     There are a maximum of 40 groups per side allowed on the battlefield
     at any given time.  Each group is limited to a maximum of 50 members.
     If you ever have trouble trying to deploy a group from your barracks,
     it will be because the maximum troop limit has been reached.

     The Range Display for missile troops available in the OPTIONS menu,
     is only visible from the STATEGIC VIEW (F3 view)
     
     When marking areas for the construction or use of siege equipment,
     the highlighted box will change in color from yellow to brown if
     the area is unsuitable for the task you are trying to accomplish.
     
     While the interface of WALLS OF ROME is similar to SIEGE, there are
     a number of changes to the interface (for example: in SIEGE, 'A'=
     Attack, WALLS 'A' command is "Advance" which replaces the 'Go' command 
     used in SIEGE) as well as addition of a number of new command options. 
     
     Caution! Greek Fire is extreamly dangerous...use with care... :)
