Battlefield is a little unclear about the mansion setup. Please do EXACTLY what it says when it asks your for the bbs path and name. It will automatically look in the Mansion Data folder for the Switch file.
New Features:
Auto-Reset
----------
The SysOp may now choose to run the game in a tournament mode. This was added to keep the same game from getting stale, and making the sysop reset it manually. Just select a number of days to run the game before it resets, and leave it alone. It will inform the user how much longer the current game will last. After that time, the game will reset, after writing out a special scores file. This file uses the BattleField Victories name, which means each user will see it upon entering the game.
Hiding in Castle
--------------
A user may hide in his castle now. If he chooses to do so, his army stays on the outside of the castle, vulnerable to attack. Working with this is a cap on the number of warriors that can be put in a castle. The larger the castle, the more warriors, with a max of 40000. That way, the user doesn’t shove all his men into the castle and leave one guy outside. If a user is inside his castle when his army is taken out, he doesn’t lose his armor and weapon (if applicable). If the attacker then takes the CASTLE, however, he will lose his weapons and armor. This is based on the premise that the leader IS the army, and the army itself is a bunch of idiotic doofs.
New Sectors
-----------
There are 16 new sectors on the board. They contain 16 castles, which the user will see in a natural progression, from easiest to hardest. He will see each castle only once. If he should take out all 16 castles, he will WIN the game. (I don’t expect this to happen often) Each castle will give him TONS of stuff when he takes it. It DOES, however, get much harder as time goes on. I put this in as a little incentive for the users to increase themselves.
What to tell the users
--------------------
Well, first, reset the game that you’ve got. The game will automatically make you re-set up the options file. Make a note to the users to the effect of:
HINT: Play with teleporters, and watch CLOSE!
Meaning that the teleporters are the key to the 16 Keeper Castles. There is one chance in five that the user will end up in the 16 sectors. Let them take it from there.
