Playing Conflict
---------------
The playing of Conflict is divided into the following phases:
Distribution, Attack, and Reinforce. The explanations follow...
<Distribution Phase>
At the begining of every turn you are given some legions. You get
1 legion for every 3 countries you own, with a minimum of 3 legions per
turn. (So if you only have 1 country you still get 3 Legions.) You can
also get extra legions by holding an entire continent for a day. However,
The amount of legions you get depends on what continent you hold. For a
map of the continents and their value per turn in legions, press L when
playing Conflict.
To give out these legions, just put the mouse pointer on a country
YOU own and press the left mouse button. Your countries will be GREEN, and
Conflict will also display your GAME NAME in the 2 status lines at the
top of the screen, if you point at a country you own.
<Notes>
Pressing C will not exit the distribution phase. You must give out
all your extra legions, before you can continue to the attack phase.
Pressing the Left Mouse Button while pointing at an Enemy Country
will make a bell go off. (When you do anything wrong this happens)
<Attack Phase>
After you have distributed your new legions, you will go directly
into the attack phase. If you don't wish to attack anyone, then press C
and you will go to the next phase. (Reinforce) If you want to attack
someone, then chose a country that you want to launch the attack from by
putting the mouse pointer on it and pressing the left mouse button. If
you do not own this country or you only have one legion in it, then a bell
will go off telling you did something wrong. (You MUST have AT LEAST 2
legions in a country to attack someone from it.) After you have selected
wich country to attack from or the base country, then select an enemy
country bordering or connected by a white line to it and HOLD DOWN the
left mouse button. (You MUST keep the left mouse button depress through
the entire attack.) Now the attack is on! The countries will battle it out
and you can keep track of both the Enemy Countries and Your losses. If
you are losing too many legions, to abort the attack just lift up on the
left mouse button.
When you attack a country the odds are like this... You both role a
nine sided die once. If the attacker rolls an equal or greater number than
the defender, then the defender will loose a legion. If the defender roles
a greater number, then the attacker will loose a legion. (The computer does
all this without you seeing it.)
If you wipe out all of the enemy country's legions, then 1 of your
legions will be placed into that country and a small menu will appear
at the top of the screen. If you press the right mouse button, you will
transfer a legion from the base country to the captured one. If you press
the left button a legion from the captured country will be transfered to
the base country. (You MUST have AT LEAST one Legion in each country.)
Press the space bar to return to the Attack phase again.
<Note>
To enter the next phase (Reinforce), just press C
<Reinforce>
In this phase you move your legions from places of little importance
to the fronts. The only draw back is you must move your forces to a
bordering FRIENDLY country. (You cannont move them to enemy countries) To
do this, just put the mouse pointer on a country you own and press the
left mouse button, then put the pointer on another country you own
BORDERING or connected to it by a white line. Now a small menu should
apear on top of your screen. Pressing the right mouse button takes a
legion away from the base country and gives it to the other country and
the left mouse button does the opposite. Pressing the Space bar will
exit, so you can choose another country to reinforce.
<Note>
Pressing C again will return you to the Menu. (Turn over...)
If you have Captured all of the Countries, you will be notified
when you return to the Conflict Main Menu. The Game will be reset and
your Dictator Name will appear in the news file as the Victor, until the
next game starts.
