Warlords Battlecry III Preview

GameSpot has put together a preview of Warlords Battlecry III, the upcoming turn-based strategy game (with a little role-playing) from Infinite Interactive. An excerpt:

The developers are sticking with a 2D graphics engine, but they have improved the look and feel of the game. The terrain looks more natural, especially when compared to the art style of Warlords Battlecry II, which some found to be a bit bland. Trees, in particular, look more organic and much less cartoonlike. Buildings have also been improved with more detail and more character. The units themselves have been fleshed out better and feature improved animation, even though some seem to have been transplanted directly from Warlords IV. However, you can also expect to see a number of new monsters, including dinosaurs–you’ll probably be at least a bit surprised the first time you see a Tyrannosaurus rex chewing on one of your guard towers. The campaign map is also better designed so that it’s easier to read and seems a bit more like a board game.
