The box says it includes the campaigns and scenarios from RotH, so that right there sounds like ADDON to me, not exactly worth a sequel. I prefer some of the military tbs's better but it does benefit from the multiplayer to a degree. It's a decent multiplayer turnbased strategy. In addition it has the old fashioned 'Email' gameplay that isn't seen too much anymore. It supports up to 8 players and has all the standard forms of multiplayer. The campaigns are decent enough to hold your attention but they aren't enough to rivet you there. It's not real easy to decide where you want to do and who you want to do it with. I found mys interest level dropping as the game went along.

If you liked Turn Based Strategy and you liked the first one, it's worth a look. It doesn't seem to move along fast enough when there are a lot of computer opponents. It's turn based, so it's not as quick paced as it could be, but it does move along pretty well.

It had a similar feel on how the game went along, but the two games aren't any closer than that. I found the base for the game to be somewhat similar to Seven Kingdoms. The tutorial mission was good for getting started but it left some of the aspects of the game sketchy since it didn't really instruct you on how some things worked and how they affected the game. You build your units, defend your cities, move out and take more cities. If there's any little bitty thing that can have a menu, it's in here. It's pretty simple to play although there's lots of menus. It's adequate, but doesn't make any strides in adding to the gameplay. It's pretty much generic sound effects, though each unit has different sounds and there's lots of units. It doesn't appear to have many differences in interface or graphics from the original, so don't expect anything new. It looks pretty decent in 1024x768 and runs smoothly. It's somewhat similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic series, but due to the fact that I haven't played HOMM I can't really make any comparisons. You further yourself by capturing cities and building your army while maintaining some diplomacy with your friends, allies, and enemies. No new themes here, just a relatively simple turn based strategy game. The object is pretty simple, be the last man standing. RoH was touted as 'Turn Based Game of the Year' from various magazines and Reb Orb has tried to incorporate users suggestions into a worthy sequel instead of an addon. Darklords Rising picks up after the first and adds more scenarios, more campaigns, new units, and new heroes. Warlords III: Reign of Heroes was a decent game with a large following.
