4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Vikings requires 1.5MB of hard drive storage to install.
Installing VIKINGS is very simple using the following instructions.
First, you should create a directory within which you would like
VIKINGS to reside. Second, you will change to that directory and
type install. That's all there is to it. For example, if you want
VIKINGS to be in a directory called "vikings", do the following:
C> mkdir vikings
C> cd vikings
C> b:\install or a:\install
*** DO NOT TYPE B: AND HIT RETURN THEN TYPE INSTALL AND HIT RETURN ***
*** TYPE B:\INSTALL WHILE YOU ARE IN THE C:\VIKINGS DIRECTORY !! ***
Now, any time you want to play the game, simply change to this directory and type:
C> vikings
4. TERRITORY HANDICAPPING:
Each kingdom can individually set the number of territories that it needs to
conquer in order to win. This is done on the opening setup screen by adjusting
the gadget box that contains the number 125. Adjusting upward is accomplished
by clicking the left mouse button on this gadget, or decreasing it by clicking
the right mouse button.
5. COMPUTER PLAYERS
If a computer's army is in a territory and no enemy territories are adjacent,
then that army is hidden from view.
6. COMPUTER ARMY MOVEMENTS:
- Land Movements. When a computer army is invading an enemy territory
on land, it's movement is in a straight line from its origin to the
enemy territory. It is shown this way for speed purposes. Internally
(in the program) it is really moving through those territories.
- Sea Movements. When a computer player decides to invade a territory
across water, since its armies dont build flotillas, it is delayed a
few turns based on the distance of the movement, and then, all in one
turn the invasion takes place. While that army is simulating the sea
movement it is NOT allowed to do anything else!
7. HUMAN VERSUS HUMAN BATTLE:
When one HUMAN player is defending against another HUMAN invading player,
the defender uses the keypad for giving orders to the troops. The key
assignments are shown below:
KEY ORDER
=== =====
7 pull Swordsmen in/out of battle
4 pull Archers in/out of battle
1 pull Crossbowmen in/out of battle
8 pull Pikemen in/out of battle
5 pull Knights in/out of battle
2 pull Mtd Knights in/out of battle
3 pull Champions in/out of battle
<enter> RETREAT
8. SAVING/LOADING A GAME
Not available in this Shareware copy.
9. SPECIAL
**** To move the map around simply hold down the RMB and move the mouse. ****
BLACK SCREEN= DO NOT use NOEMS on the emm386.exe line in your config.sys as this does not
allow Vikings to access extend or expanded memory!!! This will get you a BLACK
screen after the title, Realism logo and credits screen!! You will also get a
BLACK screen if there is not enough memory for the game to load all the graphics!!
i.e. get rid of smartdrive.exe or such programs that use up a lot of memory...these
can be commented out from your config.sys or autoexec.bat by putting REM at the
start of the line you wish to comment out.
Sorry, but no sound is available in Vikings other than the mouse clicking as we ran
out of memory in a 2mb ram system and had major problems getting sound to play in 32-
bit mode on the SoundBlaster. It is in the works though for future games and possibly
an upgrade/enhanced version that will be made available to all who have sent in their
registration cards.
If no activity takes place for one minute at the setup screen, the demo mode is then started.
To exit the demo hit any key and when that computer king's turn is completed, the setup
screen will be shown again. All scrolls in the game that have a CONTINUE at the bottom can
either be exited by clicking the LMB on the word CONTINUE or if the RMB is not being used,
may also be exited by clicking the RMB anywhere. If a scroll does not have a CONTINUE
at the bottom, clicking anywhere will exit the scroll. Most of the bulletin scrolls are timed
to stay on screen for a length of time. If you do not want to wait for the time to expire,
simply click the LMB anywhere and the game will continue.
