We strongly recommend you to read it through carefully to refresh your memories and know about a few differences between this version and original game. --------------------------- FAQ: Q: How do I save or load the game? A: Warlords Classic saves the current game automatically on start and end of turn, before and after the battle, on ruin search etc… So, you cannot use “save-load magic”. This is what we call “fair play”. Q: “Hero Quests” features? A: Since Warlords Classic is a Warlords 1 port and quests featurs was introduced in Warlords II, they are not implemented in our version. We are not yet sure if we will ever implement them. Sorry. Q: Any other differences from the game I love for tenth of years? A: Yes, only a few. We have replaced libraries with tombs; you will always find money in tombs, and your hero will never die searching tombs. ## Key features - Official PC/Amiga port - Old-school graphics and maps - Multiple factions to choose - Conquer cities to win - Build and train armies - Multiplayer via Game Center - In-app map purchases ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $4.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Hero and random ally in random city | $1.99 | one-time | | Hero in specified city | $1.99 | one-time | | Hero and random ally in specified city | $2.99 | one-time | | Hero and 2 Dragons in specified city | $4.99 | one-time | | Fopruedor map | $2.99 | one-time | | Ubria map | $2.99 | one-time | | The Maze map | $2.99 | one-time | | Costa Calma map | $2.99 | one-time | | Europe map | $2.99 | one-time | | America map | $2.99 | one-time | | Seven Kingdoms map | $2.99 | one-time | | Hero and 2 Wizards | $3.99 | one-time | | Maps pack up to #31 | $39.99 | one-time | | Shaiff & Skana map | $2.99 | one-time | | Rotrington map | $2.99 | one-time | | Bero-Bria-Brui map | $2.99 | one-time | | Eswium map | $2.99 | one-time | | Eneiroth map | $2.99 | one-time | | Aquaria map | $2.99 | one-time | | 50000 gp coins | $24.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Warlords Classic Strategy?

Great to have it back - great port ### 5/5 — Bug in newest version *2026-06-05, version 8.64* You can’t purchase the newest map. ### 1/5 — Maps *2026-03-27, version 9.63* The Apple page says that you can purchase the first 31 maps as a set. This option does not exist in the app, so you can’t make the purchase ### 5/5 — OG GAMING *2026-02-17, version 9.62* Old school ### 1/5 — It is a scam *2026-01-28, version 8.61* I purchased the game years ago. I got my friends to purchase it. It had several fun free maps. Then when you update after it removes them and now says that you have to pay for the maps you had before the update. Everyone needs to change their rating for this game if the rated it from before this scam! ### 1/5 — It is a scam *2025-11-27, version 8.61* I purchased the game years ago. I got my friends to purchase it. It had several fun free maps. Then when you update after it removes them and now says that you have to pay for the maps you had before the update. Everyone needs to change their rating for this game if the rated it from before this scam! ### 2/5 — Premium price with in app purchases? *2025-11-27, version 8.61* I don’t get it, I have paid 7.99 Canadian dollars for the game but once in the game each map is 3.99 to unlock? I mean there are 58 maps to buy that’s over 230 dollars???? The game is cool but that’s a lot to ask for an oldie, especially when it is available as abandonware. ### 5/5 — I have been waiting 31 years. *2025-10-05, version 8.61* Its great. Please add the rest of the features from warlords II deluxe and exp pack. Most importantly, I want to be able to buy new production units for cities like the old game. And i miss the exp pack skins. And then let me just buy it all at once rather than using in-app purchases… ### 1/5 — Very Glitchy *2025-10-04, version 8.61* Groups come apart randomly when attacking. Doesn’t show other teams turns. Etc. ### 4/5 — Classic turn-based fantasy wargame *2025-08-18, version 8.59* This is an old DOS game from the 90s, updated with minor changes for the iPhone. You fight with stacks of troops, with combat modifiers for terrain, flying units, special (magical) units, and heroes. Captured cities generate income, which you spend to recruit and maintain different troops, so you have to choose the right troops, manage your money and logistics of troop movements, and plan your strategy and tactics while battling AI and/or other players. Heroes can also explore ruins to randomly get more gold, recruit magical troops, or get magic items for combat bonuses. The game auto saves as you go, which makes it a challenge, but you can undo every action since your last combat. I think it’s a great game, but there are two fixes that would really improve it. 1) In the original game, the AI would surrender if you have more than 40 cities, and they have 16 cities less than you. I’ve never had an AI surrender in this version, and it’s a bit tedious to play the game to the bitter end to get the victory, so I just quit when it’s obvious I’m going to win. So they really need the surrender feature in this version. 2) There’s no option to delete saved games. This one should be a pretty easy fix, and frankly, it’s a basic feature that any app with saved games should have. ## Frequently asked questions about Warlords Classic Strategy ### What is Warlords Classic Strategy?
