It is time! After years of development we finally release version 0.9. Download: www.moddb.com/games/the-protectors/downloads/tpe-beta-v09-full Steam (requires WBC3 vanilla on Steam): store.steampowered.com/app/2420170/Warlords_Battlecry_The_Protectors_of_Etheria/ Donations: www.paypal.com/paypalme/TPCtreasury Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
I have downloaded it recently, ut just after a miutre of palying geame was crashing, I tried few times, and finally I decided to give up, but I gave it one last chance and click rigch button on launching icon and chose "properties", then "compatibility", and then "run in compatibility mode", I changed from "Windows XP" to "Windows 7" and It solved the problem. So if anyone tells you about this problem, tell him to try this.
@@mariuszgaaj2814 Thanks for the good advice, I will try it with win7 optimization. However, what is still not clear to me is that the choice of resolution has any significance in terms of the stability of the game?
What an amazing improvement over the last patch, which was already an absolute improvement. I can't even describe how impressed I am with the entire team that created this patch. What a labor! I'll be donating here in a few hours. Very well done!! Many thanks!
Yeah this game has something that just stays with u forever,i played it since when i was like 9,now i am 30 and i just can't forget about it ever,i play it every now and then and i enjoy it all the time it simply never gets boring! Wish we had some remake of it or something...love it more than any other game i've ever played belive it or not! :)
Best RPG-RTS hybrid I ever played, and y'all are doing a wonderful job of bringing it back to life! It doesn't just feel like a simple WBC3 overhaul. It feels like a painstakingly crafted sequel to a forgotten game series. The sheer dedication you all show towards making it work is just impressive! Most mods this ambitious for any game tend to choke and die halfway through development. You have nothing but this random stranger's respect for going as far as you have already. From an old WBC3 fanboy, thank you so much for reviving my childhood!
This. This is what gaming is supposedto be. Innovation. This is what AAA games have lost. Creativity and dedication from actual gamers who care, and who aren't greedy. Thanks Protectors team, you deserve recognition.
I can feel the pure passion & love while you explain the changes from the Warlords franchise. HUGE amount of work for 10 years from talented and passionated people AND free ? Amazing !
Recently I tried out 0.8.9 and I was positively surprised with all changes that you've made. Now I've watched what we can expect from 0.9 - definietly I will give this version of Protectors a try :)
It is great to see that a lot of feature we talk about has been implemented. I am curious thought that 1. How assassination works 2. How Retinue units get extra abilities and stats.
For me it's also the best game of this type, it's a shame the project fell through. They could make it something like League of Legends (I'm talking about competitions with other people, e.g. 3 vs 3), I think it would be a hit.
@@plincz9279 Yeah, the engine itself was outdated when you look at many other RTS games arround 2003-2005, with few freeze bugs when the game had to handle big army or high hero lvl. But on the other hand, WBC3 has some features and lore that many other strategy games lack a lot. Your idea is interesting, since we have a lot units on its own kind.
@@plincz9279 There is RTS called StormGate in development by ex-Blizzard employees sponsored by Epic that actually wanna focus mainly on 3 vs 3 and they wanna game to have some sorts of hero system too. Though so far there is not much known how it's going on as not much was released so far, game gonna have closed beta these year and probably release in the next one.
@@andrzejnadgirl2029 We'll see what happens. I'm only interested in a game with mechanics similar to WBC where you focus on economy and military. I've never played a better game of this type than WBC, it would be enough to improve the graphics and optimization so that you can normally play with other players on the official servers without any complications. Then we would have quite an interesting game, for me such a game would be better than most current PvP games on the market, including LOL and others.
So many new features that i would never imagined this would be possible in the core of WBC3. I remember i had many issues when the hero would get hundreds of lvls. The game simple could not handle it and a lot of bugs would happen. There was this map, called Dark Ranger, that had multiple creatures to spawn in middle and be shoot down by towers, to give you fast exp, but i remember i managed to get a hero til lvl 180 just playing skirmish games, so painful and yet gratiful. I hope now those stuff can no longer happen. I really wish to see the full build in 1.0 and give it a good try.
Looking forward to the release. I've been checking the site almost daily and just yesterday was thinking that it's been over two years since the last update, and suddenly there's 0.9 rundown.
I am extremely grateful for your work, I really love this game, I had it since the first one came out and I spent hours and hours of infinite fun, when I was barely 10 years old, you don't know how happy it makes me that you continue working on these projects and defend them giving them many updates and above all that care and affection that you can see that they have put into it, for me it is the best strategy game that exists in all senses, they do not know how I would like it to be widely played throughout the world and for all people to see the true work of art that it is.
Can't wait for this, been playing WBC 1-3 off and on as well as The Protectors (for where I probably now put most hours into). I have the most respect for your team for this creation and I will always recommend The Protectors for those RTS players looking for something unique with clear passion put into it, it's WBC4 in all but name and you guys deserve as much attention and respect for this project.
I will download it. I am only at the 10th minute but everything you said makes sense. I really hated that different factions required different types of resources. You needed to memorize that as well. Good job.
Wonderful and great update video. Mod team! I am excited to see the changes and play them out very soon. Calling all Warlords! We march to war again! For 0.9.0!
Wouldn't have expected such a big overhaul, and the reasoning behind the choices is very well explained. Some fairly big youtubers like SsethTzeentach or MandaloreGaming would love this game if it was brought to their attention, I think. Are there plans to publish this as a free game on something like Steam or the Epic Store, especially once it reaches 1.0? Such an amazing free project really deserves more visibility and popularity. Oh and a small suggestion: It should be made easier to use custom hero portraits, like with an ingame interface or at least a "Portraits" folder that the game automatically checks, similar to the "Scenario" folder.
It's surprising that official developer cannot do anything like a remaster or whatever. Even Battle Realms get a remaster and Age of Wonders after a long hiatus is again still going. Protectors pretty much done everything on it's own. Not sure if current developer has much to say though, as they are acquired by a new publisher and are still pumping out these Puzzle Quest games or whatever.
@@masterexploder9668 Someone official has signed off on this, or the mod wouldn't be allowed to exist as a standalone basically including the base game.
This is so exciting :D !!!! The Protectors has honestly become my favorite RTS/RPG over the last several years, I'm so glad to see it alive and growing still
Oh and mermaids ! I remember a question in the character creation system asking about whether you'd recruit mermaids, that'd be neat for sea combat :) !
Yoooo, I'm so thrilled right now! I can't believe how many cool changes this game is gonna get! I can't wait to try it all out and play wbc2 campaign 😍🤤. Thanks everyone for all the great work!
This game basically made me learn english, back then, with the first instance, which i feel sad for not still having the box. Its amazing to find people who still love it makes me think im no the only crazy guy out there.
Not sure how I feel about combat changes, it felt rewarding to have high combat stat and avoid all damage from low skilled units. On top of that- magic is more potent now.. Well, will check it out anyways when release :)
I used to play TP a long time ago and the thing that annoyed me the most was the question of the game constantly crashing game when I was play with my mates. Has it been fixed ? How is multiplayer at the moment? Because it's the most important thing for me to play against other people, not the computer.
Not gonna lie, that looks great af. I am really hyped. WBC2 was my all time favorite RTS. The only thing I don't like from that is the " No spellcast failure". Spell failure was a great unique mechanic and removing it is a mistake to my eyes. It was bringing the "realistic" feeling to it, like missing the target with your fireball because you had to dodge the hit from the enemy.
This is just my first review of TPC because I just recently DL it (0.8.9), and playing the Knights. - Given you fix the units spawn in the Eerie's by replacing the Pegasus to Griffin, you didn't fix some faction of it. Also return the Earie as a tier 3 because it feature as uniqueness in the "human" races in the OG game. - Why you replace the resources need in the Smithy as Stone and Crystals, are you out of your mind. Please return it as a default and have it as a tier 2 unit building in correspond to the Stable. - And why the Tier 1 Knight in the Stable need a Smithy. What will you do if players only have Stables in their arsenals then they won't make any out of it, please fix that. - Why Archers are tier 2 unit and Eerie's already available in tier 1, are you worried about the Deamon Imp's then have the Archery as tier 1 building that need Barracks/Garrison because having Archers early can dispose those flying units easily instead of Eagles. Also flyers doesn't need early in the game because it destroy land unit scouting. - Why Vunerabilities and Weaknesses removed, it feature simplicity especially for first timer players. - I think the Knights should use the WB1 buildings instead of WB3 because the third installment looks more arabian instead of medieval knights. So maybe you can create a fourth human race that uses those buildings featuring Chariots as their unique race and inspired the Borderlands continent as a Kingdom or Imperium. This is just my own review and opinion. Next gonna play the Empire. 0:49
@@biondu8699 It's possible to change everything back to using WBC2 models, textures and sounds, though it would be a mountain of work for whoever's brave enough to pick that up.
hoping for myny days of funing from looking what new more old textures and fixing all buges scenarios that me and maynbe others tryed to play unfortunely game crashes on some places
Hi there this RTS franchise is in my top 10 best games of all time list. Please confirm when 0.9 will be available to the public, currently only able to update as far as 0.89B and please fix the menu and UI not working when playing at ultra wide resolutions.

LAN multiplayer has been extremely unstable in .89, are you guys doing anything to improve that? Love this game, but I hate that multiplayer is so shoddy.
That is great to hear! Warlords Battlecry is the best fantasy RTS ever IMO. I am so glad you are giving it the attention it deserves. Can't wait to play it again with my friends.
this wow if you know warlords battle cry youll fall in love with the protectors i want to play this with some of my friends from why back think they will love this but how can i lan this over the internet ?
If the base radius stays even after the town center is destroyed, does that mean that you can never build in places where there was once an enemy base?
Hello there, can anyone tell me how resources work in this version of the game? My gold mine was depleted, yet my crystal mine, stone mine and metal mine all said they had 5k+ gold but i was getting like 1 gold every 2 seconds with all mines with 6/6 workers, was i for some reason not getting the gold on those mines? I couldn't train any troops at all very very very slow.
I know that you do this job with great care, but I have to be honest that it doesn't seem right to me for any reason that you put restrictions on things that never had them in this case with the conversion... (It is something that has always been there since the first game and eliminating it is something very bad for me). Before it was with the distance between towers and now the conversion, you realized that it was not a good idea and it did not work, because restrictions never work, also another fatal restriction is not being able to build near the enemy's perimeter, I repeat, that It's a very bad idea, don't ADD RESTRICTIONS.
Regarding conversion specifically, it's automatic, as in units only need to be within the vicinity of a building to convert it instead of the converter being required to dedicate itself to the task, thereby becoming unable to perform any other task during that time. I would've thought that automatic, 'undedicated' conversion could be considered to be the removal of a restriction. Regarding base building, I can't say exactly what will happen with it, but nothing has been ruled in or out so this may or may not change (and could be subject to further developments or changes in future patches, whether that means keeping it or removing it). We may also introduce an option to enable/disable the feature. I can't make any promises, but if we do end up keeping it, we'll certainly make a video about it and offer the explanation behind our decision.
You can find very recent videos of playtesters, so short answers is yes, other than that, after missing a deadline a few months back the developers seem to not want to make more promises, best we can hope for is sometime this year, maybe as a christmas present :)
i installed the 0.8.9 beta which is the last version. but can't see my old hero on the original battlecry verion in this game ? how to get my old hero in the game?
ive been trying for afew months to get the protectors on my pc but no matter what i do i cant get it to run even after following the guide, and since the original wbc3 game has decided to shit on my fun and is now having non stop unplayable problems, would it be possible to do an updated install guide?
For now, you just need to install latest FULL version (0.8.9 FULL) then apply patches a and b consecutively. As the mod is stand alone, you do not need the original WBC3 game installed. If you do have another version of WBC3 installed, then make sure TPC is installed into a different directory. Installing TPC inside an existing WBC3 directory will cause problems. In addition to that, each full version of TPC needs to be installed fresh, as in any earlier versions need to be removed from your computer first. This includes the The Protectors folder found in My Documents. Version 0.9 will be a FULL version fortunately, so installation will be easier.
Lot of changes but will we be able to lvl up heroes during battles like in wb3 not only after battle? If yes how would it work with handicapping system?
We want to finish the other aspects of the game before finalizing the main campaign. I recommend playing the Warlords Battlecry 1 custom chapter or the WBC2 and 3 custom campaigns in the mean time.
RNG based combat is reason I prefer this to games like Starcraft. I absolutely hate the removal of misses and deathblows. I wish there was option to turn on/off misses and deathblows, that way everybody is happy.
It is time! After years of development we finally release version 0.9.

If the base radius stays even after the town center is destroyed, does that mean that you can never build in places where there was once an enemy base?
Once an enemy player is defeated, you'll be able to build in their base.
Hello there, can anyone tell me how resources work in this version of the game? My gold mine was depleted, yet my crystal mine, stone mine and metal mine all said they had 5k+ gold but i was getting like 1 gold every 2 seconds with all mines with 6/6 workers, was i for some reason not getting the gold on those mines?
I couldn't train any troops at all very very very slow.
ждемс
Anyone know if there is a mod for Warlords 4 also? heroes of etheria?? I need that game
Will the AI "Magic Ramped" be in there? That was the BEST mod for WB3 ever!
From version 0.9 you can combine magic auto casts with ANY attitude, including rampant.
Are navy units part of the game now?
Yes.
I know that you do this job with great care, but I have to be honest that it doesn't seem right to me for any reason that you put restrictions on things that never had them in this case with the conversion... (It is something that has always been there since the first game and eliminating it is something very bad for me).
Before it was with the distance between towers and now the conversion, you realized that it was not a good idea and it did not work, because restrictions never work, also another fatal restriction is not being able to build near the enemy's perimeter, I repeat, that It's a very bad idea, don't ADD RESTRICTIONS.
Regarding conversion specifically, it's automatic, as in units only need to be within the vicinity of a building to convert it instead of the converter being required to dedicate itself to the task, thereby becoming unable to perform any other task during that time. I would've thought that automatic, 'undedicated' conversion could be considered to be the removal of a restriction.
Regarding base building, I can't say exactly what will happen with it, but nothing has been ruled in or out so this may or may not change (and could be subject to further developments or changes in future patches, whether that means keeping it or removing it). We may also introduce an option to enable/disable the feature. I can't make any promises, but if we do end up keeping it, we'll certainly make a video about it and offer the explanation behind our decision.
when is it released? any dates more or less? or exactly
We will announce a release date soon!
Awesome, is this out now?
How do I disable those red lines that appear around certain regions?
In the options you can disable cover display when hovering over it.
guys can you please make this game with addon available on the Geforce Now?
Когда, скажите примерно. Устал каждый день обновлять страницу:)
i commented on the video and after googling a little about, it makes me wonder, is this still going?
You can find very recent videos of playtesters, so short answers is yes, other than that, after missing a deadline a few months back the developers seem to not want to make more promises, best we can hope for is sometime this year, maybe as a christmas present :)
i installed the 0.8.9 beta which is the last version. but can't see my old hero on the original battlecry verion in this game ? how to get my old hero in the game?
WBC3 and 0.8.8 Protectors heroes aren't compatible with 0.8.9. From 0.8.9 onwards, heroes will be supported for all future versions.
ive been trying for afew months to get the protectors on my pc but no matter what i do i cant get it to run even after following the guide, and since the original wbc3 game has decided to shit on my fun and is now having non stop unplayable problems, would it be possible to do an updated install guide?
For now, you just need to install latest FULL version (0.8.9 FULL) then apply patches a and b consecutively. As the mod is stand alone, you do not need the original WBC3 game installed. If you do have another version of WBC3 installed, then make sure TPC is installed into a different directory. Installing TPC inside an existing WBC3 directory will cause problems. In addition to that, each full version of TPC needs to be installed fresh, as in any earlier versions need to be removed from your computer first. This includes the The Protectors folder found in My Documents.
Version 0.9 will be a FULL version fortunately, so installation will be easier.
Lot of changes but will we be able to lvl up heroes during battles like in wb3 not only after battle? If yes how would it work with handicapping system?
There are currently no plans to reimplement hero level ups mid-battle.
I am confused....where is the 0.9 patch? This video is 5 months old, and only 0.8.9 patch is available? I don't understand.
This is a preview video. 0.9 isn't out yet, but it will be out soon.
@@joethebartender1013 oh ok.
Main campaign is incomplete, we have only three places where we can go. Why?
We want to finish the other aspects of the game before finalizing the main campaign. I recommend playing the Warlords Battlecry 1 custom chapter or the WBC2 and 3 custom campaigns in the mean time.
I only see downloads for 0.8.9 , is 0.9 already released?
It's not out yet, but will likely be released before the end of the year.
RNG based combat is reason I prefer this to games like Starcraft. I absolutely hate the removal of misses and deathblows. I wish there was option to turn on/off misses and deathblows, that way everybody is happy.
Will 8.9 characters and saved games still work with 9.0, or will we need to restart again?
0.8.9 characters are compatible with 0.9. Saved games are incompatible.
Not out yet>?
Not yet, but I expect it will be out before the end of the year.
When and where can we download version 0.9?
We will announce a release date soon!
