Software Description:
---------------------
Warlords, The Quest for the Iridian Throne is a multi-player
game loosely based on the game Empire. The individual
players create a empire that they must manage. This
management includes keeping people happy, handling
covert activities, and managing military resources and
ultimately to determine strategy that will put the player on
top of all empires.
Its not easy as the Galactic Newspaper often tells of
under-handed activities that you may be involved with.
Fortunately it is possible to publish an article in this
paper to tell your side of the story.
As a rising Emperor you may find it useful to ally with one
of your neighbors. You can use inter-galactic mail and
military transfers of goods and military supplies to make
this alliance.
Do you have what it takes??
Software Requirements:
----------------------
1. FALKEN BBS v6.x or greater
2. At least 165k of Doors Memory.
3. All accounts that play the game *MUST* have a 8 character
account number that is unique to each player. This
account number is used to create mailboxes for each
player for inter-game mail.
4. Every day at a predetermined time the program
CLEANWAR.EXE is to be run. This program will reset
flags so that players will get new turns every day.
This is best done by a timer-event. Refer to the FALKEN
users manual for a complete description of timer-event.
Installation Instructions:
-------------------------
1. Create a directory that can be used as a work area
by Warlords.
2. Copy CLEANWAR.EXE to the same directory that FALKEN's
MAINBBS.EXE is located.
3. Copy WAR40.EXE to the standard directory that you place
your doors programs at. Then run FALKEN's BBSCFG
and indicate the key and the path to the WAR30.EXE
executable. Refer to your FALKEN manual for complete
information on the installation of DOORS.
4. Copy NEWWAR.EXE to the same directory that FALKEN's
MAINBBS.EXE is located
5. Run NEWWAR.EXE in the directory that MAINBBS.EXE
resides.
Answer the questions and the proper files will
be created.
It is advised that turns be set to 5 a day, more would
disturb the balance of the game.

for a medium length game, less for a shorter game, more
for a longer game.
