Changes To "Civil War" since the manual was printed =================================================== Version 1.0.26, 25th May 1995 ============================= Keyboard Shortcuts ------------------ Arrow keys: Scroll the map window up/down/left/right + : Zoom in - : Zoom out Space : On the Campaign Screen, toggle between resource and troop mode. Return : On most popup boxes Return will be the same as clicking OK. Escape : On most popup boxes, Escape will be the same as clicking CANCEL. Escape : In other places, Escape will allow you to quit the program. Serial/Modem Play: ------------------ You can change the IRQ settings for the comms ports by clicking on the part of the serial settings box that displays the IRQ number for the port and typing in the correct IRQ setting. The IRQ settings and default port number are saved in a configuration file (ACW.INI) so that you only need to set it up once. If you are using a serial mouse, then the comms port that it is attached to is automatically disabled. Saved Games ----------- When you save your game position, they are saved into the same directory that you installed Civil War. If you are playing by yourself against the computer, then they will have an extension of .SAV If you are playing against another player via Modem, Serial or IPX, then the filename will have an extension of .SV2 Playing on a 4 Mb Machine ------------------------- If you only have 4 Mb of memory in your machine, then a different version of the game is run, which uses less memory. The only difference is that when you select the encyclopedia, it will exit from the main game and load up a seperate Encyclopedia program. This means that: - Selecting the Encyclopedia may result in a delay of a few seconds while it is loading. - While it loads you see a blank screen with a flashing cursor! - The music stops and restarts when the encyclopedia is loaded. - If you select Encyclopedia from the Realism settings screen, then when you exit the Encylopedia you will go back to the main menu instead of remaining at the Realism Screen. Quitting to Dos --------------- Pressing ESCAPE will give you the option to quit to Dos. This will not work while processing the AI in a Campaign game. BUILDINGS WHICH IMPROVE TROOP TRAINING TIME: -------------------------------------------- Training Camp : Reduces the time to train new regiments by 30% Recruitment Centre: Reduces time by 20% Current Army List ----------------- The lines connecting a unit with its commander can be drawn in 4 different ways to show whether they are acting indendantly from their commander.

Thick Line: Unit is attached to its commander. 2 Thin lines: Unit is independant, but is attempting to rejoin his commander. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL SUPPORT HELPLINE: If you have problems with loading or installing Civil War, then please attempt to read through the available documentation one more time.
