LEGEND.... I LOVE THIS GAME. I have a tiny little statue that I used to hold for good luck whilst playing it on my mac (no it wasn't to stop the computer crashing) I stopped playing the game cos I chewed the top of the statue and the varnished made me ill and I didn't want to play without it.
THANK YOU

The best of all the Warlord serie! (The 4th being the crapiest).
I remember the days and nights played with friends or my sister. The first one was a real blast when it was released, but had only one map. So the second with random maps, scenarii and such!!!
I'd lost my copy of the game, so I'm glad you found it for me.

The best hot seater in the entire known universe. I played it for years with three friends, we called ourselves The Circle and met once a week to battle. The best gaming days I can remember. The subsequent warlords games were crap though.
Thanx a zillion for the game !

Me again. I downloaded the game and it works just fine. Ah ! The memories when I hear "Greetings warlord". Now, a couple of years after releasing this game, SSG released a Deluxe edition which contained a scenario editor and lots of new armies. That was way cool. You could design your own armies and terrain types for the maps (like caves or lava). I don't wanna ask for the moon, but if you guys could upload it... I would go to nearest shrine and bless you !!!

I downloaded this and it works in xp but no music, even after settup of soundcard, but has voice. In both VDM and Dosbox I also get just a picture of a head and it don't go away, and no pointer. But I do get the music this way. How can I solve this? I REALLY want to play with the music. Help please. This is the best strategy game site on the web. Surely someone can solve this problem who is more of a computer wiz than I.

:ok: Well, I have come up with a solution to the no curser, face won't go away problem that is a sure winner. It is to play WARLORDS IV 4 Heroes Of Etheria instead! A far better game than 2 and it has gone back to it's turn based roots from Real Time. I purchased a NEW copy on Ebay for under $9:00 and $5:00 shipping and handling. It is done in oldstyle 2D graphics yet! Hope this idea helps someone. Yeah, I know still can't play 2 but sometimes it's best to take the easy way out. IN SPITE OF THE OCCASIONAL GLITCH IN GAME PLAY THIS SITE STILL HAS THE BEST DOWNLOADS ON THE WEB! I NEVER WOULD HAVE FOUND WARLORDS IV 4 Heroes Of Etheria IF NOT FOR TRYING TO RUN 2.

Excuse me, but I see you guys talking about downloading Warlords II from here, but on the review I only see a link to Buy It, and it takes me to the pocket PC version. Where exactly do I download the old DOS version? I actually was looking in my basement for this game, and only found Disk 2 (the game had two 3.5 inch disks) so then I looked online and came upon this site. Any help?

I used to have Warlords, (the original one), a while ago (from gamebird). It's an awesome game, though of course less developed than Warlords II. I got Warlords II a while ago as well, certainly better in most points, but I missed the map in Warlords I. Most of II's maps are almost completely islands, but the game's okay. II has got great music, too.
hehehe
29-12-2005, 07:33 PM
hey guys, warlords II was also one of my favourite games over years... but on abandonia i cannot find the download nowhere, only a demo version for the pocket pc game...
i just want to enjoy the game again, can someone help me?
hehehe
04-01-2006, 08:47 PM
Strange... the last two posts where deleted... why? forbidden to post links in this forum?
well i got the link to an existing download for warlords 2 for PC, not pocket pc, on some foreign site (poland or bulgaria, or hungary? forgot it...). here on abandonia we can only get the pocket pc version, which is not only commercial, but also unusable with a normal desktop pc.
does anybody know where to get additional warlords 2 scenarios and the v1.11 patch? they should be available for free, but i cannot find the...
i would want these for additional maps to crush my enemies into the ground... hehehe!

We were requested by the producer to remove the game from a free download, as they are remaking it and selling it. (It is bad business for them if everyone already got the game for free, strangely enough.)
That means that, yes it is illegal to link to downloads of this game.
Yea i remember when i was 7 i would own my brother in a rotation of Heroes 2, warlords 2, and we would compete for the highest score. wow those were the days.
the AI is too dum to play against so do any of you happen to be in the DC area?

If you wan't to buy it, I would recommend Warlords III instead (not Warlords IV!) - it's the same game - improved graphichs (though not very much, and they still stay true to the original(s)), some very shallow RPG-elements, and Warlords all the way :ok:

I HATE Warlords 3. Because there's a very little types of units that you can have(4 or 5) .
And there's a big disbalance between Dark and Light forces: A SuperMegaMighty Dark lords produces in 3 turns but a weak little knight with 3 hobbits produces in 4-5 turns.
This make impossible to win the game on the last stage.
And 1 thing I hate a lot : When you capture an enemy city it turns all units that can be produced into your race.
I hate that there's no cool allies.
No cool items. :((

Yes . it was in 1998 when i bought this disk. Warlords 3 "Reign of Heroes" AND THERE'S NO HEROES IN THE GAME!!!(sorry . there's only 1 hero, but he is you, sitting in front of your monitor) I will post a photo of this disk later 11 hours after time of this post.
Yes you enemies have a different units but you cannot build their units. You cannot build a production of new units.
only 4: kakapult,heavy infantry, cavalry,knight (may be i forgot 1 or 2 weak units.).
The rest units is available to your enemies. 10 races each have 5 or 6 units.
In Warlord 2 when you capture a city you can build almost every unit in the game. In Warlord 3 you can build only those 5 or 6 units of your race. I understand that this is reasonable that light forces will not build zombies or necromancers but this makes the game boring.
again:
Last stage in the caverns
Darks have 3 cities each producing 1 dark lord for each 3 turns.
Lights have also 3 cities each producing 1 knight for each 5 turns.
each darklord equal or stronger then knight.
after 15 turns they have a 5 darklords and you have a 3 knights. Obviously you lost.
So when I recently saw a disk with Warlords 4. I feel sick :vomit:

Well you must've got the game wrong or something there are 5-6 hero types (at least), and in scenario you can build your own sides, and you can choose between at least 50-60 different units, however darklords rising (expansion) offers much more...

Warlords II, this has always been one of my favorites. Man, we spent countless nights on hot-seat battles with this game :)
There was a new version, Warlords II Deluxe, which featured improved graphics (256-color), a level- and campaign editor, as well as lots of new tilesets and maps.
However, the music was not as good as the original music. Too "soft".
Anyone knows if there's a wy to combine the good graphics of Warlords II Deluxe with the great adlib (XMidi-) music from the "normal" version?
That would be the perfect Warlords II experience IMHO...

Hello Dark Star - I am running Warlords II on Windows XP via the magic of DOS - the game runs perfect EXCEPT I don't get the wonderful music you are talking about. Do you know how to make this work? I do get the speach and sound effects which are very cool, and I am waiting to get blown away by the music!

I'm just using the regular way to access DOS in XP. Should I be using DosBox?

22-06-2007, 03:19 PM
I've now upgraded to version 1.11 and changed the settings to: SB16.COM SC32MPU.ADV 1 by choosing Roland Sound Canvas in INSTALL.EXE.
The music is great!!! Are there just two songs? I heard one in setup and one in gameplay.

Either that or VDMSound (which might be a better in the circumstances). Windows XP' emulation of DOS leaves a lot to be desired - and problems with sound or music (or, more often, both) are not uncommon.
I wasn't sure which option to select to match my laptop which is a SONY VAIO PCG-TR3[/b]
Configure the game to use Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220. Those are the default values for sound emulation both in DOSBox and VDMSound.

Thanks for that everything works fine now.
I'm curious about Signposts in this game. There is a command Signpost x which is inactive while I was playing. When does this become active and what does it do? I read somewhere that you can change the text in the signposts during gameplay - I suspect that might be in the delux version? Anyway, just getting curious about some trivia.

Thanks veru much, yes that's correct, you need to stand on the signpost before you use the command.
Also, the game selects a random song to play, and a new song is randomly selected at the start of each turn, the songs are usually not repeated. The music is high quality and enjoyable!

Warlords 2 works just fine under DOSBox - I believe it's either the fault of the specific port of DOSBox for your platform or just your hardware can't handle it.

Used to play the first one with one of my mates ALL the time.
We absolutely loved it, but thought there were a few improvements that could be made.
Lo, and Behold! Warlords II came out and had 'stolen' ALL our ideas!!!
And Then some!!!!
The game is just awesome! Definitely, the best strategy game I have ever played!!!

When I start a scenario, half of the special places (not the stonehenge ones, the other type) instantly disappear from the map. I have no idea what the reason is. Can anyone help?

If you still have issues you might be interested in the web-based remake of the game we are working on.
We will include new features like allied-gameplay with shared vision, as well as ladder.

No one has answered my question yet. How do I order my army to explore ruins? I go over it with my army/hero, and they just stand there. :mhh:

If I remember right your army can't, you need a hero to explore them.

After the hero (best if backed up by an army, too) enters the ruins, you need to order him/her to explore (the keyboard shortcut is Z if I'm not mistaken). Note that ruins can only be explored once, so if an enemy player explored the ruins before you, you won't be able to explore it again (you can right-click on the ruins to see if they were explored or not).

At our bring warlords to the web project, we have now opened for beta2.
A bunch of bugs and new functionality is there since beta1 :-)
You can host or join games as you like at: www.warlordsplayonline.com
Any feedback is appreciated!
One thing that always eluded me: what is the "enhance mode" available in options for players (both human/AI)? In Deluxe version it's even selectable on the scenario setup screen.

Enhanced Players have all their newly produced armies given a +2 Strenght Bonus.
You can check that by giving yourself the [x]enhanced option and then look at the armies you produce.
Note: The option only changes the strength of newly produced armies, not already existing ones. So if you "enhance" a warlord right from the start, he has always stronger units, if you enhance him via the "settings" menue at a later point, he produces stronger units from this point on and if you take the "enhance" away, he produces normal units from that point on.
A game against enhanced warlords can be quite challenging, especially if one of them gets really strong right from the start.
The most challenging option however is the "I am the Greatest" Checkbox, if you select it, after a few turns all NPC Players will declare war on you. Should they be enhanced and you are not, it is impossible to win since they just overrun you with sheer masses.
Have fun!

Hello…
I love Warlords 2 and my small kid also likes the strategy, but you know kids "I don't like the graphics" :lame:, so, I'm looking for a game that is like Warlords 2 but with the graphics of today.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

What he really likes is controlling armies, "Heroes" is just a group, right?

Umm... Warlords 2? Armies? Do you remember how exactly this armies looks? Reminder:

Actually, HoMM can have more units per hero, as they accumulated in one slot. In WL2 every unit is just that. No grouping, no accumulating, no too-big armies.

What I mean is to have the means to control lots of units, in Warlords 2 we can control a lot of individual units, that form an army.

Been playing WL2 for years since I found out about doxbox.
Only problem I ever had with the game is that unit limit is set for 999 and that usually becomes a problem when I play vs 7 coms "I am the greatest" and enhance the coms ingame.
Anyone know how to increase max units beyond 999?
