Hey guys, posting because i've extensively googled my problem and i can't find a solution that applies to me ANYWHERE :( :(
Note: My computer is Windows 7, i7 -860, 6144MB DDR3, NVIDIA GT230 graphics card (sh!t i know, i mean to do some upgrades very soon but money money money)
Recently i had a bit of nostalgia and decided to download Warlords 3: Reign of Heroes.. So, after having installation issues with the .exe file, i had to replace the .exe file with a 32bit installer, and it installed
Now, i used Daemon Tools to mount the ISO file, and the game opened right away.. I was happily playing away, until a few minutes into the game, the game just froze, the video was still fine (not sure about audio, i have music disabled), but game doesn't respond in any way (cursor doesn't move, etc), and the only way to shut down the program is to CTRL + Delete and shut down the 'not responding' program
I tried putting /WINCURSOR on the end of the target in a shortcut (and using that shortcut to open the program), i tried ALL the compatibility modes, i tried running it in 252 colours (idk why hahaha), and i even tried extracting and burning the ISO onto a disk and shut down Daemon Tools so it didn't use my memory, but it's still freezing a couple minutes into my game
HELP PLEASE, i really want to play this game!! :(
Thank you all very much for your time

P.s. sorry for making this so long, i thought to give as much information as possible

With pirate versions, all bets are off. For instance, is your game up to date to the latest version?

http://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4757

"Reign of Heroes" seemed to get two patches, 1.01 and 1.02, but I am unsure if they will work straight with the "downloaded" version.

I have the retail version of <span class="bold">Warlords III: Darklords Rising</span> which is apparently an improved version of <span class="bold">Reign of Heroes</span>, but I haven't yet tried to play it on Windows 7. "Darklords Rising" also got an update, 1.02. Not sure if it is the same as for "Reign of Heroes".

Tried to patch, but the annoying message of "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your etc etc etc".. So the patch installer is in 16 bit (or 8 bit i can't recall) form and won't run :\
Realized the download i did originally came with a patch file, but the same problem
I may try downloading 'Darklords Rising', since according to google a lot of the bugs were fixed in it, and is overall a better game

EDIT: have installed Darklords Rising (patched version) from The Last Citadel's website, used the -wincursor in the target and am using Windows 7 compatibility and it's working perfectly! Sorry for the waste of time

Btw. Why are the Warlords games missing, yet the Battlecry ones are here?
