UST.DEFEAT YOUR NOT-SO-NOBLE FOE IN.MORT
AL COMBAT. FOR TWO PLAYERS, IT.COMBINES
LUCK AND STRATEGY, OFFENSE.AND DEFENSE,
AND A HEALTHY DOSE OF.THE KILLER INSTIN
CT IN ONE.FAST-MOVING PROGRAM... THE
PLAYING FIELD IS CONSTRUCTED.RANDOMLY AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR,.AND IF THE MA
P IS ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH.PLAYERS, THE BAT
TLE BEGINS. THE MAP.IS A GRID OF NUMBER
S THAT SIMULATE.TYPES OF TERRAIN AND CER
TAIN SPECIAL.LOCALES. THE FIRST DIGIT O
F AREA IS.THE POPULATION OF THAT AREA IN
.HUNDREDS. THE MIDDLE LETTER OF THE.ARE
A IS THE TERRAIN; "S" FOR.SWAMPLAND, "F"
FOR FARMS, AND "L" FOR.LAKE. THE NUMBE
R ON THE RIGHT IS THE.NUMBER OF OCCUPYIN
G TROOPS..THEREFORE, AN AREA DESIGNATED
"4F3".WOULD BE A FARMLAND SUPPORTING 400
.PEOPLE AND OCCUPIED BY THREE TROOPS...
SWAMPS AND LAKES ALWAYS HAVE ZERO.POP
ULATIONS, AND THE COLOR OF THE.AREA INDI
CATES WHICH ARMY OCCUPIES.THE AREA...
THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS ACROSS.THE TOP
AND DOWN THE SIDE ARE.LOCATORS FOR INDIC
ATING WHICH AREA.THE PLAYER WANTS TO IND
ICATE. THE.CAPITOL OF CASTROVIA IS ALWA
YS AT.LOCATION 5E, WHILE THE PLAYERS'.CA
STLES ARE CHOSEN AT RANDOM AT THE.BEGINN
ING OF THE WAR... EACH PLAYER TAKES T
URNS MOVING,.ALTHOUGH EVERY ONCE IN A WH
ILE THE.COMPUTER DEEMS THAT A PLAYER WIL
L.MOVE TWICE IN A ROW. ON YOUR TURN.YOU
WILL BE ASKED FOR THE AREA YOU.WISH TO
MOVE FROM. TYPE NUMBER, THEN.LETTER OF
THE AREA. THEN YOU WILL BE.ASKED FOR TH
E AREA TO WHICH YOU WANT.THE TROOPS TO B
E MOVED. THE NEXT.PROMPT WILL ASK FOR T
HE NUMBER OF.TROOPS. YOU MAY MOVE ANY N
UMBER.BETWEEN 0 AND 9, BUT ONLY IF YOU.A
CTUALLY HAVE THAT MANY TROOPS IN THE.ARE
A. LAKES, BY THE WAY, CANNOT BE.OCCUPIE
D... IF YOU MOVE INTO AN AREA OCCUPIE
D.BY YOUR OPPONENT, A BATTLE WILL.COMMEN
CE. THE PEOPLE OF THE AREA.WILL ALWAYS
ASSIST THE DEFENDER OF.THE AREA. THE RE
LATIVE STRENGTHS OF.EACH FORCE PLUS A RA
NDOM FACTOR WILL.DETERMINE THE OUTCOME O
F THE BATTLE..A POINT TO REMEMBER IS THA
T THE.CAPITOL AND THE RESPECTIVE CASTLES
.ARE FORTIFIED AND WILL REQUIRE TWICE.AS
MUCH OFFENSIVE STRENGTH TO.CAPTURE...
EACH PLAYER STARTS OUT WITH NINE.TROOP
S AT HIS CASTLE, BUT MORE TROOPS.ARE AVA
ILABLE, AT A PRICE. THE.UNIT OF CURRENC
Y OF CASTROVIA IS THE.BARBLE AND EACH AD
DITIONAL TROOP.COSTS 1000 BARBLES (2000
BARBLES IF.YOU WANT THE NEW TROOPS TO BE
PLACED.IN YOUR CASTLE). THE WAY TO.ACC
UMULATE BARBLES IS THROUGH THE.TIME-HONO
RED TRADITION OF TAXATION..EVERY YEAR (A
BOUT FIVE TURNS), TAXES.ARE COLLECTED AN
D A PLAYER RECEIVES A.BARBLE FOR EACH PE
RSON UNDER HIS.CONTROL. THE PLAYER MUST
PLACE ALL.ALL NEW TROOPS, EXCEPT CASTLE
TROOPS,.IN A SINGLE AREA UNDER HIS CONT
ROL... A PLAYER MAY LOSE HIS CASTLE A
ND.SURVIVE BUT MAY COLLECT NO TAXES.UNTI
L HE HAS WON HIS CASTLE BACK..TAXES NOT
