There are a variety of other administration commands that show total pieces,
victory points, or send and receive messages.
I. TOTAL PIECES
The "Total pieces" command (press 'T') may be invoked from either the main
menu or move menu. It displays friendly piece totals for each type and the
grand total.
Total pieces
INF = 5
PIK = 0
CAV = 3
ARC = 2
CAT = 0
HRS = 0
LGL = 1
HGL = 0
TOT = 11
Done
II. VICTORY POINTS
The "Victory points" command (press 'V') may be invoked from either the main
menu or move menu. It displays general game information and the victory
points for each player (the names of players that have been eliminated will
be grayed out).
Victory points
Map=50,50
Wrap=Yes
Command=No
PLAYER1=256
PLAYER2=302
PLAYER3=124
Done
Points are awarded or deducted for a variety of reasons. 50 points are
awarded for taking an empty or enemy city and 50 points are deducted for
having a city captured from you. For building a combat piece, the piece's
total hit-points (original attack+defense) are awarded, 5 points are awarded
for building a horse, and 10 points are awarded for building a light galleon.
For destroying an enemy combat piece, its total hit-points are awarded (5 for
horses and 10 for light galleons), and deducted if one of your pieces is
destroyed by the enemy.
III. MESSAGES
The "Messages" command (press 'E') may only be invoked from the main menu. It
will display the Messages menu:
Messages
Read new/read Old
Send
DElete
1=PLAYER1
2=PLAYER2
3=PLAYER3
Done
To read new (unread) messages, use the "Read new" (press 'R') menu command.
The message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen along with the
number of the player that sent it and the date it was sent. Read old (already
read) messages in the same manner, just use the "Read old" (press 'O') menu
command instead. To delete messages, use the "Delete" (press 'D') menu
command and answer 'yes' to each message that is to be deleted. To send a
message, use the "Send" (press 'S') menu command and enter the correct number
of the player to whom the message is to be sent and then enter the text of
the message.
WINNING THE GAME
==================
The game is over when all but one player has been eliminated. Players are eliminated in one of two ways. One way is if they surrender, in which all of their pieces will be destroyed and all of their cities will be emptied. The other way is if all of their cities are captured and all of their city-capturing pieces (infantry and cavalry) have been destroyed. The last player left in the game will receive leader points depending on the margin of victory in the game:
Victor has 2x the VPs of any other player . . . 4 leader points
Victor has more VPs than any other player . . . 2 leader points
Victor wins game . . . . . . . . . . . 1 leader points
The "Leader board" displays the top fifteen players in total leader points.
