This guide offers a comprehensive overview of Warlords Battlecry and includes the following:

* Detailed help on "The Tears of Dawn" campaign and the individual scenarios in WB. Each campaign episode and scenario has its own chapter, complete with itemized maps, plot summary, and strategy discussion.

* A look at the nine races in WB and their units and buildings.

* Discussion of hero development, including skills, abilities, quests, and items.

* Base building and resource management tips for WB's skirmish mode.

* Multiplayer tips.

Unlike most guides, this one does not merely rehash the manual, so I recommend it to any fan of the game, especially those who want help with the campaign.

NB: The guide is actually a hefty 443 pages, not 340 as listed on the page.

If you have the manual coming with the CD this book is practically useless except for the maps and some minor stuff. Want some really interesting data? Better download the unofficial WBC tome of knowledge from whe web.

A few of the details in this book are plain wrong as it was published too clse to the game publish date and the game has been rebalanced since. All hint books these days suffer from this though, it's not a good situation, and most of the information in these books should be in the manuals!
