a solid, thoughtful design that fit right in with the PC gaming of that era.
You control a fantasy faction, building cities, recruiting armies, and exploring a map shrouded in fog of war. The main goal is to conquer all enemy strongholds and become the supreme warlord. Key mechanics include moving hero-led stacks of units across a hex-based map, engaging in tactical combat resolved on a separate screen, and using magical artifacts to turn the tide. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, with the AI posing a consistent and clever threat. It feels like a long, satisfying chess match set in a world of swords and sorcery.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
