- PLAYERS:
- one player vs. five computer opponents
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- A 128 x 128 map, escape from confinement, build army and then destroy the enemy.
- Somewhat complicated with little room for errors. While you are busy escaping,
- the computer is building up its troops. A few rebel Orcs are willing to help you.
-
- I thought that I would try something different with this pud. I hope that you find it
- somewhat unique. The rest of this text is step by step hints.
-
- Please feel free to send questions, comments and constructive criticism.
-
-
- STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T YET TRIED THE PUD!!!
-
- The rest is some suggestions in case you get stuck or are having difficulties.
- Remember to save frequently!
-
- 1. To start, destroy the walls surrounding the 4 peasants, chop some trees, and build a mill.
- (do not do any archer upgrades right after the mill is built!)
-
- 2. Caution, don't free the Grunts! Direct you tree choppers carefully. Start cutting a path
- to the gold to the west, water to the East, and water to the south. Also clear enough room to
- build a town hall. Free your 4 peon friends and build the Town Hall A.S.A.P.
-
- 3. Once hall is build, send some peasants to mine the gold (it won't take long).
-
- 4. As soon as you can build a Shipyard on the water to your south-west. You will also need
- To build 3 Farms. Create only 1 oil transport and get the oil.
-
- 5. When you have enough oil, build a foundry on the pond to east. Once built, create a troop
- Transport and move it the water entrance directly south of the starting point. Move all of
- the peasants across the water, south of the oil patch. Clear the trees, making a couple of trips
- back an forth and build another Town Hall in the new clearing for convenience. Start mining
- the gold.
-
- 6. Use your newly found dynamite dude to blow the wall behind the mine. Build
- another Shipyard behind the mine. Careful! Build it to the left most as possible since you
- will need to get your guys on the transport. Oh ya, build a transport at your new shipyard.
-
- 7. Leave some peasants behind to mine the gold, chop some more trees, and to finally start
- Building some things! Take the rest on the transport to the end of the river. Walk a little
- Ways east/east-south. Build a Town Hall in the middle hub and mine the surrounding
- pathetically stocked gold mines.
-
- 8. Meanwhile, build carefully as your funds are still limited. Make another tanker from your
- second ship yard and get to work on the oil patch you passed up. Only one tanker will
- Work from that direction though. Build yet another Ship yard on the Ocean, create a
- Transport, and take 5 peasants and one demo squad to the south-west corner of the map,
- that's where the gold is! Be careful, you'll be chased!
-
- 9. Now, now, that's quite enough, the rest is up to you. If the computer didn't mess up
- your (basically four) opponents, the battle hasn't even begun! Some Orc friends are
- trapped in the mountain by your oil platform. It will take 2 or 3 demo squads to free them.
- Good luck, and feel free to send some e-mail.
