- Playing Conflict
- ---------------
-
- The playing of Conflict is divided into the following phases:
- Distribution, Attack, and Reinforce. The explanations follow...
-
- <Distribution Phase>
-
- At the begining of every turn you are given some legions. You get
- 1 legion for every 3 countries you own, with a minimum of 3 legions per
- turn. (So if you only have 1 country you still get 3 Legions.) You can
- also get extra legions by holding an entire continent for a day. However,
- The amount of legions you get depends on what continent you hold. For a
- map of the continents and their value per turn in legions, press L when
- playing Conflict.
- To give out these legions, just put the mouse pointer on a country
- YOU own and press the left mouse button. Your countries will be GREEN, and
- Conflict will also display your GAME NAME in the 2 status lines at the
- top of the screen, if you point at a country you own.
-
- <Notes>
-
- Pressing C will not exit the distribution phase. You must give out
- all your extra legions, before you can continue to the attack phase.
- Pressing the Left Mouse Button while pointing at an Enemy Country
- will make a bell go off. (When you do anything wrong this happens)
-
- <Attack Phase>
-
- After you have distributed your new legions, you will go directly
- into the attack phase. If you don't wish to attack anyone, then press C
- and you will go to the next phase. (Reinforce) If you want to attack
- someone, then chose a country that you want to launch the attack from by
- putting the mouse pointer on it and pressing the left mouse button. If
- you do not own this country or you only have one legion in it, then a bell
- will go off telling you did something wrong. (You MUST have AT LEAST 2
- legions in a country to attack someone from it.) After you have selected
- wich country to attack from or the base country, then select an enemy
- country bordering or connected by a white line to it and HOLD DOWN the
- left mouse button. (You MUST keep the left mouse button depress through
- the entire attack.) Now the attack is on! The countries will battle it out
- and you can keep track of both the Enemy Countries and Your losses. If
- you are losing too many legions, to abort the attack just lift up on the
- left mouse button.
- When you attack a country the odds are like this... You both role a
- nine sided die once. If the attacker rolls an equal or greater number than
- the defender, then the defender will loose a legion. If the defender roles
- a greater number, then the attacker will loose a legion. (The computer does
- all this without you seeing it.)
- If you wipe out all of the enemy country's legions, then 1 of your
- legions will be placed into that country and a small menu will appear
- at the top of the screen. If you press the right mouse button, you will
- transfer a legion from the base country to the captured one. If you press
- the left button a legion from the captured country will be transfered to
- the base country. (You MUST have AT LEAST one Legion in each country.)
- Press the space bar to return to the Attack phase again.
-
- <Note>
-
- To enter the next phase (Reinforce), just press C
-
-
- <Reinforce>
-
- In this phase you move your legions from places of little importance
- to the fronts. The only draw back is you must move your forces to a
- bordering FRIENDLY country. (You cannont move them to enemy countries) To
- do this, just put the mouse pointer on a country you own and press the
- left mouse button, then put the pointer on another country you own
- BORDERING or connected to it by a white line. Now a small menu should
- apear on top of your screen. Pressing the right mouse button takes a
- legion away from the base country and gives it to the other country and
- the left mouse button does the opposite. Pressing the Space bar will
- exit, so you can choose another country to reinforce.
-
- <Note>
-
- Pressing C again will return you to the Menu. (Turn over...)
-
- If you have Captured all of the Countries, you will be notified
- when you return to the Conflict Main Menu. The Game will be reset and
- your Dictator Name will appear in the news file as the Victor, until the
- next game starts.
