==Gameplay==
Warlords is a strategy flash game in which the player’s main objective is to get as many of their soldiers across the battlefield and into the enemy’s side of the map without them being killed. They must also prevent enemy soldiers from reaching their side of the map by sending out soldiers to stop them. In each battle, soldiers can be trained and spawned on eight lines that go across the map in a horizontal fashion. Each time one of the player’s soldiers successfully reaches enemy territory, the territory bar at the top of the screen will fill up more with the player’s races colour and when it is fully their colour, the player will win the battle.
The main game mode in Warlords is the single player campaign, in which the player must pick a race that they want to play as and lead to conquer the land, one region at a time. They will earn money from killing enemy soldiers and winning battle which they can spend on upgrades and new unit types.
The Demon Race cannot be obtained at the start of the game. You must beat the campaign with any race to obtain the demon race.
== Races==
Each Race is different, with their own stat increases and stat decreases. Each Race is better at something than others, so it's up to you to decide what you want to specialize in and what to sacrifice.

==Race Units==
There are tons of different races in the game, each with one unique unit, and tons of other units to choose from and buy. Some Unique Units are weaker than others, and some are stronger.

== Trivia ==
* Both the Night Elves Halberdier and Mounted Halberdier units have Moon shaped ends to their halberds.
* The King's Guard can kill a swordsman in one hit with sword stat upgraded by two 
* There's a strategy called the Halberdier and Spearman strategy in which you place 8 halberdiers in one lane and then put 8 spearman in the same lane. It works well because if the halberdiers get knocked back, they will group up and do immense damage simultaneously, while the spearman can catch up and go in front to absorb damage for the halberdiers.
* The Night Elves and Wood Elves have the same upsides and downsides, except the Night Elves benefit more from archery and lose more in sword combat.
