Strategy First and Empire Interactive are pleased to announce that their exciting RTS Warrior Kings: Battles has shipped to retail stores across North America! “Warrior Kings: Battles is an Epic real-time strategy game,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing at Strategy First. “With superior AI and all new multiplayer modes, WKB is a must-have for all RTS fans. Warrior Kings: Battles maintains all of the excitement that made Warrior Kings a leader in the RTS genre. It’s a stand-alone title that adds a new strategic and tactical dimension to the series.

Warrior Kings: Battles comes complete with a full skirmish mode, boasting a proficiency of computer AI not yet seen in an RTS product. AI Generals build a functioning economy, offensive/defensive armies, correctly control formations, and intelligently probe your defenses, looking for your weak points. AI Diplomacy, a major new feature, makes you think you are playing a human opponent(s), giving a new depth to single and multiplayer Internet gaming.

For those who like an epic RTS, Warrior Kings: Battles has a large strategic Campaign that allows the player to battle through the land of Orbis choosing their own path and defeating a variety of AI generals along the way. Players have to conquer new territories, increase the size of their armies, and gain new technologies before finally capturing the fortress-like city of Telemagna.

In addition a new multiplayer battle mode allows players to choose their own armies, and fight them against any combination of human or AI opponents. Unit limits and time limits can be set to give the player full control over the length of game played, as well as Capture the Flag and other fast pace action modes.
