Each player begins the game with a mere four armies and no cities; as the game progresses, your strength will build as you conquer new cities. Getting Cities: To conquer a city (*), simply enter it with your army. After you have touched the city, it will become a capital letter, signifying that it belongs to you. You do not need to sit in your city for the rest of the turn or anything, the city will remain yours until someone else takes it over. Getting New Armies: Every three days, you will receive armies equal to the number of cities you own. For example, if you own three cities, you will be given three new armies. If you miss the turn when you should get new armies, don`t worry; you will still receive the new armies, but equal to the CURRENT number of cities you own. For example, if you had three cities after three days, then lost one, and then you played, you would only get two new armies instead of three. The new armies are placed in an "Army Buffer." At the beginning of your turn, you have the option to place all or none of your new armies. Restraints on placing new armies: 1) New Armies MUST be placed in one of your cities. 2) There may never be more than 9 armies per square. Commands for placing armies: If you have armies to place, the game will ask you if you wish to place new armies. Choosing "Yes" brings you to the New Army segment. The map will pop up, and the cursor will be selected on one of your cities. At the bottom, will be a line similar to the following: "Armies: 2 Army # 1(5) < > : Change City (1-9) Place Army (ESC) aborts" This tells you the following: There are 2 armies already in the current location. You are placing new army #1 out of 5 total new armies. > or . - Will select a new city towards the bottom (if it exists) < or , - Will select a new city towards the top 1 to 9 - Place army. Pressing 1 will place 1 army in the city, and 9 will place 9 armies. You are restriced to 9 armies total in one city. ESC - Abort the New Army procedure and continue on to the Move Army phase of the game.':return Merging print #0,' Splitting Armies / Creating Boats ----------------------------------- What if you have a stack of nine armies in one square, and you wish to split them up into several different units? Clash of Arms provides a Split Army phase to allow you to do this. Before moving your armies, at the bottom of the screen will be the prompt "Split Armies [Y]/N ? ". Simply press return if you do not wish to split any armies at this time. If you type "Y", then the cursor will appear on the map. Move the cursor to the army which you want to split up using the same movement keys as if you were searching the map. QWE 789 These keys are: A D 4 6 to move one square, and ZXC 123 I J K to move several squares at a time. M Using these keys, move the cursor on top of the army you wish to split and press <CR>. As long as there are at least 2 armies in this location, then the status line on the bottom will prompt you to select the destination to split to. This location must be: 1) Adjacent to the source army that is being split. 2) Must be land or a boat. 3) You may not split into unoccupied cities, enemy armies, or impassable terrain. Select your destination (once again, it must be adjacent to the army you are splitting), and press <CR> when you are ready. You will be asked how many armies you would like to split. Simply type in the number, and Clash of Arms will perform the split for you. Typing ESC will exit the Split routine and let you continue to the move army phase of the game. Note: The new army that is split off may not split again. That is, if you split an army of 9 into another army of 8, you are not allowed to split the army of 8 until your next turn. Additionally, the new army that is formed will not be allowed to move in the movement phase of the game. You will have to wait until the next turn to move this new army. Creating Boats: Creating boats is a special feature of the Split Army routine. At times, it may be necessary for you to create a boat. This is possible, but it will cost you armies. To make a boat, you MUST have 9 armies in a square that is adjacent to water. Select your source as these nine armies, and your destination as the adjacent water. If you have enough armies, Clash of Arms will ask if you wish to create a boat. Typing in "Y" will create a boat in the square of water chosen as your destination. Creating a boat, however, costs you 8 armies. Since you are required to have 9 armies to initiate the creation of a boat, you will be left with one army in your original source location. Merging/Splitting Armies -------------------------- Often, you will wish to consolidate several armies into one powerful army. The Merge Phase allows you to do this. After you have moved your armies, Clash of Arms will prompt you if you wish to Merge armies together. If you answer No, you will return to the main menu. Answering "Yes" will put the cursor on the map and prompt you to select a source. Use the movement keys to select a source to Merge your armies from, and press <CR>. Then, select your destination army to Merge to. The two armies you wish to merge must be adjacent. Finally, you will be prompted to type in the number of armies you wish to merge. You may not have more than 9 armies in one square. The commands and the format for selecting your source and destination are exactly the same as in the SPLIT phase of the game. You may not repeatedly merge armies together; once an army has been merged to, it cannot be merged again. Press ESC to exit the Merge Phase and return to the main menu.':return Attacking print #0,' Attacking Opponents --------------------- Combat occurs during the movement phase of the game. To attack another player, simply move your army on top of your opponents. When this happens, the status line at the bottom of the screen will tell you how the battle is progressing. Each army in your attacking group may attack once. For example, if you have 6 armies in your attacking group and your opponent has 4, then each army may attack once for a total of six attempts to destroy the 4 armies. You may break off your attack at any time by pressing ESC. Press CR to continue the attack. Should you win, your opponent will be wiped off the map and you will occupy his old spot. Possible outcomes of individual battles: (20%) 1) Your army killed. (30%) 2) Attack Repelled (Nobody killed). (20%) 3) His army killed (I hope there are no feminists out there). (30%) 4) Both armies killed. * - percentages are given in the case that both opponents are evenly matched (attacker and defender have the same # of armies). Modifications to percentages: For every additional army that you have over your opponent, your chances of winning go up by approximately 3%. For example, if you have 9 armies attacking and your opponent has 5 defending, your chances of winning are increased by 4 * 3 = 12%. For every additional army your opponent has over you, your chances of winning decrease by approximately 3%. When attacking armies in a city, the defending city has a 10% better chance of defending himself. Dead Armies: When other players attack and kill your armies during their turn, the number of armies killed is saved. Clash of Arms will inform you who killed your armies, and how many they have killed since the last time you played.':return Diplomacy print #0,' Diplomacy ----------- Notice that there are three players per hemisphere. What if two players were to form a treaty and agree to fight the third player? The result would be disaster for the third player. Forming treaties, alliances, and holding negotiations can be an important factor in the game. In order to facilitate this, Clash of Arms provides a Diplomacy Section to allow you to communicate with other players of the game. To access the Diplomacy Section, type in "D" from the main menu. The commands are as follows: R) Read Messages. Choose this option to read any messages you may have. Upon entering the game, you will be notified if there are any messages waiting for you, and will automatically bring you to this section. S) Send Messages. Choose this option to send a diplomatic message to other commanders. You have the option of specifying the players Name, User Number, or Player Letter. Player letter is the most convenient - for example, if you wish to negotiate with player A, you can simply type in "A" as the receiver of your message. N) New Diplomacy Notice. This is a simple one-line message you put outside your embassy. Anyone who sends you a message will see your notice. It could be a warning, a reminder, or anything you want to say in one line. D) Show Diplomacy Notice. This simply shows other users` diplomacy Notices. I) Ignore messages. If you wish to sever all relations with another player, you may choose this option. When prompted, type in the name of the commander you wish to ignore, and he will be unable to send any messages to you. This is useful if you are getting a lot of "hate mail" or if you are simply angry at another player. For additional help, type in ? while in the Diplomacy Section. Finally, remember that Diplomacy can be a powerful tool in vanquishing your enemies ; but in the end, there can only be one Ruler of the World.':return Winning print #0,' Winning/Losing ---------------- Every game will have a winner...and five losers. When a player has lost his last army and city, he will be removed from the game, until there is only one player left. That player will be declared the conquerer of the world and his name will be added to the hall of fame. When you win or lose, the event will be displayed to everyone at the beginning of the game, and you will be able to join another game immediatly.':return link.term link "a:war.start","termgame"
