The game runned very slow and sound didnt work (this im not sure) but after changing config it was just perfect.

You seem to have already figured that out, but for others: run 'install' to configure sound. I've chosen Sound Blaser Pro (later) and it works. Then just type 'magic' .

You adjust CPU cycles with CTRL-F11 (lower) or CTRL-F12 (higher). Higher is not necessarily better. There's an optimum value for each CPU. I'm currently running at 12416 cycles and I can't notice any delays. My CPU is Core2Duo E6750 . Dosbox verion 0.72 .

In no particular order:

Dom3, Disciples 2(the GOLD edition for this game is pure addiction), Ratchet & Clank series for PS2/PS3(gotta love those),
Earth 2160(I was heavily addicted to this game for a while), Total Annihilation(a true classic and an important lesson in RTS history), Total Annihilation: Kingdoms(TA with a fantasy twist), Morrowind(a great game...once you acquire a few mods that is), Two Worlds, Europa Universalis 3(a very good game... although you get kinda bored after playing it for too long in one session).
Oh, I almost forgot: Banjo-Kazooie series for N64(that's right, I'm a platformer geek. Sue me

Ooh, I just have to add Warlords IV. You either hate it or ignore it. I love it... or loved it. I lost the CD a while ago and now the game is just to dang hard to find. "sobs"

I downloaded the demo for this one. I can't say that I hate it as it's not that bad a game (I haven't played the predecessors either), but it's not really hard to win against the AI in this game, is it? That makes playing SP games rather pointless to me. It does seem a little over-simplified. If you liked this game, then I'll recommend Armageddon Empires to you.

I like Warlords 1 and 2, and none of the others in the franchise. Warlords 2 was just the original with a random map generator and some upgraded features. Everything after it was a complete departure.

I can't find the original, but Warlords 2 is abandonware and available on the net.
