Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria is a turn-based strategy game developed by Infinite Interactive and released in 2003 for PC. The fourth entry in the long-running Warlords series, it is set in the fantasy world of Etheria, where players command armies and compete for territorial control through tactical combat. The game follows the series' established framework of hex- or tile-based map conquest, combining unit recruitment, resource management, and hero-led armies. Players build forces, capture cities, and engage rival warlords in battles that emphasize positional decision-making and army composition. As part of the Warlords lineage, it retains the classic blend of accessible turn-based mechanics with deeper strategic layering suited to fans of the genre. The title represents a continuation of the fantasy warlord formula that defined the earlier entries in the franchise.
