Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
I don't know if it is just me, but I am finding striking resemblances between Erfworld and the 'Warlords' series of games, produced in the nineties by Australian gaming company SSG (Strategic Studies Group).
Even down to the 8-stacking army groups.
Anyone else notice the resemblance?Spong.

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
8-size stacks aren't exaclty anything revolutionary. Off the top of my head, the Age of Wonders series also uses them.
The other similarities, however, are pretty... eerie? Is that the right word?Last edited by Athanatos; 2007-04-19 at 11:28 PM.
Check out my first creation, the Wrathling. Look at it, comment on it, help balance it, vote for it. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
I believe an Erfworld mod was being made for one of the Warlords games. Not sure what happened to it....

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
Found out why it couldn't be found.
It's based on Battle for Wesnoth, not a Warlords game.
Was fairly easy to find, since it happened very early on in this forum, and the forum itself has only 7 pages of threads. (For shame, Erfworld fans!)
Battle for Erfworld
Unfortunately, the idea aborted itself.Belkar's Bad to the Bone.

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
Hmmm, at first I thought you were talking about the Warlord card game.

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
I think it was the same way for Chronopia if I'm not mistaken (now a long dead tabletop strategy game that was billed as an inexpensive alternative to Warhammer... beautiful pieces for 1/5 the price of Warhammer, but I digress... and lament... ;) ). Anyways, I think their units grouped in up to 8 if I'm not mistaken. It might have been 4 though... it's been so long since I've played it.

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
I think the point is that Erfworld resembles fantasy strategy games in general, because there's A LOT of them out there. There's bound to be resemblances to a lot of them.
One could argue that it resembles Master Of Magic, if one was inclined...

I love trying to find similarities to Erfworld and Warlords (I've only played Warlords 3:DLR)

Re: Erfworld resembles 'Warlords' the game....
Warlords 2 Deluxe edition was the best, although the first Warlords game holds a very special place in my heart as the first strategy game I ever played AND understood at the same time
