I use VDMSound with XP and it works fine.
Do someone have the manual for this game? After playing it a few times my experience became frustrating at best. I am very good at the management part of the game but I can't help but get trashed as soon as I get attacked. A castle only slightly reduce the number of casualties...
If only they would be slowed down by walls and such... But they seems to be able to walk over water and climb walls like proffessionals...
