Warlords Battlecry 1 is a Strategyvideo game. Developed and published by Strategic Studies Group, Strategic Simulations. It was released on July 2000 for Windows PC. The game introduced a hero-building system, combining real time strategy elements with roleplaying elements (hero development, stats and skills). This makes the series the first to be called “roleplaying strategy”, a term coined by its creator, Steve Fawkner. There are nine races organized in sets of three.
