I am running DOSBox and D-Fend v2. I downloaded Romance of the Three Kingdoms II (It's actually I). I got it to run just fine but it comes up in black and white. I have tried a bunch on different graphics options in D-Fend but it still comes up B&W. The screenshots on the site are in color and I have played the game in color in the past. I also run an old DOS game (Lords of Conquest) that runs in color just fine using D-Fend and DOSBox.

Any ideas on how to get some color? THANKS!

The other option for the game to be in color is to run it in EGA mode. Unfortunately, DosBox doesn't support this useful mode, so all you can do is run the game in Tandy colors - black & white. Which you seem to do, too.
If you run the game in pure Dos or under Windows 98 then you'll get the EGA colors.

In Dos, try to type it's in the following way:
sangoku.com and add the following options after the program name: /h or /? or -h or -? so it looks like this:
sangoku.com /?
Or try the same with main.exe
Maybe there are options that are able to be set for the game before starting, and that might be what you need to set the EGA mode for the game.
