The oncoming rush of first person shooters and first generation MMORPGs also didn't help the popularity of the series. īy the time of Warlords III games' releases the real-time strategy game genre was in full-swing, so there was less of a market for turn-based games.

Īnother new feature of the Reign of Heroes is the flexible races concept: every player had a number of pre-defined units he was able to produce, and an additional number of units that could join him. The campaign system also became more advanced: the heroes from the previous game of the campaign followed the user to the new game, keeping their experience and items. Each spell has its price expressed in mana points, which became the second (after gold) resource in game. The heroes acquired the ability to cast spells to receive the temporary benefit.
