DxWnd has a stock import for Warlords Battlecry II, but it needs a few changes:
- Main tab: Check "Do not notify on task switch", and "Run in Window". Position Width/Height should match your desired resolution, and should be placed on Desktop center.
- Video tab: Choose Thick frame. Check Force win resize, Recover screen mode, Refresh on win resize. Window size & Position should change to Free. Z order should change to unlock.
- Input: Cursor visibility should be set to Hide. Cursor Clipper set to On. Check Correct mouse position, Keep cursor within window, and Release mouse outside window.
