2.) I then applied the 'Heuristic Park's unofficial Wizards and Warriors Patch v1.0'. Once again both 10.0 and 10.1 worked fine. 3.) Applied the 'Wizards and Warriors Town AVI XP fix'. Both 10.0 and 10.1 worked fine. 4.) Installed the 'Ross Ridge's Wizards and Warriors DirectX Graphics fix'.
I was able to get Wizards and Warriors working on Windows 10 64-bit by following the instructions listed on Jeff Ludwig's site. I will paste those instructions here, and also a direct link to his site. His Site: His Wizards and Warriors Page: This list is going to step you through how to get Wizards and Warriors running on a machine that is running Windows XP or later.
Wizards and Warriors is notoriously finicky to set up on Windows XP and later versions of Windows (though I have had good luck getting it to work on Windows 7. Go figure.) Windows XP seems to be more random if this works or not. At any rate, here goes.
Install Wizards and Warriors, and immediately make a copy of this directory. This backup is optional, but quite helpful in a pinch.
Download Heuristic Park's unofficial Wizards and Warriors v1.0 patch, available below as a convenience. Extract 'wwpatchv10.zip' to your Wizards and Warriors directory, overwriting any files. Download the Town AVI XP fix, available above.
Extract 'WW-townavi.zip' to your Wizards and Warriors directory, overwriting any files. Backup your deep6.exe, d6trlist.dat, d6item.dat, and d6mons.dat files. These files are in your root Wizards and Warriors directory. Download Ross Ridge's Wizards and Warriors DirectX Graphics Patch, available below as a convenience. Extract W&WGraphicsPatch.zip to your Wizards and Warriors directory.
Run W&WGraphicsPatch.exe, and tell it to use a 1280x960 resolution (this is fully double 640x480 and will render the most clean graphics). Of course, if your monitor won't do 1280x960 resolution, 800x600 would work too. Run the game, and click 'Start the Game'. Hit the 'Game Options' orb in the lower left part of the screen, and then go to the 'Graphics' tab. To use the resolution that you set via the graphics patch, select 'D3D 800x600' for the Driver option.
If you selected 800x600 in step 10, I recommend that you run the game in 'D3D 640x480' mode, though. Quit the game, and then restart it.
You should be good to go!

At least two reviews mention a 'mouse lag' problem associated with W&W. I'm a day 1 player of W&W, have played it on at least 4 or 5 very different PCs, seen several bugs, but not one which could be described as 'mouse lag problem' (I myself am using a mix of mouse and keyboard to play the game). Could someone describe this problem please? If someone suffers from this problem, it would be useful to mention the PC configuration (OS, graphics card.) and the game settings used (I'm not saying I can help, but the information may help narrow the problem cause down). It may also be worth trying the (unofficial) Town AVI or graphics patches.
The game can also be played with the keyboard (configurable bindings). I have the issue. WIndows 7 64-bit, nVidia GTX 765M and Intel integrated graphics (through Optimus), using a Razor Naga Hex mouse. The best way to explain the mouse lag problem, is in the game if I move the mouse slowly there's no movement on screen. If I move the mouse normal speed back & forth, the mouse moves in the game. So, basically I have to move the mouse quickly and stop right over the button/object I need to click and if I miss, I can't move the mouse slowly I have to quickly move it away and quickly move it back and try again. Rinse and repeat until I get it over the button, makes the game incredibly difficult and frustrating.
I think I pretty much fixed things with the mouse. First I downloaded and installed the GOG version of the game. I set my mouse to 125 polling rate, sensitivity to 1800, and Acceleration to 8 which helped a tiny bit. I then downloaded and installed Heuristic Parks unofficial patch v1.0 and afterward it asked to install CD-ROM Disc 2. I then downloaded and installed Ludmeister's Wizards and Warriors Mod v1.1, rev.1 which does mod the game (it helps with bugs, fixes balance issues, and changes some aspects of the game for balance/enjoyment issues) so it's not the exact original game but it fixes the CD-ROM issue if you have a full install.
I noticed an improvement, and think this was the biggest help to the mouse issue. I then changed the graphics setting of the game to use D3D instead of Software (which all should if using Windows XP+). The mouse is now very close to working perfect, definitely playable. Oh, and I right clicked the shortcut and set it to compatability mode Windows 2000. If it doesn't work for you, don't ask me I'm no expert those things really helped my install.
