I have both Warlords III and Warlords IV. But, I'm not sure if posting the game would be in terms of GOG rules. Its sorta pirating it, but literally, there is very few places to get it. Amazon has it, but when I last looked the other day it was 90 dollars (guess its hard to get) and who knows if it would have worked on my Windows 10 PC or not (both do on my system)
Another site called old-games (not GOG) had it for sell, but that site is a scam and loaded with viruses...don't use it.
Warlords IV comes fully patched, comes with an unofficial patch (makes AI WAY better, which was the main complaint judging by old reviews) and new scenarios and no viruses (I made sure, cause I didn't want an infection).
Warlords III also comes fully patched, comes with an unofficial patch and a ton of new scenarios/maps. On Windows 10 it works great. I'm not sure on Windows 7 or 8 however.
With that said. I don't see a harm in uploading both. The company/person(s) who made it doesn't make any money since as far as I know they don't exist or/and own the rights to the game anymore (that went to Ubisoft). Both are great games that are super hard to find. And my friend DID buy an amazon copy (about a two years ago), but it came loaded with viruses (which was weird since it was on amazon, but the seller must have been shady or something)...so even then that isn't the safest bet lol. He put in the CD and his antivirus went crazy (forgot what he was using at the time, he was using windows 98 still at the time lol, I know...) and then he saw warnings that windows system files were being replaced and he had to reinstall his PC. And it ended up being after taking it to geeksquad that the game from amazon was infected (the only place I can actually find that would be legit to buying the game. I tried looking for any digital downloads and there are no legit ones I can find)
What is everyones thoughts? Think GOG would okay if I post links to both copies of the game? They are amazing games, as good as Warlords Battlecry series, more focus on combat and kinda risk style in a way, but they are just as fun to me.
