Hey,
     if I remember correctly (and it has been a LONG while) I had to 
ditch Warlords 3 because it would no longer run on modern OS/computers.
Used to love that game ...

Not sure what the deal is with Gameranger, I've never used them.

Warlords IV runs fine on Win7 Ultimate, but the game mechanics are 
totally changed and I never did warm to it.

Maybe the closest a modern game comes are Age of Wonders III, and 
(Fallen Enchantress)-Legendary Heroes. Or, if you have Civilization's 
expansion Beyond the Sword you can try to install the mod Fall from 
Heaven 2 -- which makes for EPIC games. 

best, -P.
