Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria Q&A

RPGVault has conducted a brief Q&A with several members of the Warlords IV development team at Infinite Interactive. Check it out:

Q: Of the 10 races that are available in Warlords IV, what a couple you’d list as your personal favorites, and why?

Steve Fawkner, Lead Designer: Because (naturally) I have played quite a bit of Warlords IV during development, I have found myself enjoying two of the sides that are trickiest to play, Undead and Dark Elves.

Undead are my favorite at the moment. I really like gathering groups of Skeletons and Undead Riders, then slaughtering the good races with my Smite Evil and Manslayer abilities. I also like to try and get an Undead Dragon, which I generally keep out of combat until assured of victory, since its Curse skill is effective even when he is not fighting, and if I can get him to level 3 or higher, then his Curse skill will be maxed out at +5.

Of course, Undead have a little trouble when fighting the evil races, and sometimes I feel that the Dark Elves can be a little easier against such sides. Individually, Dark Elf units are not very strong, and they have to rely very heavily on getting troops from allied races (races that are close to them on the Race Wheel), but their closest allies (Undead and Daemons) provide them with all sorts of variety.
