Playing the game
================
MEDIEVAL WAR DOOR is played on a map of variable size depending on
the setup of the game. There are various islands throughout the map with
cities and mountains. You and your opponents start the game with one city
each and a number of pieces as determined by the setup of the game.
The object of the game is to build up your forces and capture cities
until you are strong enough to attack the other players. To win the game you
must capture or destroy all of your opponent's cities and pieces until all of
them are eliminated or surrender.
You begin the game with one city and a number of pieces determined by
the setup of the game. The current piece will be on a black square with the
letter code of that piece in your color. To move, make sure that Num-Lock is
on and press the number of the desired direction to move.
This is a brief introduction. To get more help about the rules of the
game use the extensive on-line help by pressing 'I' from the main menu.
Registration
============
MEDIEVAL WAR DOOR is a shareware program that has a 30 day evaluation
period after which a payment of $22 is required. As shareware, MEDIEVAL WAR
DOOR was distributed freely in order to allow people to "test drive" it. The
try-before-you-buy concept allows users to find out which programs are useful
before purchasing them. If a shareware program is useful or entertaining,
please support it through registration. The registration fee for MEDIEVAL WAR
DOOR is only $22 and entitles you to the newest registered version of the
program which allows up to 50 simultaneous games, a printed manual, customer
