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 events field 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«
To Install the Program Manually.
After downloading Warlords III: Reign of Heroes Demo, decompress
the setup program. To decompress the setup program double click on
War3Demo.exe. In the War3Demo folder double click on the file
setup.exe to launch the installation application. Click the OK button
and follow the on-screen
instructions to install the Warlords III Demo.
To Play
Begin at the Windows 95 desktop. Click the Start button, point to
Programs, and then Red Orb Entertainment. Click the Warlords III
Demo menu item to start the program.
To Uninstall
If you need to uninstall the Warlords III Demo, begin at the Windows
95 desktop. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then Control
Panel. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Click the
Install/Uninstall tab and select Warlords III Demo from the list of
programs. Click the Add/Remove button and then click the Yes button
to remove the program.
4. ABOUT THE DEMO
The Warlords III Demo will be available via the World Wide Web at
selected locations.
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, as
well as Hotseat 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 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. I am running into problems with graphics, such as
graphic glitches, palette flashes, desktop corruption, or the
game hanging upon exit. How can I fix this?
These are all issues related to DirectX and/or hardware
specific drivers. You should contact your video card
manufacturer and Microsoft for the latest drivers and
compatibility information. Red Orb Entertainment does not
supply drivers or information for hardware.
Q. I receive an error message that tells me, "A required DLL
file, D PlayX.DLL was not found". What does that mean?
Warlords III: Reign of Heroes Demo requires that you have Direct
X 3.0a or higher installed on your system. Please visit the
Microsoft Web site at www.microsoft.com or (http://www.microsoft.com/
msdownload/directx3.htm) to download Direct X3.0a.
