The following problems have been observed in the Warlords Battlecry III Demo:

Q. When I change my sound settings I get a horrible ringing noise, how do I stop it?

A. You should alter the game's shortcut as follows:
a) Right Click on the game's shortcut icon on your desktop
b) Select "Properties" from the menu
c) In the "Target" field, add " NOMUSIC" (don't forget the space at the start)
d) Click "Okay"

Q. I want to backup my heroes... where is my hero data stored?

A. All heroes are stored in "My DocumentsWarlords Battlecry III
DemoHeroData.xcr"

Q. I want to reinstall the game, but I don't want to lose my heroes. What do I
do?

A. Uninstall the old game first. It is always better to install fresh,
rather than over a previous version. Then all you need do is install the new
game - your heroes will still be there.
Pursuant with the new standards set by Windows XP, all data is stored in a
subdirectory of the "My Documents" folder, so it is not affected by installing
the game.

Q. Why can't I build buildings on the far left side of the map?

A. The game was designed to have a visual boundary on the left side. This is
not a bug.

Q. My main Keep is destroyed and I destroy one of my own resource points;
this results in my resources being reset to below a 1000 resources. What's
happening?

A. Do not destroy your own resource point if you have just lost your main building or this may result in some resource loss.

Q. My demo heroes will not work when I copy them across to the full game. Why?

A. Sorry. Heroes from the demo are incompatible with the full release of Warlords Battlecry III.
