I'm a Warlords fan since the very first version on Mac (the PC version is realy hugly). That is back quite some time. I played with passion each new release, except for the Warlord 3 add-on DLR that I acquired just recently (did not finish it yet), and was always hocked to the game. At each iteration, new stuff made the game more enjoyable.
I have downloaded the demo as soon as I could get my hands on it and loved the game (even if there are bunch of missing things!!!). The only map available made it soon boring. I decide therefore to mod my demo. I first started to hack the scenario but the mod was only limited to the quests and some cosmetic. I didn't want to mess around much with the map (but I did mod the map as well) since the full version of the game comes with a map editor.
Changing the quests was not enough, so the warlord was my next target. At best you can go up one level per game. It will take eons to test out all the potential of your warlord. Also your opponent remains a silly warlord. My first job was to reverse engineer the warlord save file. Once I mapped each byte in the file it was easy to mess around with a hex editor. The only problem is that a simple reverse encoding and a check sum protects the file. There are ways to let the game accept your changes and play, but it's a tiresome process.
I decide to write a complete editor for my warlords and for the retinues. And here we are with this release. This version is for both the demo and the full version (patched or not) of the game. This editor is tested for both vesions.
The system requirements for this application are pretty low. If you have the game on your computer then you should be able to run this piece of software. The application is written in Java, you will need to install Java. Some of the code is solely Java 1.4 code, therefore you must have Java 1.4.2 or more installed in order to run it.
For download and installation of the Java runtime please refer to Sun's home page. The java runtime JRE or JDK is not provided with the application and is your responsibility.
Before you run the editor it is wise to make a version test of your Java installation.
To do so, open a shell command line window and type the following:
java -version. Or verify your Java software installation on-line with a check tool.
The output will show you the version you are using. Due to some bugs in some of the Java 1.4 versions, it is required that you have at least version 1.4.2 installed. I do recommend using Java 1.6 since the Look and Feel is much better.
The installation of the editor is straightforward. Unzip the
Warlords4Editor.zip file and put its content into the game folder
(optional, any folder will do). If the editor is installed in the game folder
you can directly access your warlords without configuration. The install bundle
should have 2 files:
Warlords4Editor.jarWarlords4Editor.htmlThe JAR file is the editor and the HTML file is the documentation (this file). To launch the editor there are two ways:
java -jar Warlords4Editor.jar
If you experience an application crash or other problem, the second
method has the advantage of dumping an error message that you can send to me for
debugging. If you don't like the comand line dialog poping up, you can replace the
java with javaw.
During execution, the application will create a configuration file called
Warlords4Editor.ini. Do not edit this file because it is
auto-generated by the application at each run.
The editor can be updated by itself. To launch an update procedure, open the "Help > Online Help > Check for Updates". If a new update is available, the editor will propose to update itself. Follow the procedure on the screen.
There is one restriction to this usage right now: The computer must be connected to Internet :).
Since version 2.10 the editor will update automatically when a new version is detected. Once the editor is started the update check is made. You can deactivate this feature in the Preferences dialog Preferences.
If you cannot run the editor on a specific platform let me know, I will change the editor so that this platform can be used. Also if you have a proxy, some adaptations might be necessary as well.
During the update, the editor creates a temporary folder, call "W4EUpdate",
in the current editor's folder. If this folder remains after the update, then
the update is probably not successful. You can destroy this safely and try
again.
Important: If you have the "Updates Automated" set, the editor will call home at each launch. You will see in your network traffic a call to something like "portailsmm.com". The name might wary since it is a shared IP.
Simply delete all the Warlords4Editor.* files in the directory
where you have installed it. Check your warlords folder in the game folder to
delete the *.bak files (backup files). If a folder called call
"W4EUpdate" is present in your current folder you can delete it as well.
This folder remains after an aborted or unsuccessful attempt to update the editor.
Once you start the application a default new Warlord is created. You may also load an existing warlord or select one in the history list of the file menu.
The GUI is divided into several sections.
Note: Each edition field shows a tool tip info box if you pass over it with the mouse. Entering an invalid value in a field is silently refused.
Some detailed explanation of the main fields of your warlord.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name: | The name of your warlord can take any character is the Latin table. The name is limited to maximum 31 characters. Avoid having an empty name; this may cause strange behavior of the game. |
| Capital: | The name of your warlord's capital. The name is limited to maximum 31 characters. Avoid having an empty or too long name; this may cause strange behavior of the game. |
| Avatar: | The image that will be used in the game dor your warlord. This image must be taken from the available list. Take on of the defined image; it's not possible to customize it. |
| Class: | The class of your warlord. The class will define the look and feel of your capital (what building is available, see city upgrades), and most important the different spells you can learn during the game. See the classes' section for details. |
| Abilities: | Major and minor ability are linked to the class when you create your warlord, however you can have other abilities then the class initially proposes. |
| Skills: | Major and minor skill that your Warlord unit will have during the game. The level of each skill depends on your warlord level, each point is distributed randomly between the skills. |
Note: When you select a class, the major and minor ability will be changed to that class' default abilities regardless of changes made by you.
Some detailed explanation of the statistics fields of your warlord.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Favored Race: | Defines the race of the hirelings when they pop-up, this will only favor a certain race. The race may be totally different from the warlord initial abilities and class. |
| Experience: | Well all the XP you got during the games. Each 10 XP will allow you to level up. |
| Level: | The current level of your warlord. The XP and level are not correlated so you can put a high level with no XP. |
| Battles: | The actual number of games you did with this warlord. |
| Victories: | The number of games you finished victorious. |
Note: The XP is only used when you resign or win a game and gain some XP. If you XP don't match your level, the game will adjust the level based on the new total XP.
The skills are always the same for any warlord. However depending on the class of the warlord only a sub-set is available during leveling. The panel does not sort the skills because they are taken as is from the warlord file.

The game has a total of 32 provinces to win, effectively 32 missions to perform. The provinces are divided into storyline and extra missions. You need to win the storyline to win the game; the extra mission will give you various bonuses such as retinues or boosts but they are optional.
In order to add a retinue to your warlord you must click the active check box in front of the retune name. Then create a retinue with the "Create" button. Once the retinue edition dialog closes the retinue is added to your warlord. You can change this retinue by pressing the "Edit" button.
You can also import an exiting retinue from an external repository.
Use the "Import" button and search for your retinue file.
You may also export a created retinue to your retinue repository, use the
"Export" button for that (this button is only available if a retinue exists).
By default, the retinue repository is created in your game root folder or
in the current folder if the latter isn't defined. This folder is called
Retinues and contains files with the *.rit extension.
The retinue edition dialog is divided into 4 sections:

The game has a fairly complex production time algorithm. For the moment no equation could be extrapolated from the interaction between the warlord's played race and the city race. The tabled below shows the different production times for all cities based on the warlord's played race (title).

Base unit XP amount = {1, 1, 2,
2, 3, 4}. So 1/2 turn and 1 turn
units are worth 1 XP to kill and a hero is worth 4
XP to kill. There is a modifier of +1 added for every level (including L1).
So a tier-3 unit of level 4 will be worth XP = 2 + 3 = 5.
The game then goes thru and counts up the number of killed units and adds the XP based on the above two calculations.
If you are the attacker and you capture a city you get +2 XP.
Not per unit, just +2 XP for the battle. If you are the defender
and you are in a city you get -2 XP. This last part is important
if your facing Weaponmaster warlords. Instead of disbanding scouts you can kill
them on a city knowing they will give 2 XP (1/2 turn and L1) and
take 2 XP away leaving 0 for the enemy.
Then only modifiers are applied, modifers are: Weaponmaster skill and Justice spell.
Then the important part, the hand out of the XP. The XP is divided into two
values the major and minor share. The units is the starting
number of units in the army.
major = max(1, (4*TotalXP)/(units + 3))
minor = max(1, TotalXP/(units + 3))
The surviving unit gets the major share, the rest each get
a minor share. One thing to note: If there is only 1 survivor,
he gets only the major share, not the minor
shares as well. So he gets gyped on some XP. In fact all units that die take a small
portion of the XP pie with them that the rest don't get. So minimizing your
losses maximizes your XP.
If any unit is above L5 the XP award is modified downward as follows:
percentage = max(10, 100 - (unitLevel - 5)*10)
This percentage is then multiplied by the unit share. So a L10 unit gets
(10-5)*10% of the XP, Or 50% of your XP share.
This is why higher level units don't get much XP and after L10 it's almost impossible to go higher unless you kill other L10+ units so that the XP reward is very high.
You kill 4 tier-1 units of level 1 in the open. The XP from that battle is
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8. That gets divided amoung your
survivors, lets say 4 units in the initial army. The unit on the battle field gets
(4*8)/(4 + 3) = 4 (rounded down). The rest gets
8/(4 + 3) = 1 (rounded down).
You kill a L3 fire dragon and a L5 hero in a city. The XP from that battle is
6 (dragon) + 9 (hero) + 2 (city) = 17.
If the same army of 4 is in the battle and they all have a level lower then 5,
then the unit on the battle field gets XP (4*17)/(4 + 3) = 9
(rounded down). The other units gets 17/(4 + 3) = 2
(rounded down).
Since Patch 1.05 the terrain might affect life and combat or abilities
of the units. There are a whole bunch of terrain type, see the in game help
for details. In short, forest is the impassible woods terrain and woods is the
area around the edge of forests where units can travel (generally about 1-2
squares out from a forest) and you often see single/small trees. A chasm is
that area on land that looks like a deep valley that only fliers can cross.
Rock is flat nasty ground that that is not a hill.
Bonus' are given out based on unit type rather than race. A Treant is part of the Elf race but it's not an Elf unit, it's a monster unit. This is basically how slayer skills work where man slayer doesn't function against an Archon. So terrain bonus's are given out based on unit type.

3 types. This is why when you right click
on a unit like a Swordsman you'll see HUMAN, GOOD,
INFANTRY. Hence units will be able to have up to 3
terrain bonus' (good or bad) applied to them.
-1 combat in woods/forest but Elves
get a +2 combat so Elven Cavalry will be +1 combat
while other Cavalry will be -1 combat.
Some abilities are affect by the terrain type. This bonus takes effect regardless of whether it came from a unit/spell/item.

You can modify some parameters that will be remembered at each application launch.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Load / Save | |
| Game Folder: | Path to the folder where the game is installed. If you don't install the editor in the game folder this field is useful. An empty field considers the current install folder as the game folder (default setting). |
| History: | Number of warlord files the application must remember. By default, this is set to 4. |
| Backup Warlord: | When a warlord file is saved, makes a backup of the existing file
if present. The file will be have the same name but with a .bak
extension. (By default, this is not set) |
Updates | |
| Updates Automated: | Automatically checks the server for new versions and start updating. (By default, this is set) |
Proxy | |
| Use Proxy Gate: | Enable the usage of a proxy server for Internet connections. |
| Host: | The DNS name or IP address of the proxy server. |
| Port: | Port number to use. |
Help | |

The preferences are saved into a file called Warlords4Editor.ini
in the same folder as the application. Delete this file to reset the
preferences.
Note: Online help as well as automated updates requires the computer to have Internet access.
Important: If you have the "Updates Automated" set, the editor will call home at each launch. You will see in your network traffic a call to something like "portailsmm.com". The name might wary since it is a shared IP.

To help you select the right class in accordance with your abilities here is a table.
The skills are given according to the class chosen, the abilities are given during the game to your warlord unit. The abilities are given in Major-Minor order
You are not required to select a class that is made for the selected abilities, however you will face the problem that you will only get the spells linked to that class and not to the abilities or skills you choose.
If you want to choose a certain race with the warlord class, here are some combos that turns out to be some of the best combinations. This is not an absolute rule and all combination will play well, it is just that some combos yield more potential.
Combat is a neutral skill; that means it works well with all races. But like anything else there are a few races that especially benefit from it. In order best to worth, these are the races that benefit most from having combat as a major skill (combat as a minor skill is about as close to neutral as you can get). In addition the minor best choice, in order, is proposed.
| Rank | Race | Minor |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Dragons | Nature, Combat |
| 2. | Ogres | Nature, Rune, Combat |
| 3. | Knights | Divine, Combat |
| 4. | Orcs | Necromancy, Summoning, Combat |
| 5. | Deamons | Summoning |
| 6. | Dark Elves | Nature, Summoning, Combat |
| 7. | Empire | Nature, Combat |
| 8. | Undead | Necromancy, Summoning, Combat |
| 9. | Elves | Divine, Nature, Combat |
| 10. | Dwarves | Rune, Divine, Combat |
For specialty casters these are the ones for each races:
The hit chance is calculated by subtracting the defenders combat score from the attacker's combat score.

Each retune you create will come back to the game at a certain turn. The level of the unit and the type level define the return turn. The level of the unit depends on what you choose as retinue, the higher level you boosted your unit the longer it will take to get it back. The unit type level is given in the manual. A hero is considered a level 4 unit type.
Turn of arrival := (Level + 1)/2 + Unit Type level Note: The division is an integer division without rest.
For example with a Hero (of any race) the return turn would be:
| Level | Turn | Level | Turn | Level | Turn | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1th | 5 | 11th | 10 | 21th | 15 | ||
| 2th | 5 | 12th | 10 | 22th | 15 | ||
| 3th | 6 | 13th | 11 | 23th | 16 | ||
| 4th | 6 | 14th | 11 | 24th | 16 | ||
| 5th | 7 | 15th | 12 | 25th | 17 | ||
| 6th | 7 | 16th | 12 | 26th | 17 | ||
| 7th | 8 | 17th | 13 | 27th | 18 | ||
| 8th | 8 | 18th | 13 | 28th | 18 | ||
| 9th | 9 | 19th | 14 | 29th | 19 | ||
| 10th | 9 | 20th | 14 | 30th | 19 |
By experience the best is to have a retinue with a low level to get it back faster.

You always wondered how your Warlord is rewarded for playing a game. Well this should help you understand. The first thing you must know is that the game will not give any experience if you finish before turn 10. So the start-resign trick to get experience won't work at all.
| Knight | Prince | King | Emperor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base: | 4 | |||
| Win: | 4 | |||
| Per Ally: | 0.5 | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 |
| Per defeated enemy: | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 |
For example if you are allied with one AI and you kill off 3 enemy AI's all on Knight level you'd get the following experience:
XP = 4 (Base) + 4 (Win) -
0.5 (1 AI ally) + 1.5 (3 AI enemies) = 9
For those that are interested in making warlords and retinues that matches
the game specification, a content creation wizard exists. This wizard follows
the rules setup for each unit and warlord. You can only make a 100% game
compliant edition. To create a warlord and retinues with the wizard select the
"File > Creation Wizard..." or hit the <Ctrl + W>
key. Once the warlord created, save it by the traditional way.
The editor can import and export warlords from and to play by e-mail packed warlords. Create your warlord and directly bundle it (export it) into a PBEM format. In the same way, import a PBEM warlord and edit it.
Use the import and export menus from the "File > [Import|Export]
PBEM Warlord..." menu in the menu bar or hit the <Ctrl +
I> and <Ctrl + E> respectively.
The editor can import warlords from pre-made packed warlords. Create your
warlord based on an existing one. Use the import menu from the
"File > Import Pre-made Warlord..." menu in the menu bar or hit
the <Ctrl + Alt + I> key.
Note: For integrity reasons, the export function for pre-made warlords is not available.
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IMAGEHLP.DLL, if such a problem occurs you will find
a file like hs_err_pidXXXXXXX.log in the editor's root directory.
Only known alternative, update to Windows 2000 or more.
