Agreements/Treaties>
  `0Agreements/Treaties `9- This is where you send and actually
  make alliances within the game.  These alliances will help benefit
  the realms involved, so don't hesitate to make them.

 `!Peace Treaty `9- Basically, this treaty is what it says.  It puts rest
 `9the worries of war and creates a calm in the minds of the population.
 `![`9This treaty helps bring in more people per turn`!]

 `!Magic Alliance `9- This alliance allows you to gain your ally''s spells,
 but they also get yours.  These new spells cost almost double the mana to cast,
 but most often, the diversity of new spells is well worth it.

 `!Magic Defense Alliance `9- This alliance combines your ally''s magic power
 with yours to form an intricate defense against enemy magic attacks that
 endanger your empire.  This alliance will lessen or totally dissipate the
 harmful spell.

 `!Military Defense Alliance `9- This alliance pledges 15% of your army to your
 ally when attacked.  The same protection is also given to you in return.

<MORE
 `!Preservation Pact `9- This alliance halts all decay in trade deals.  Normally
 `goods decay at a slow rate, but this alliance stops all decay.

 `!Agricultural Production Treaty `9- The farmers of your ally''s realm and yours
 work together to increase farming production to it''s maximum output.

 `!Economic Production Treaty `9- The gold miners of your empire work with your
 ally''s miners to discuss various things that enhance the gold production of your
 empire.

 `!Arms Production Treaty `9- This treaty increases the number of weapons and armour
 produced by your miners and your ally''s.

 `!Covert Relations Treaty `9- The spies of both realms work together to plot
 strategic strategies relating to covert ops.  This treaty increases protection
 against enemy spies while boosting your success rate of your spies.

 `!Mana Production Treaty `9- This treaty brings together the priests of your
 ally''s realm and yours to spread the word of their god over a greater distance,
 thus bringing in more followers and more mana.

Tips>
  `0Tips `9- Read the section on `!How to Play`9, it will help you ALOT if
 you have no idea what is going on.  It may look long, but by reading it
 or even parts of it, you'll gain a better understanding of how to play
 and how the game works.
 `0Special Keys `9- Here is a list of special keys and when they are used.
 `!> `9Specifies maximum value when entering a number.
 `!< `9Specifies minimum value when entering a number.

       `9k will enter the value 1000).
 `!m `9Appends 6 zeros to the number.
 `!h `9Appends 2 zeros to the number.
<MORE
 `%Note:  `9If you are to lazy to read `!How to Play`9, ask someone else,
 and/or follow these guidelines:
 `!1.`9  Buy Land.
 `!2.`9  Send Out Search parties to claim more land.
 `!3.`9  Pump your army up lots.
 `!4.`9  Stock up on mana, it does mana things (army, spells, etc).
 `!5.`9  Use Treaties and Agreements, they promote growth.
 `!6.`9  Use your spells at the correct times.  They were designed to deadly
     when used strategically.
 `!7.`9  Visit the market frequently, you can get good prices for your extra
     goods.
 `!8.`9  COMMUNICATE and trade with other players.  They might be able to
     send you goods when you are struggling and help you out on how to
     play better.
<END

Forge>
 `0Forge `9- This is where a God(dess) forges their weapons and armour for
`9battle.  Since God(dess) vs. God(dess) is equally like human vs. human
`9they need to use magical armour and weapons forged by their own magic to
`9offset the balance of power.  Mana is used to forge and create the weapons
`9and armour, as money has no value in the land of godkind.

 `9You will create your weapon and armour by naming it, then by gradually
`9increasing the amount of mana infused within the object.  Thus, as your
`9realm grows in strength you will produce more mana.  The more mana you
`9infuse into the object the more power it has.  However, power will gradually
`9leak out of the object in time, but at a slow rate.  Keeping your weapon
`9and armour continually in top shape will keep you alive in battle.
<END

Casting Spells>
 `0Casting Spells `9- Casting spells is what you do.  You're a god(dess)!
 Various Spells do various things.  Some may hurt and inflict damage, while
 others heal and protect.  (For spells descriptions see `!spell list`9).
 From the casting menu, choose which deity of spells you which to cast (to
 get more, propose `!magic alliances`9).  The spells available for that
 deity will then come up.  Select a spell to cast and you will see a brief
 description of the spell come up.  Follow the instructions next (usually
 choose a realm to cast upon) and you will cast the spell if you have enough
 mana.  Cost is based upon the realm the spell is being casted upon.   The
 bigger the realm, the more it will cost and vice versa.  Some of these
 spells, if used strategically with right timing, can totally disable an
 enemy before a mass attack.
<END

How To Play>
                           `0Armageddon
  `!About the Game `9- In Armageddon, you, the player, are a god(dess),
 ruler over the mortals, a being of raw power.  You lead forth your
 people and build your realm for the inevitable day of Armageddon, the
 final conflict between good and evil.  Your choices and actions will
 influence what side you will be on, and the more powerful you are the
 more of a chance you stand at being alive at the end of the battle.
  `!Starting the Game `9- At the very start of the game you will be
 asked to choose a deity.  This is your "subject".  You will rule that
 deity and all that follow it.  Your deity will give you your spells,
 as different deities have different spells and all players are not
 restricted to all the same spells.  Example deities are Love, Hate, War,
 Death, Disorder etc.
  `!The Start of an Empire `9- Once a deity is picked, you will be
 taken to the main menu after a news and mail check.  The main menu will
 present you with various choices.  All realms need people to run it, and
 those people need food to eat and land to live in.  Land will dictate
 how much people a player can have in their realm.  You have to options
 for acquiring land.  One is to buy it.  That is the easiest and safest
 way of getting land if you can afford it.  You can access this option
 from the `!Construction `9menu.  The other way of getting land is to
<MORE
 `9send out searching parties to expand your realm.  This way may be less
 costly but it is certainly more risky.  The party may be confronted by
 dangerous perils and enemies and disaster may strike them.  However,
 they may also stumble upon rare treasures on the quest for land.  The
 party will require food for their journey away from their homes.  Hint:
 Always take as many civilians as you can manage.  The more you take the
 more land you will discover.  Always take a military escort in case you
 are confronted by monsters.  You can access the Expand Realm choice in
 the `!Military Menu`9.
  `!Building your Empire `9- You build you empire by acquiring land and
 people.  But, you must `!take turns `9to gain the people.  When taking
 a turn (press 1 on main menu) it functions like the passing of time and
 all of your choices and decisions will take effect when this option is
 accessed.  You begin the turn by assigning your people to various
 chores:  Farming, Mining and Preaching.  Farming produces food, a most
 valuable resource in the game.  Mining produces the gold, armour and
 weapons necessary to run a realm.  Preaching produces the mana that
 will function as gold in some places, but most importantly mana is used
 for `!Spell Casting`9.  By continuing to buy land, build an army and
 gain people, your realm will grow prosperous and powerful.
<MORE
  `!Attacking and Defending your Empire `9- As you grow more powerful,
 so may the people around you, and as always, someone will become greedy.
 They will attack other players and try to take resources with brute
 force.  By keeping your army strong when you are done playing for the
 day keeps your defense at it's maximum, pitting your whole army versus
 an invader.  Various monuments and castle parts (see later) will help
 increase military offense and defense.  You will be sent a report of
 the attack the next time you enter the game.  If the greedy person
 happens to be you, then to attack you enter the `!Military Menu`9 and
 access options 1 or 2 (Standard and Massive Attacks).  A standard attack
 is a hit and run operation while the siege option is a mass battle
 requiring a stock of resources, army units and supplies.  Sieges
 are not recommended for attempts to take resources.  They are more of a
 way of killing an empire and they may require many days or weeks of playing
 time to complete.
  `!More help `9- These are just the basics needed to survive the game.
 By exploring the game and it's options, you will learn more than I can
 write in this long boring help text.  If necessary, there is a help-by-topic
 option in the main menu.  It will give you more help on some options I
 may have not covered here.
<MORE
  `!REGISTER! `9- To register this game and pay money for my hard work is
 well recommended by the author, me.  Please register.  More functions will
 be put into play to benefit your empire!  By registering this will inspire
 me to make more games like these.  If you have not enough money yourself,
 get everyone to pitch in a set amount to lessen the cost for everyone!
 If 20 people play, then say, "Okay, everyone pay 1 Canadian dollar and
 we'll get this awesome game registered!".  Good idea eh?  Help your Sysop
 register!  Oh, and if you have any `!suggestions/comments/complaints/

Protection>
  `0Protection `9- Protection gives a realm time to grow and prevents
  larger players from attacking the new country, thereby giving the
  new player a fighting chance.  Some functions will be unavailable like
  Attacking, spying and spells, until the player is out of protection.
<END

Take Turn>
  `0Take Turn `9- The take turn option is used when all possible actions
  for that turn have been executed.  It moves to a new turn where new
  actions can be planned.  During the turn-shift, people may
  come to or leave your realm.  When you take the next turn, your
  people work and create resources essential to running your realm.
  Also, enchantments in play are usually put into effect when taking
  the next turn.
<END

                          soldiers and resources to carry out.  It
                          can last many days, but could be well
                          worth it.
  `0Enlistment        `9- This is where you sign up your people into
                          the army.  It will cost a certain amount
                          of armour and weapons to put people into
                          different categories.
  `0Expand Your Reign `9- This is where you create a search party
                          and seek out new land for your empire.

                          quest, but growth is essential.

Construction>
  `0Construction `9- In this menu, you can start construction on
  castle parts and repair broken monuments and gifts.  You can either

  costly, covert operations make a formidable weapon.
<END

Pain In The Ass>
  `0Pain In The Ass `9- This game has been a pain in the ass for me
  to make.  It's taken me sooo long and I'm almost done as of 6:14
  pm, Feb. 16, 1997..  So, please register if you already haven't and
  make me a happy man.  I've had so much troubles trying to get this
  damn game together..  Data Segment Too Large, and Code Segment too
  large and Heap Overflow error codes are coming out my ears!  But
  finally..  It's almost done..  Almost..  <G>
  If you have any suggestions or anything, keep them to yourself!
  I can't stuff anything more into this game! <G>  No, just kidding
  tell them to me, and I'll try my best to squeeze it into the game.
  Have fun!
  -Brad Carson
<END

Spell Casting>
  `0Spell Casting `9- Casting spells are what gods do, and spells are
  your main weapon!  Spells need mana to cast.  Preachers generate
  mana as do some monuments.  Each spell has a different effect
  (well some are the same.  You try and make 115 different spells! <G>)
  and you can even learn some of other gods spells too, but at twice
  the cost.
<END

Attack Units>
  `0Attack Units `9- These are the soldiers that defend and conquer in
  your name.  They are essential in any realm.

  The 5 Units are described as follows:
  `0Infantry        `9- The Infantry are the foot soldiers who are
                        the weakest of the five, however, they are

  `0Calvary         `9- The Calvary are the mounted warriors who
                        fight on their horses.  They are more stronger

  `0Bowmen          `9- The Bowmen (Bowwomen <G>) are the people
                        who shoot arrows at the enemy.  They are weak,
                        but the arrows they shoot are deadly.
  `0Demi-Gods       `9- The most powerful army unit, the demi-gods
                        are skilled in magic.  They are strong

  `0Siege-Machines  `9- The siege-machines are such things as
                        catapults, ballistas etc.  which fire long
                        range projectiles for maximum damage.  They
                        are second only to the Demi-Gods.
<END
Castles>
  `0Castle `9- Your castle is the center of your realm.  It only comes into
  effect when a siege is being launched against you, otherwise it has no
  effect.  Each part built on to it has special defense and/or offense

  restriction.

                    an invading enemy, as they impale those trying to
                    breach the walls.  The Palisade has a damage rating
