TERRITORIES 2120 Sysop Prep Manual
Authored by Jeffrey D. Hoffman. Copyright (c) 1996. All rights reserved.

Introduction
TERRITORIES 2120 is a strategy-oriented, space-conquest simulation that pits
players against one another. Players compete with one another in
randomly-generated galaxies in an attempt to control all of the solar systems
within the galaxy. Players accumulate points when they conquer a galaxy
completely.
In designing this product, one of our preliminary goals was to make the game
playable with as few commands as possible. In fact, the entire game can be
controlled through three commands. Game-play is simple, straight-forward, and
extremely easy to learn. Addiction is a sure-thing.
Installation
Setting up the TERRITORIES software on your system is very easy. Follow these
step-by-step instructions to complete the installation.
1. Create a subdirectory within your TBBS directory. This directory will hold
the software and databases required to run this package. For the purposes
of this section, we assume installation to the following path:
C:\TBBS\T2120
2. Extract the contents of the T2120V10.ZIP file into the newly created
subdirectory.
C:\TBBS\T2120\> pkunzip t2120v10.zip
3. After a fresh extraction, you need to prepare the databases for a new game.
Do so by executing the TRRAFORM.EXE program. Append a -CR-I flag onto the
command line before executing.
C:\TBBS\T2120\> trraform -cr-i
4. For proper game-play, the TRRAFORM.EXE file needs to be executed daily. Add
the following lines to your BBS' external event batchfile.
rem Perform daily maintenance on TERRITORIES 2120.
rem LegendTASK.
cd \tbbs\t2120
trraform (-i)
Some Syops may want the Terraform software to regenerate the index files
each night. The -I flag instructs Terraform to rebuild all indexes.
5. Modify your menu .SDL file and add the following lines:
Entry:
T -> TERRITORIES 2120
Priv=0 A1=-------- A2=-------- A3=-------- A4=-------- ANS=- IBM=-
Key=T Type=200 Opt Data=c:\tbbs\t2120\2120 /Q
Entry:
K -> TERRITORIES 2120 KILL SHEET
Priv=0 A1=-------- A2=-------- A3=-------- A4=-------- ANS=- IBM=-
Key=K Type=1 Opt Data=c:\tbbs\t2120\scores.txt /Q
6. Compile the .SDL.
7. Run your BBS.
Limitations of the demonstration version
From a player's perspective, TERRITORIES 2120 is limit-free! They can
experience every aspect of the game whether you have registered the software or
not. The only limitation to this version is that the settings in the
configuration file are ignored by the demonstration version. The default
settings are five turns a day with thirty fighters to begin with.
