Warlords IV update

After confirming earlier this month that Warlords IV is indeed on schedule to ship later this year, Ubi Soft has released the first new images of the game since last summer. One of the images shows off the new tactical battle system. Whereas previous screenshots indicated that the tactical battles would be seen from an isometric perspective, with ranks of opposing units facing off on a level battlefield, this latest shot is evidence that the battle system is somewhat more abstract and similar to the systems featured in earlier games in the Warlords series. Apparently, the new system shows fighting units from the side, and on either side of the screen there's an interface listing the units in each army.

We'll have more details on Warlords IV soon. For more information, check out our previous coverage.
