Warlords call to arms 25/17/2023 The next reset, called Epic Edition, was released in August 2006. The limited format was introduced in an attempt to bring more balance to the environment. Warlord's first reset was near the beginning of 2004, and was called Campaign Edition. The company also offered a prize to the individual that submitted the greatest number of ideas to be printed on published cards. The company also asked a number of "well-known industry personalities" to design a card, including Peter Adkison, Ryan Dancey, Tracy Hickman, and Margaret Weis. Among the people designing a card would be: the winners of Warlord tournaments at the 2002 Origins Game Fair and the 2002 Gen Con Game Fair and the staff at InQuest Gamer magazine, which would include a copy of the card as a magazine insert in early 2003. In 2002, Alderac Entertainment Group announced that "fans and industry professionals would design a set named Call to Arms of at least 300 cards to be released in February 2003. Furthermore, characters themselves are often used as "resources" to perform certain actions in the game. In order to balance the gameplay, instead of separate "resources" being required, the game relies on its "Rank and File" system, using character level and location to determine whether items of a given level may be equipped, character level and class to determine whether a given action may be performed, and the number of "ranks" present in the player's formation to determine whether a given character can be brought in to play. Warlord differs from many other Collectible/Customizable card games in that, in gameplay, there is no specific "resource" required to bring cards into the playing field. Warlord was permanently discontinued by AEG and Phoenix Interactive in early 2012, approximately one decade after its initial release. Originally intended as an easy-to-learn second game for players already familiar with d20 fantasy role-playing games, Warlord is often marketed with the tagline, "The game you already know how to play". Warlord is based on the Rank & File system which in turn borrows basic elements from the d20 system. The game is unrelated to an earlier, similarly named CCG, Warlords. The longer official name is almost always shortened to Warlord and the subtitle "Saga of the Storm" is often used informally to refer to the original base set of cards. In place of AEG, German company Phoenix Interactive has licensed the rights to produce the game and printed their first set, Fourth Edition, in July 2008. It was produced by Alderac Entertainment Group since its introduction in April 2001 until January 2008, when they announced they were ceasing its production. Warlord: Saga of the Storm is a collectible card game designed by Kevin Millard and David Williams.
