Shareware: To begin you must have all the heroes files (fallen.exe, heroes2.zip, heroes3.zip, heroes4.zip, heroes5.zip, heroes6.zip) located in the same place.
Type "Fallen". When the file is finished extracting, type "install". Follow the instructions for choosing a drive to install the program to.
The shareware version needs a great deal of hard drive space, about 125 megs.
If you register your copy, the amount will be reduced to about 30 to 40 megs on the
hard drive and 500+ megs on the cd-rom.
Note: If you install to a drive that is running disk compression of any kind,
game play will be slowed and the amount of installation space will be greatly increased.
Note: The shareware version will run slower than the cd registered version.
This is due to the sheer number of files placed on the hard drive and how they are handled by the hard drive, this is corrected when run from the registered cd-rom version.
System Setup: In order to run the program you must exit Windows to Dos, not a Dos prompt. If running Windows 95, shutdown to Dos mode.
Note: The program is a 32 bit MS-Dos game, and will nut run from Windows.
Check your available memmory by typing "MEM" at your prompt.
If the largest executionable is at leat 580k+ the should run, less than that
and you will have to run "Memmaker" or "Qemm" or other memory manager
to get more lower memory free.
We highly reccommend setting up a 4 meg smartdrive (smartdrv 4096 ).
If you do'nt know how the program will check to see if you have one allocated, if not the game will load a 2 meg version. (smartdrv 2048 ).

Known Errors:
1) DPMI 32 module cannot be run on Win32.
Exit Windows, program will not run from Windows or a Dos prompt.
2) Games locks will running in fast mode (F3).
On some machines we have found that this will happen based on memmory
allocation and drivers being loaded during boot up. This can also be caused by a Cmos
setting that enables VGA Palette Snooping.
3) On some pentiums in cmos if PCI-Bursting is on the game may lock up or bail out.
4) Some Sound Blaster sound card clones may not auto-detect during installation,
manually select Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster 16.
5) Some Trident brand video cards during video setup when installing the game may
cause the screen to distort, press Enter and test this should correct the problem, if not
select the last setting, Vesa Compliant and that should do the trick
6) If your game won't load or seems to bail and you are using Windows 95 after exiting
to Dos Mode, reset the machine and when it says Starting Windows, press the F8 key,
and select Command Prompt Only, this sould help.
Note: If you start using the F8 key when you get a prompt, type "dosstart", this will load
your CD-Rom and mouse drivers in most cases.
If you encounter any problems please E-Mail us at "a-benter@primenet.com".

Unit Placement :
Placing units is very critical to your armies success or failure in the coming battle.
When placing we have found it best to place slower units (units with lower movement numbers), towards the front lines, leaving the fastest units in the rear.
As these units move the faster will overtake the slower by the time the two armies
clash. Also when placing leave spaces between every three or four units, so the units in the rear can pass thru the lines when they are up in the initiative order.
Always arrange your units so that larger creatures are aided by smaller ones, to create a
shielding effect against enemies, you will find that your expensive allies will be around a lot longer this way. When placing the general, wizard, standard bearer, these are all very important units and influence the other troops so it is best to spread them out among the other units for the best effect. Examine the placement of the computers armies in the saved scenarios, you can do this by setting your LOS to All in Pre-Game Menu, or by changing sides once the game has begun.
Once you have mastered placement you can really begin to see the full value of your army on the playing field.
Placement: Use the mouse on the overview (small map) to select an area, to select the area Right-Click, then move the mouse around then Left-Click to select area.
Then move pointer to large tactical map (large map) then Right-Click to select area and Left-Click to place unit. Once placed the next unit purchased will come up in order,
the stats are displayed momentarily the stats box displays how many units have been placed and how many remain. To skip ahead use the Next Button or Previous Button, this will allow you to place units in any order. If you place a unit then would like to place something else in the same spot just put the placement box on top of it and place the new unit, the original is put back in the list and the new unit replaces it on the field. If you want to just remove a unit from the field to the list, just place the placement box (yellow box) on it a hit the Delete Key, the unit is returned the placement list. If you would like to change the initial facing of your unit, put the placement box on it and use the keyboards Arrow Keys to rotate the unit any direction.
To choose a new map piece to place on, Right-Click , this returns the mouse pointer,
then you may select a new area from the overview map (small map), and repeat the Same placement process.
Unit Placement / Stats Box : This box is designed to aid you , by displaying each units stats then switching to the list of units to place.
Information contained here includes : Armor type, if the unit carries a shield, Type of weapons carried, and if they have a ranged weapon. Unit placement list shows the number of units placed, the number of units to be placed, and buttons to allow you to scroll the list forward or back, and lastly to look again at the units stats.

Note: The F10 key can be your friend in battles where your loses are mounting.

Battle Theory
Buying and Placing Units: When purchasing units by them in the order you wish to place them on the field. This makes placement go much quicker.
When placing units put faster units behind slower units, this will allow the slower units to reach to battle shortly after the faster ones get there. Also when placing units leave spaces for units in the rear to get thru the battle lines during their movement.
A good rule of thumb is one space every three squares.
Computer Movement: The computer moves each unit based on what the unit actually sees. The computer always uses LOS based on the normal setting in the Pre-Game.
When moving the computer uses it units to support each other. It will seek out your units and then commence to close with them using it's own forces at range when possible, or close in when needed. Air unit act as scouts, and in some cases as pre-preempted
strike units. Always watch out for ambushes as the computer moves to encircle your forces. Terrain also plays a large factor in the computers course of action. It will always look for an easy way to move units thru rough terrain. This is only disregarded when it is in the act of charging. Cautious advances are safe advances, looking left and right to see if any units have gotten past is a good tactic. Never assume you are alone in any given area.
Unit Conditions: The physical and mental condition of a unit is always a major factor in how that unit will preform on the field. If a unit is fatigued it's attack and defense numbers will fall and if forced to move forward or fight will in turn influence the units morale rating. The key to a good fighting unit is not to push them to hard, allow them to rest now and then.
Human Control: While you move your units against the computer or another player, remember to scroll around to see what the moving unit can see.
If playing against a remote player over the modem, always remember players have the option of turning on computer control of their units with the F keys. Never assume that once you see the opposing General stand that it will be easy to get to or destroy,
these units are usually well protected. Use fast moving units to scout for your army but don't let them get too separated form the main army. Separated units many time become easy pickings for the enemy.
When purchasing units don't be tempted to buy all heavy units. An army without light support will become quickly overwhelmed.
If you loose your standard bearer another unit can pick it up, just position them next to the spot where the standard has fallen.
Campaigns: Campaign games are for the experienced commander whom is ready to conquer the world. In the campaign you start with a small army of units you hand select. As time goes on and thru victories and loses, your army will grow or shrink in size. New units will come from those recruited from the battlefield. Remember not to destroy all the most powerful creatures on your opponents side or they won't be there as possible allies for your army. In the campaign terrain will trade hands many times in the ultimate struggle to become ruler of the know lands. Careful advances is the way to winning, it's the foolhardy commander how drives his army too fast that fades from memory all too quickly. Campaigns allows your custom army to fight in other battles away from the lands listed, and play against other players that may wish to gain a few more allies by defeating you. Remember that any battle involving a custom army will end with that custom army be modified by the results.
Custom Army Improvements: With the capture of survivors of any battle if you are victorious, new troops may be willing to join your cause. Also your wizard may acquire new spells to cast and your general may become a better leader. Individual units will improve with each battle they survive, with their abilities going up as well as their skill level.
LOS: Line of sight is very important to you and your units. Units can only attack what they see. Remember in Normal mode you will see what they see. In friendly mode you see all your units but the current unit moving can still only see what is in his line of sight. When All mode is selected, you will see every unit move friend or foe, this mode is useful for beginners or for understanding why the computer chooses it's own moves as it does.
Note: When the computer moves any unit it always uses what would be Normal mode to determine it's actions.
Attacking: Attacking and when to attack becomes an art unto itself. You must gage how far it is to the enemy when preparing to charge. To be able to attack you must still have movement remaining when you get there. If an enemy looks to tough it may be best to put some expendable units up against it to slow it down. Ranged attacks can be a footmens best support. Remember areas as well as units may be targeted.
Victory, How to Win: Winning the game is a delicate balance, learning when to run and when to stand and fight can only come with practice. But some simple things to remember;
1) Never expose your key units like the wizard or the general unless the situation really calls for it.
2) Never push your units until the are totally exhausted, you run the risk that they will take damage, or possibly flee the battle.
3) Concentrate your forces on destroying key units of the enemy to force a victory.
4) Remember, victory is achieved by forcing the enemy to take loses with point totals that equal the setting selected in the pre-game menu. (ex: 50 % of original starting points).
5) Never underestimate your opponent, he may still have a trick or two up his sleeve, or a really good round that can totally change the battle out come (It's never over until it's over).
6) Develop a battle strategy early, and stick to it. It takes to long to make major changes when the game is underway. If you find that your strategy is failing, it's the smart commander who runs away to fight another day.
7) Placement can be the most important part of the entire battle. Choose carefully success could be in the hands of one or two key units placed in the right place.
8) Experiment with different armies and unit types unit you find the ones that best suit your style of combat.
9) Watch a few games with the computer moving units, with LOS set to All. This is the best way to see how the computer moves and how to optimize your units strengths and exploit your opponents weakness.
10) If your not sure what something does, press F1 and take a look in help.
11) Charge when able to engage an enemy it causes more damage.
12) Flank and rear attack also cause more damage to the exposed enemy.
Surrender: In any game if losing to badly to the enemy cut your loses and run! This can be done by exiting of the starting edge of the battlefield, or by ending the game with the F10 key.
Important Units:
Standard Bearer: This unit carries your armies standard into battle. This will inspire your units to fight harder. Any unit within it's range will have it's attack value raised. This will be represented by his attack value number turning green and changed to the higher value. If the satandard bearer is killed, any unit from the primary army may pick it up as long as they end the turn next to the spot where it has fallen.
General: This is the most important unit in your army. If he is destroyed, you will lose the battle, and if your playing with a customized army and your general dies the army will disband and you'll have to start again. The general is the rally point for your troops, and can exert his will to make the army fight for him and in many cases fight with increased abilities if he is nearby.
Wizard: The caster of spell, healer and destroyer. This unit can become very powerful, and very costly. Magic can alter the events and outcome of the battle in many ways. Be careful when selecting spells, some may seem to be of little use, but when wielded correctly can be devastating to an opponent. The effects of magic good or bad can be seen in the targets stats. Good effects that add to an stat are reflected by green numbers. Bad effects that reduce a stat are reflected by Red numbers.
Siege Weapons: These are slow large weapons of mass destruction. Generally used to support your army. These units should have additional forces left behind to offer them protection.
Large Expensive Creatures: The behemoths look and are very powerful, but don't be fooled. They like any other unit, still need support of other units. If isolated even the largest can be quickly overwhelmed.
After Battle Review:
When the battle is over you can look at any remaining units still on the field. The win or lose animations will run then the battlefield will be displayed. Use the mouse to select an area to view, left-click to select. Move the cursor over a unit and left-click to view the units stats. Right-click to select a new area. When finished viewing all units right-click again and the Main menu will be displayed.
Note: The charts will now have the final battle info to display.
