In the Campaign mode, players will have to make decisions on the battlefield and on the economic front: when and where to build new cities, whether to upgrade existing cities, and when to spend gold on building more armies. Players take control of a hero of Etheria who must protect the land from Aravein's evil hordes while crossing paths with dwarves, elves, orcs, and the undead forces led by Lord Bane. She seeks dark knowledge required to summon powerful daemon lords.

Aravein has sent these evil creatures on a number of quests to plunder libraries and mage towers. A Dark Elven mage Aravein has been summoning lesser daemons into the realm of Etheria and placing them in charge of her orcish minions.

Continuing the series that began in 1989, Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria is a combination of strategy and role-playing.
