The first in the Warlords series. Basically, your mission is world domination. This may be played between up to 8 people all on the same machine. It is a medieval type strategy game that requires the player to control 80 cities in the realm of Illuria. In order to do so you must wipe out your 7 opponents.
Gold is accrued through the ownership of cities. The gold is then used to create armies. Heroes can sometimes "find" things or be rewarded by sages (there are only 2 and it's a first come first served basis). You can choose between various human and non-human peoples, as well as the ubiquitous evil Warlord. This is a very early version of what strategy games eventually became.

I played it. Thrilled to see it out and about so I can relive a bit of nostalgia.

this is where it all began for me. Turn-based strategy game of conquest. Items can power up your heroes. Chose the units you build and create an army.

Chase your rival lords to the corners of the map and show no quarter!
