Field notes
The project provides separate Linux x86_64 and ARM64 downloads, graphical setup wizards, and installation guides for its playable ports. Warlords III is also listed for macOS, MSI Claw, Steam Deck, and Khadas VIM1S, with its source code offered under GPL-3.0-or-later. The homepage marks Anno 1503 and Arcanum as in development, distinguishing those plans from the completed ports it lists.
