2. PERFORMANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
640x480 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.

Warlords III: Reign of Heroes Demo
Installation Instructions for Windows«

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 only. In the full product you will have the opportunity to play against up to eight 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 gameplay 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 novice and experienced Warlords. The Elves have an edge. So, if you are new to the game, choose that side with the beginner option. BoroqÆs 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 doesnÆt work?
