Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth the price
Review: What a waste. I really liked the previous Warlords products and played them all. I was expecting some great things from this version. Especially when I found that it would not work properly because it required DX9. Wow! DX9! It must have some spectacular effects. So I upgraded my graphics card (since my old one didn't support DX9) and finally installed the game. Ho hum. Graphics were dull in most parts. Nothing really exciting about them. Nothing to warrent getting a new graphics card for, that's for sure.

Game play is simplistic. Not much thought or strategy involved. Run around the map and destroy the enemy. Got my Heroes way up there in points. Not too hard to do.

Tried the multiplayer stuff. Sad. Here's a great Friday night: gather your friends into your computer room and have them bring their copies of WL4. Install it on all your systems then sit around and WAIT for each person to play their turn! Can you believe that? Sit there and watch the little time bar go across your screen waiting for "player 1" to finish his turn. Wow. Underwhelming, to say the least.

I sent email to UbiSoft asking if there was something about multiplayer I was missing in the woefully un-helpful doc. Never got a reply. Would like to get a refund though.
