More experience results in higher levels, up to a maximum of level 5 (except in Warlords IV) increasing the unit's combat abilities and movement per level.

My approach to combat would be to deploy an a full stack (8 units) against an enemy stack….and hope for the best.Warlords is a video game series created by Steve Fawkner, in which role-playing elements are combined with turn-based strategy in a fantasy setting. Your units can be stacked up to eight on a single tile and occasionally powerful heroes may make themselves available for hire. How you go about playing the game would be to conquer cities, amass large armies by producing units in those cities and then sending them to destroy the enemy. The game features the pixelated retro graphics of the old game, as well as the music so fans of the old game are in for a treat here. For the latter you can actually set the difficulty level for each of them but trust me, even at the lowest setting, it’s almost akin to playing against a bunch of chess masters. You get a pretty faithful port in Warlords Classic HD, and being a turn-based game, you can take on 7 other opponents which can be a mix of human or A.I. Just to give you an idea of how old this title is, I actually remember playing Warlords IV in 2003! Warlords Classic HD is a 21st century port by ALSEDI Group of the original Warlords turn-based strategy game created by Steven Fawkner and published by SSG back in 1989. There’s a new game that I’m addicted to on the iPad but you’ll be surprised that it’s actually a port of a really really old game.
