About Warlords II

Warlords II is a turn-based strategy game presented in two dimensions within a fantasy setting. Players assume the role of a commander representing one of several distinct races, such as the Kingdoms' people, Dark Elves, or Ussyrian Orcs.

Gameplay revolves around territorial expansion, beginning with control of a single city. Capturing additional cities, whether neutral or held by enemies, is necessary to produce military units, a process which itself consumes multiple turns. These units are combined into armies, represented by a single map icon, for movement and combat.

Strategic movement is influenced by unit composition, as an army's speed is limited by its slowest member. All combat encounters are resolved through automated calculations, with no direct player intervention during battles.
