Warlords Battlecry, often abbreviated as WBC is a series of real time strategy games created by Steve Fawkner, also creator and designer of the award-winning Warlords game series. There are currently three Warlords Battlecry games: * Warlords Battlecry (1999) * Warlords Battlecry II (2002) * Warlords Battlecry III (2004) The games feature a hero building system which preceded Warcraft III's own one and combine real time strategy elements with roleplaying elements (hero development, stats and skills), thus making its creator labelling the series as "roleplaying strategy" games.
