So I guess Windows 10 users will experience issues, perhaps even for some time.though on GOG's forums people say that if you set the exe to Windows XP compatibility mode it should work. Maybe it's best for Windows 10 users to still wait before purchasing until Retroism adds Windows 10 to the requirements on the store page. Here is the video game “Warlords III: Darklords Rising”! Released in 1998 on Windows, it's still available and playable with some tinkering. It's a strategy game, set in a fantasy, turn-based, compilation / shovelware, rpg elements and wargame themes. So what happens when hardcore role-playing whimpers out of existence? A steady streak of strategy titles start playing more like RPGs than the actual games bearing that label. The Warlords Battlecry series of real-time games has had a long reputation of providing engaging RTS action mixed with role-playing, and number three continues that trend.

Warlords III: Reign of Heroes was a decent game with a large following. Darklords Rising picks up after the first and adds more scenarios, more campaigns, new units, and new heroes. RoH was touted as 'Turn Based Game of the Year' from various magazines and Reb Orb has tried to incorporate users suggestions into a worthy sequel instead of an addon.
The object is pretty simple, be the last man standing. No new themes here, just a relatively simple turn based strategy game. You further yourself by capturing cities and building your army while maintaining some diplomacy with your friends, allies, and enemies. Your heroes are your key players. They get the items. They get the advancements. They get the nifty spells, attacks, etc. It's somewhat similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic series, but due to the fact that I haven't played HOMM I can't really make any comparisons.
Graphics 12/20
It's 2D just like Reign of Heroes. It looks pretty decent in 1024x768 and runs smoothly. It doesn't appear to have many differences in interface or graphics from the original, so don't expect anything new.
Sound 8/15
Sound is okay. It's pretty much generic sound effects, though each unit has different sounds and there's lots of units. It's adequate, but doesn't make any strides in adding to the gameplay.
Gameplay 19/30
It's pretty simple to play although there's lots of menus. If there's any little bitty thing that can have a menu, it's in here. It's pretty easy to get started in. You build your units, defend your cities, move out and take more cities. The tutorial mission was good for getting started but it left some of the aspects of the game sketchy since it didn't really instruct you on how some things worked and how they affected the game. I found the base for the game to be somewhat similar to Seven Kingdoms. It had a similar feel on how the game went along, but the two games aren't any closer than that. It's turn based, so it's not as quick paced as it could be, but it does move along pretty well. It doesn't seem to move along fast enough when there are a lot of computer opponents.
Fun Factor 12/20
If you liked Turn Based Strategy and you liked the first one, it's worth a look. I found mys interest level dropping as the game went along. It's not real easy to decide where you want to do and who you want to do it with. The campaigns are decent enough to hold your attention but they aren't enough to rivet you there.
Multiplayer 3/5
It supports up to 8 players and has all the standard forms of multiplayer. In addition it has the old fashioned 'Email' gameplay that isn't seen too much anymore. It's a decent multiplayer turnbased strategy. I prefer some of the military tbs's better but it does benefit from the multiplayer to a degree.
Overall Impression 6/10
It's a rehash of Reign of the Heroes. The box says it includes the campaigns and scenarios from RotH, so that right there sounds like ADDON to me, not exactly worth a sequel. It does feature some decent improvements over RotH, so it might be worth it if you liked the original. Otherwise, I really can't say it's a bad tbs, just not anymore than decent. Just wait for HOMM3 if you're hungry for a Medieval style turn baser!

Hi Danix803,
That game that you are trying to play has no information in the compatibility center for Windows 7. As you have already tried the compatibility troubleshooter to install the game, now you may try to install Windows XP mode on your computer and then install the game in Windows XP mode and check if that helps.
Follow the link given below for more information and installation of Windows XP mode
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
Hope this information is helpful.

Just purchased a new system with Windows 7. It's useless. I am shocked and dismayed that Microsoft would market a software that would make vitually all our previously purchased games and other programs non-useable.
Some of these are quite classic titles -- I hope the backlash grows as this bespeaks a certain lack of grounding on microsoft's part.... what did they think people would do???

WBC3 worked great with Windows XP Pro... but, I couldn't get it to work in Vista Ultimate... it is a great shame, because it's a great game...
I would like to get it working in Windows 7... I've tried the compatibility wizard with all it's settings but it won't work... The demo plays... but, the real version won't play... something about it not wanting to run with a debugger loaded into memory...
I appreciate any help that anyone has to offer... בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ Learn JESUS language... byki.com

Hi. The directions here don't work for my MSDNAA Windows 7 Professional 64 bit operating system:
After installing Windows XP mode update (step 3) I follow these instructions and I'm redirected to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx with a pop up that says 'The setup file must be downloaded and installed for this feature to work' When I download the file it tells me 'Update for Windows(KB8977206) is already installed on this computer:
'Once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 Start button , then select All Programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin setup. For information on how to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, check out 'Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC' on the Support and Videos page.'
Feels like running in circles. How do I get this mode working so I can play my game? :)
Much appreciated.

I'm just writing to follow up that I did eventually figure out how to get WindowsXP mode to install on Windows 7, but warlords battlecry III and games in general *do not* work in this virtual environment, given that this mode seems to be intended for legacy business software and the like.
What *did work* was going with an open source option: Virtual Box. After loading windows xp and enabling 3d acceleration in the Virtual Box settings, I'm now able to play Warlords Battle Cry 3 in a virtual Windows XP environment on Windows 7 64-bit.
Hope this helps.

Any chance someone could give me a 'walkthrough' of how to do what you did? I'm no computer genius. I have the same problem - WBC3 won't run on my brand new laptop cos it has Windows 7. I've already downloaded Windows Virtual PC with XP Mode, and also got Virtual Box. But I don't really know where to go from there! Whenever I try I keep getting the same message: FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
Let it just be said that I suck with technical stuff. Please someone help me out! Although, bear with me, because I probably won't understand unless it's a veryin-depth description!
Much appreciated
Andrew

Warlords Battlecry 3 Windows 10 Patch
I recently installed Windows7 on my Mac via Bootcamp, and was excited to find that WBC2 worked fine on my machine. When I tried installing WBC3, however, I ran into similar issues.
Rather than downloading windows XP mode or installing XP on a virtual machine, I found another solution. I ran the Program Compatibility Wizard (accessed through Control Panel > Troubleshooting > Programs) and chose 'Not Listed'. Then choose Browse, and target the autorun file on the WBC3 CD. Hope this is helpful to some of you, I found this to be a more comfortable work-around for now.
I played through the first level of the campaign just to make sure it works. So far, so good.

I'm with McLaren on this one... I'd LOVE a walkthrough...
I've tried using VBOx... I LOVE Virutal Box... but, when I try to install and run WBC3 it objects to the debugger... It says that there is a debugger in the background and it won't work...
How do U get by that???
