Sound Blaster 16 and 100% compatible sound cards

component drivers.
**If you experience problems with the installation or compatibility of
DirectX on your machine, please consult the hardware manufacturers of
your video or sound card. You may also want to check MicrosoftÆs web
page for more information.
2. PERFORMANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
640 x 480 mode is recommended as an expert mode option because of the
smaller viewing area. In addition, there is no hero history in this video
mode making the game even tougher.
Turn off animated water on Pentium 75 and 90 machines. To do so, at the
Game Screen (the screen on which you select sides and set game options)
select Edit Options, then Set Preferences. There is a check box which
allows you to turn off animated water.
3. WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warlords III: Reign of Heroes Demo
Installation Instructions for Windows«

Open. (If your hard drive uses a letter other than C, substitute that
letter for C.) Click the OK button and follow the on-screen instructions
to install the Warlords III Demo.

Programs, and then Red Orb Entertainment. Click the Warlords III Demo
menu item to start the program.

If you need to remove the Warlords III Demo, begin at the Windows 95

4. ABOUT THE DEMO
The Warlords III Demo is included in the Red Orb Entertainment Demo
released at E3.
You will find two scenarios in this demo. Both are limited to single player
play. In the full product you will have the opportunity to play up to seven
human opponents over IPX, TCP/IP over the Internet, and direct serial and
modem connection.
The tutorial scenario provides an introduction to the basic elements of game
play of Warlords III. We recommend that you please take the time to play
through the tutorial. It is very helpful to introduce the product, interface,
and game play elements.
The Elven Guardians scenario is also a great introductory scenario that
provides just enough challenge for both novice and experienced Warlords.
The Elves have an edge. So, if you are new to the game, choose that side
with the beginner option. BorogÆs Tribe in the Psycho mode is at a distinct
disadvantage and should provide a hearty challenge for even the most
experienced Warlord.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: My demo doesnÆt install, what should I do? or, My demo installed but it
doesnÆt work.
A: We plan to release an updated demo in the first week of July on the
Warlords III Web page. The URL is WWW.Warlords3.com. This updated
demo may solve some of your install or demo problems.
Q: When I try to start Warlords III: Reign of Heroes Demo, I receive the
message "Error Initializing Direct Draw" what do I do?
A: It is most likely that you have Windows set to display 16 colors. Reset
your windows display to 256 color mode. It may also be a DirectX
incompatibility, please contact the hardware manufacturer of the video card
you have in your machine. You may also want to check MicrosoftÆs web
site for information.
