Random maps, etc.

Postby Harzenfler » Sat Jun 03, 2023 5:56 pm

Greetings, Warbarons!

New to Warbarons, old to Warlords II Deluxe. A search for Warlords II brought me here.

From what I've seen here, Warbarons does not support much of the one and only way I played Warlords II: Random everything map (water, hills, cities, forest), 1 player vs 7 bots, "I am the Greatest" (with hidden map).

Am I missing something?

Any recommendations for other strategy games that recreate the feel of my old Warlords II setup? Maybe there are Warbarons who have similar preferences in games.

Regards,
H

You are correct, there are no random maps.

It's one of the biggest things Warbarons lacks. Eventually you figure out the best strategy for each map.

The AI here is not really meant to do anything other than practice against so you can learn the game. It's zero challenge. It's all multiplayer games where the real challenge is (2-8).

KGB,

Thanks for the reply! Even in Warlords II the AI doesn't strategize well. But the hidden random map, 7-vs-1, and cheating AI ("I am the Greatest") can lead to some interesting openings and middle games.

Always working toward predictable endgames, with flocks of griffins.

Thanks again,
H
