We strongly recommend you to read it through carefully to refresh your memories and know about a few differences between this version and original game. --------------------------- FAQ: Q: How do I save or load the game? A: Warlords Classic saves the current game automatically on start and end of turn, before and after the battle, on ruin search etc… So, you cannot use “save-load magic”. This is what we call “fair play”. Q: “Hero Quests” features? A: Since Warlords Classic is a Warlords 1 port and quests featurs was introduced in Warlords II, they are not implemented in our version. We are not yet sure if we will ever implement them. Sorry. Q: Any other differences from the game I love for tenth of years? A: Yes, only a few. We have replaced libraries with tombs; you will always find money in tombs, and your hero will never die searching tombs.
