We would like to recommend you unofficial patch. You can download it here:

It will fix most common WBC 3 bug.
Enjoy :)
Hi Coala,
Make sure you make this a support article, just in case. And thanks for the info.
I add to the card sentence "This game has been patched to the latest version 1.03.24".
That means that we've got official approval for this patch :)
Now, the game you can download from "my account" page is patched latest patch version with all bugs fixed and you don't have to do nothing except play :)
I hope that's a good news :)
Excellent news. Thank you!
Awesome! Another reason why GOG is so much better than Impulse or D2D! : D
I was reading on the Impulse site forums for this game that it does not play on Vista properly. Some spells cannot be cast and chests only give you an Elven Ring of Greed instead of properly generating random rewards.
http://forums.impulsedriven.com/336418
is the thread.
Has GOG solved this? I'm on Vista 64-bit and am interested in the game, but only if it works on my system of course. Admins at Impulse have started noting on the game's sale page, they say, that Vista is not a supported OS for the game.
GOG fixes the games so they work properly on XP and Vista. And this very thread is about a patch that fixes the ring problem and probably whatever else there might be.

Azarr: GOG fixes the games so they work properly on XP and Vista. And this very thread is about a patch that fixes the ring problem and probably whatever else there might be.

If this thread is about that particular bug, it mentions it nowhere. This thread did not specify what the patch fixes, just said it fixes "most" then said "all."
The thread I linked said what looks like it might be the same patch GOG recommends -- 1.03.02 -- does not work. GOG here calls it 1.03.024. If it's not just a typo, great.
If GOG figured out what Impulse didn't, more power to them. Just checking.
EDIT: Saw this on their forums that allays my worries now:
"Hey you should be able to play it in Vista I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition and have been playing Warlords Battlecry 3 all evening. Just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Enlight\Warlords Battlecry III and run it in XP SP2 Compatiblity mode and it will work fine"

I can assure you, it fixes it. The patch has been included, and the patch fixes the bugs. Also, GOG fixes it so it can run on XP and Vista. I'm running it in vista myself and it runs perfectly and the patch fixes the bugs.
Hi, and sorry from bumping this. I read on Infinite-Interactive's website (the developer of WBC 3) that GoG uses the unofficial patches on the game. Apparently, according to Coala's post here you had received an approval for this.
I don't mean to sound insulting, but as the person who spearheaded these said unofficial patches (and did most of the work on them), I had never heard of this before and I would be interested in hearing where you had got this approval from.
Just to be clear, I don't actually have anything against using the patches (although it might be better not to force them, because not everyone likes all the changes in the patches and you can easily apply the patches to the latest official versions, but going backwards is much trickier). I'd just like to know whether this approval to use patches I had almost alone made came from Infinite Interactive, Enlight Software or some other party.
Thanks!

Hello,
Is this the patch that nerfs summoning? Every summoned character has a timer, leaving your ferocious Summoner with no one to help him. I have played 1.03 alot and had no problem. Can the option of removing .24 be made? What Big Bug except having fun was fixed in .24? Players ae missing half the game as it goes poof! just before you attack. And can Warlords Battlecry 2 be added? It's similar but not like #3 and as much fun. I have both of them on XP but the GOG version is better.

lobsta21: What Big Bug except having fun was fixed in .24?

I asume it's this and applies to all dowloadable versions of the game
"The problem is that all random events in the game like spell chance critical hits...etc is broken. Nothing will happen unless it's 100% sure to happen. This makes most spells useless as well as all random items since all you get is a Ring of Elven Greed no matter how many chests you open."
Full changelog:
1.03.24 changes:
----------------
- Fixed problem with invisible units on 3GB+ systems
1.03.23 changes:
----------------
- Fixed broken spelldamage code caused by 1.03.22
- Changed pyromancy reductions under rain as follows:
20% reduction for Hand of Fire.
30% reduction for Circle of Fire.
40% reduction for Pillar of Fire.
50% reduction for Armageddon.
(instead of the previous division per 90!)
- Fixed the "Earthpower bug" (or at least I couldn't reproduce it anymore).
- Fixed free "Call the dead" for liches (again, at least I couldn't reproduce it anymore).
- Like 1.03.22, it carries a fixed System.xcr file, in case you screwed up your previous one
with the "any version to 1.03.21" patches.
1.03.22 changes:
----------------
- Includes all missing 1.03.2 quickfixes.
- Whispers of time: Duration now is 1 minute regardless of mastery.
- Mechanical units suffer 1.5x damage from criticals, 2x damage from deathblows, and are immune to (most) critical effects.
- Spells, multi-target/area damage and projectyles may still get critical effects.
- Undead units suffer 1.5x damage from criticals, 2x damage from deathblows, but suffer critical effects.
1.03.21 changes carried over in this one:
-----------------------------------------
Major timer fixes:
Daemongate : 90 seconds + 60 sec. /mastery
Skellies/Wights/Wasps/Succubi: 2 minutes + 2 min./mastery
Imps: 3 minutes+ 2 per mastery
Quasits : 2 min. + 2 min./mastery
Slow Troops (Golems, Treants, Zombies, Wights, Skellies):
all 240 seconds + 180 /mastery
Spellcasting troops (Nagas, Unicorn, Mages):
all 300 seconds + 240 sec./mastery
Summoning related spells:
- Summoned succubi gain 20 extra XP per mastery level, and last 2 minutes +1 per mastery.
- Banish now works at least on level 5 creatures (so a level 1 summoner can banish a 50 XP Daemon)
- Daemongate summons +1 Daemon each 3 levels of mastery (starting from 4)
- Summon imps summons +1 imp per mastery, + 20 XP per mastery.
- Eyes of Oros now last two minutes + 2 per mastery (they used to be 30 seconds, LOL), they now gain XP
from Circle Of Power.
Misc. Spell changes:
- Vampirism lasts 2 minutes + 2/Mastery
- Brought back multiple zombies/quasits with level 1 casting + dark portal.
- Goblin Horde summoned Goblins now gain extra XP on higher "masteries".
- Zombies can now scavenge building rubbles too.
- Raise Champion gives 2 Shadows by default +2 per mastery, or +1 Champion every 3 masteries starting from level 4.
- Duration for Raise Champion: 2 minutes + 2 per Mastery
- Raise Wight gives 1 extra wight each 2 levels (starting from level 3).
- Duration of 2 minutes for floating elementals, 4 minutes for earth elementals.
- Whispers of time: Duration now is 1 minute + 1 per mastery, instead of 30 seconds and -15 seconds over level 2
- Call Shadow (Illusion): Fixed timer to be 1 minute + 1 per mastery, +1 shadow each 2 levels starting from 3.
- Most expensive spells now give 1 extra summon each 2 or 3 masteries (e.g. elemental summonings, daemongate).
Misc changes:
- Zombies can scavenge building rubbles too.
- Trolls can pickup any small nonflying critter (will still throw them as sheep).
- Catapults can pickup camels too (will still throw them as cows).
1.03.20 Change List
(numbers in brackets are 1.03.10-values)
General changes:
-New "feature" for race selection screen: Typing "/HIDE ON" (without quotes) turns on "Race hiding"-feature, which blanks out every other players', except your own, selected race in the selection screen. Typing "/HIDE OFF" in the chat turns this feature off. (notes: 1. Only host can toggle Race Hiding. 2. The commands are case sensitive. 3. The Race Hiding should be toggled only after every player has joined, as the new players will not get the current Hiding-setting.)
-Possibly fixed some issues with having many units and buildings on the game at once. This increases in-game memory usage by about 2 mb total.
-Cleave damage halved
-In no hero games, starting generals replaced by "Dummy Heroes", who are special generals who look like heroes. They have special stats and can be rebuilt at cost after death. ONLY available in No hero games. Stats: Combat 12; Hits 160; Speed 15; Damage 20; Armor 15; Resistance 15; Cost 120 each; Buildtime 90 s

Hero, skill and spell changes:
-Mind leech doesn't work on heroes.
-Weaponmaster back to normal
-Dragonmaster now affects all dragons, Ssrathi dinos and Plague hydras
-The Barbarian King-skill replaced with "Riding", which gives xp for all cavalry units; Chieftains get Beast slayer on lvl 1 and Riding on lvl 15
-Dragonslayers get Ssrathi heroes' Dragonmaster skill at lvl 25 instead of Wealth
-Healers get Arcane back
-Potionmaster effect doubled
-Enervate buffed: 75% + 25%/lvl
-Charisma and retinue change:
Every hero has 8 retinue slots all the time, instead of adding new retinue slots, every fourth point in charisma gives one additional army setup point.
-Slayer skills' effect halved for heroes, all other melee units get +1/2 damage against the specified unit type for each point in a slayer skill
-Minefiller spells don't spawn extra units with summoning buildings, however the buildings do give extra xp and spawn the units next to it
-Temp hero creation fixes:
1. Skill level caps. Every skill has a cap of (HeroLvl - SkillMinimumLevel + 1), so a lvl 7 temp hero can put maximum of 7 - 5 + 1 points to his lvl 5 skill. This cap is same
as you have in normal hero levelup, if you place points to skills on every level.
2. Requirement skills. You need to put a required ammount of points to lower level skills to be able to put points in later level skills. For an example, to be able to place
points in a lvl 5 skill you need to put at least three points in your starting skills, to be able to use lvl 10 skills you need to put 8 points, and so on. The required ammount of
skill points equals the ammount of points you need in legal perm hero level up.
3. If you remove enough points from a lower level skill while creating a temp hero, so that your high level skill no longer meets the required skill point criteria, it's points are
automaticly added back to available skill points to prevent cheating.
-Skill point saving killed by applying the temp hero creation fixes to perm hero lvl which have an illegal ammount of stat points. Hackers beware, their heroes' stats AND
skills will be set to zero!
-An integrated check in hero selection screen for illegal perm heroes: Checks whether hero's skillpoints are distributed in an illegal way (see explanation about temp heros)
-SOE related: Heroes named with SOE_-prefix (A Sword of Etheria-rule for SoE heroes; case sensitive; uppercase only) will be checked for items in backpack. SOE participants can ask ahatch or Jodwin for more information.
-Hero attackspeed from Dex is back to normal
-Pyromancers' Demolition replaced with a new Fire missile skill, which gives the hero a *permanent* fire missile attack, which *can not* be toggled on and off and which fires flame arrows despite the items worn. Fire missile deals a percentage of hero's base damage, and gets only one third of damage from items and mighty blow. Neither does it work with Slayer skills. Fire missile starts at 6 range, and ends up at 12 range with at least 80 points in the skill. Attacks with Fire missile are slightly slower than melee attacks.
-Concept of "advanced spell spheres": Advanced spell spheres are more powerful than basic spell spheres but become available only at lvl 30. Arcane is an advanced spell sphere
-New advanced spellsphere, Time magic, available for Sages, Summoners, Runemasters and Priests; Spellbook hotkey t
-Alchemists get Potionmaster at lvl 5, energy at lvl 15
-Thieves have a thievery skill: Every skill point increases the chance of stealing resources per hit by 1 percent. Capped at lvl 18 (20 % chance to steal per hit). Each steal increases a random resource with a random ammount: The ammount ranges from 1 to 10, and the chances for different resources are as follows:
50 % gold, 25 % crystal, 16.6667 % iron, 8.3333 % stone. Thievery DOES NOT work on: Mines, temples, lairs, shops, animals, walls, allies and own units and buildings.
-Swiftness implementation reworked, the old one was bugged. The new one applies the Swiftness bonus directly to dexterity attack speed bonus, and the Swiftness ammount is changed to reflect this.
-Fixed the bug with Learn Spell-spell (Yes, it still displays message that only one spell was learnt, but the spell DOES work correctly)
-Fixed Reave-skill
-Fey heroes get Magic Resistance on Energy's place, and Gemcutting on lvl 30, HE heroes get Arcane Rune instead of Energy to kill off Energy synergies
-Swarm heroes get poison magic instead of necromancy
-Casting Destruction removes all magical buffs, except enervate, from hero before damaging him - ALSO Lifeward. Kamikaze fanatics overjoy.
-Engineer gives buildings 3 % hits per point
-Pyromancy spells deal 10 % less damage in rain, Call lightning deal +10 % damage in rain
-Summon Imp mana cost 10 (14)
Spell durations:
Summoned units have a bar on them which shows their duration (this bar is visible only to the owner of the unit); summon duration passes along on morphed units

10.Breath of Dying Slays random enemy units from command radius, max 24 targets, each target has 66 % chance to be slain. Target lvl affected is 3 + 1/lvl -- 70
mana -- does not work on titans and undead and mechanical troops

Thank You Petrell
I never had a timer on spelled characters execpt the cool down spell added in version 3. I will try a Summoner after my 2 current games are done. The timer is not needed on summoned charracters, I truly believe. Otherwise I'm glad the other bug(s) were atttended to. This game is worth it. Thanks to the patch makers with a caveat. Hopefully Battlecry 2 will show up at GOG.
@JODWIN
You said you made most of the .24 patch. Thank You, but why the timer on summoned units? Your work is appreciated and I am offering constructive criticsm. The game works excellent with this patch. I'll change my style for Summoner play.

Christophe90: This patch makes me game completely crash coming up with a file-error named "cliffs".

The patch (1.03.24) is already integrated to GOG game installer so no need to install it second time (As Coala said in third post). You should reinstall and try again. If problem persists post here again or contact support articles to see if any of them can help.
