Even W III DLR, doesn't play exactly on WIN 10 like it does on my WIN XP laptop using the original CD. One thing I noticed, you don't see some of the special effects like for a example when the elf archers shoot their arrows on the enemy the actuall arrows hitting the enemy effect in the battle screen does not appear on the GOG WIN 10 version. You should report this bug. GOG support and patch their releases usually.	Warlords 1-3 on GOG. ... Category: General Discussion	Posted 2 years, 6 months ago by M0d3M

	Re: Warlords 1-3 on GOG.com I tested Darklords Rising. I crashed several times, but after playing with settings in dxcfg.exe it stopped crashing. Basically this release uses GOG.com DirectX wrapper (similar to DxWnd). It means that "-wincur" is no longer needed (like with DxWnd). And it has soundtrack! It plays natively without the original CD.	Warlords 1-3 on GOG. ... Category: General Discussion	Posted 2 years, 7 months ago by M0d3M

	Re: Installing Warlords 3 on W ... Well.. I don't force you to download my crap. But I made it myself and it actually works. It works (the archive that you can find above. It's hosted on my server) for the UK version. In order to make it work for the US version, just change paths in Setup.ini according to the paths on your CD. I have both versions of RoH and the paths to some files are slightly different.	Installing Warlords ... Category: Technical support	Posted 3 years, 1 month ago by M0d3M
	Re: The Mystery of Warlords 3 ... It doesn't matter until the current IP holder decides that it actually matters. Btw. Who is going to sue me for uploading my own builds of Warlords 3 and Warlords 4 to my server? Who holds all the IP rights at the moment?	The Mystery of Warlo ...

	Re: The Mystery of Warlords 3 ... So.. I scanned the manual several months ago, but I didn't have time to make a proper pdf ebook. But iy turned out that I don't need to do that. Out of curiosity (after reading SkeleTony's post here) I download Old-games.com's version on the game and you know what? They actually scanned and OCRed the user manual and bundled it with the game. It looks like they are actually cool dudes. They are pirates, of course, but they put effort into making their builds. They make sure that their games run on modern PCs and pack them with goodies. I uploaded it to my server. Here it is: sombre-sleep.com/warlords/files/warlords...ds_Rising_Manual.pdf	The Mystery of Warlo ... Category: General	Posted 3 years, 4 months ago by M0d3M
	Re: Installing Warlords 3 on W ... "Darklords Rising" is perfectly playable on Windows 10 with "-wincursor". I just checked it. But you might want to use DxWnd for better experience (DxWnd discussion) "Reign of Heroes" 1.02 is also perfectly playable with WxWnd and "-wincursor". I just managed to install it from the original CD as well (and patch it too). At this moment both Warlords 3 games are 100% playable on Windows 10.	Installing Warlords ...

	Re: Installing Warlords 3 on W ... Ok. Attachments don't work. Here it is: sombre-sleep.com/warlords/files/warlords..._Win10_Installer.zip How to do it yourself: 1. Get InstalShield 3 engine from somewhere (setup32.exe) 2. Copy _SETUP.dll _SETUP32.lib, SETUP.INS and SETUP.INI from the CD. 3. Open SETUP.ini and replace all instances of "=$Install_FromRoot$" and "=.." with "=YOUR CD DRIVE LETTER:"	Installing Warlords ... Category: Technical support	Posted 3 years, 4 months ago by M0d3M
	Installing Warlords 3 on Windo ... I just managed to install Warlords 3: Darklords Rising from my original UK CD (more info about it). I have attached an archive with all necessary files (InstalShield 3 engine, setup files, modified SETUP.INI file and a small readme file that can help you if something will go wrong). If your CD drive E: then just extract files from the archive and run setup32.exe. If it's not "E:" then open SETUP.INI and replace all instances of "E:" with "YOUR DRIVE LETTER:". I will try doing the same for ROH later.	Installing Warlords ... Category: Technical support	Posted 3 years, 4 months ago by M0d3M

	Re: Warlords map editors 1) Monica Map is a 404 error Fixed. 2) England, Europe, Greece, Rome and USA maps aren't in archive format Jeez, Tim. I thought you are old enough to remember ARJ. I don't want to repack them because they were packed by the original authors like... 25 years ago. Preserving history. Just right click on the link and select "save as". It works in Firefox. I don't know anything about chrome though (because it's terrible).	Warlords map editors Category: Warlords	Posted 3 years, 10 months ago by M0d3M

I'm working on my site, but slowly. I'll upload the editors somewhere during this week. Or I can send them to you by e-mail if you want.

	Re: W3 DLR Official Strategy G ... Actually, Darklord's Lair isn't completely dead (since I am not dead). It's been a pretty busy year for me. I was finishing my Ph.D. and just didn't have much time for Warlords. I always had plans to resurrect it in some form and finally, I have time for it .	W3 DLR Official Stra ...

He started making games in late 70's when he was a high school math teacher. More and more it seems to me that mobile is where casual / semi serious games (Game of War type thing) are going and the PC will be limited to VR or MMO / FPS games that require a ton of graphics / CPU horsepower. Strategy games are not going anywhere. I mostly play Paradox games now (Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2). And Paradox is doing pretty good. And crowdfunded RPGs like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity TOS are very popular. PC gaming is still very much alive and diverse (thanks to indie developers).	Interesting tibit ab ...

How much do you think Steve is going to want to do another game at that age or how much will the old Warlords fans even want one then? People who are in their late 50's rarely do a labor of love game Hey! For example, Roger Keating is making a new wargame with SSG (actually with Gregor Whiley, because currently there is no one else in SSG) for Matrix Games. And he said two years ago that they have ideas for three more games. Here what he also said: "The one thing about being a game designer is the need to keep making the damn things. We still have a board game that is finished and one of these days I would love to release it. It is a delightful family game based on Warlords. "	Interesting tibit ab ...
