INTRODUCTION ------------ 'Chaos' is a fantasy strategy game for one to four players. Each player takes control of a wizard and uses his magical abilities to fulfil his objectives. The main objective in each scenario is to survive until a portal appears and then escape through the portal to 'Limbo'. The concept of this game originated in the game 'Chaos', which is also available. LEARNING TO PLAY 'LORDS OF CHAOS' --------------------------------- STARTING THE GAME Select the number of wizards to participate and select the level of any computer controlled wizards (from 1 to 8). For each wizard enter a name, computer or human control, a character shape and a colour. 'Chaos' is played in a series of game turns. Each turn is played in three phases; the spell selection phase, the casting phase and the movement and combat phase. KEYS Q Up A Down O Left P Right SPACE Fire or select a joystick option MOVEMENT Move the cursor over one of your creatures and choose the SELECT-G option from the menu. Now move the cursor into one of the eight spaces around the creature and press FIRE. The creature will move into the space where the cursor was. If you press FIRE when the cursor is on top of the creature, or more than one space away, then the menu will appear. To finish moving, move the cursor on top of the creature you were moving and press FIRE. The menu should appear so that you can select the END MOVE option to return to cursor mode. You can always go back to a creature after selecting END MOVE. NOTE - You can not move any creatures on the first turn. It is only possible to cast spells and pick up and use any objects you happen to be standing on. COLLECTING OBJECTS To pick up an object, select a creature using SELECT-G and press FIRE to bring up the menu. Select the PICK UP option from the menu (if there is no such option then either the creature is not standing on any object or they don't have enough Action Points). The screen will display the name and weight of each object on the floor. On the top line the wizard's weight limit is displayed. This is the amount of extra weight he can carry. Use the UP and DOWN controls to highlight the object you wish to pick up and press FIRE. If you don't want to pick up any more objects press FIRE when the cancel option is highlighted. Only creatures with 'hands' can carry objects, so don't try to make a unicorn pick things up, for example. Creatures can carry more than one object, but only one object can be 'in use' at any time. The object in use is always the last one picked up. However, you can change the object in use by selecting the CHANGE option from the menu. Now that your creature has picked up an object you will see that there are a number of other options in the menu. The options DROP, THROW-A and THROW-G always act on the object in use. FLYING Some creatures can fly, but only if they are out in the open. When you select FLY the cursor changes to a blue cursor with wings. A flying creature moves in the same way as a creature on the ground but always pays the same Action Point cost for moving and can fly over impassable terrain. It can only be attacked by other creatures in the air, or by thrown weapons, bows or spells. Once in the air the LAND option is available, but only if there is no creature directly below or the terrain is suitable (you cannot land on the roof of a wizard's house). In order to select a flying creature for movement the SELECT- A option is used. When you have a flying creature in the same space as a creature on the ground there are two select options available; SELECT-A for airborne creatures and SELECT-G for creatures on the ground. RIDING There are a few creatures which can be ridden by others. This is particularly useful for your wizard. The unicorn, pegasus, gryphon and elephant can be ridden by wizards, pixies, dwarves, goblins or trolls. In order to ride another creature move over a mount and select the RIDE option. After this option is selected the mount becomes the selected creature and you can move it together with the rider. If you want to select the rider for any actions then choose the RIDER option from the menu. DEALING WITH THE ENEMY When you find an enemy creature and move one of your creatures next to it you will become 'engaged' to it. This means that you cannot move unless you kill the creature. In order to attack the creature you must move into it. You can do this as long as your creature has enough Action Points and Stamina left. The computer automatically calculates the results of combat and whether the defending creature has a return attack. WINNING THE GAME Each scenario has specific objectives (see info at end of file), but there are always the same objectives of confronting the enemy wizard, destroying him and successfully escaping from the world. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ----------------------- The five icons at the top of the information display indicate some characteristics of the creature under the cursor as follows (from left to right): UNDEAD........ An undead creature can only be harmed by other undead creatures, magic weapons or spells FLYING........ Indicates that the creature has the ability to fly whether by natural ability (wings) or flying potion MOUNT......... The creature can be ridden by wizards, pixies, dwarves, goblins or trolls FATAL WOUND... When a creature suffers a single blow causing more than 25% of its constitution to be lost then it suffers a fatal wound. This causes a steady decrease in constitution from turn to turn unless a healing potion is consumed. INVISIBLE..... The creature is invisible to all enemy creatures The bar graph icons represent the following (from left to right): ACTION POINTS. These are used up performing all types of actions STAMINA....... This presents the physical fitness of the creature. Some actions, such as movement or combat, consume stamina. A certain amount of stamina is recovered each turn. If it goes below a certain level the creature becomes exhausted and only receives half its Action Point Allowance each turn CONSTITUTION.. When constitution reaches zero a creature is killed. If it falls below 50% then Action Points, Combat and Defence are affected COMBAT........ The attacking capability of a creature, taking into account weapons in use and potions consumed DEFENCE....... The defensive capability of a creature taking into account weapons or shields carried and potions consumed MENU ---- CURSOR MODE The following option are available in cursor mode: SELECT-A...... Select an airborne creature for movement and other actions SELECT-G...... Select a creature on the ground for movement and other actions NEXT.......... Move the cursor and map window onto another friendly creature and display its characteristics INFORM........ Display the characteristics of the creature under the cursor BIG MAP....... Display a strategic map. This map shows about half of the entire world with the map window position indicated by a flashing square. Key to symbols: ^ (triangle) = wizard o (circle) = ground creature >< (two triangles) = flying creature [] (square) = object (red) END TURN...... End the current wizard's turn CANCEL........ Cancel menu and return to cursor movement SELECT MODE In select mode nearly all the menu options are actions that can be carried out by the selected creature. If an option is not in the menu than the creature is unable to perform the action due to inability or lack of Action Points. When a creature has moved on top of another friendly creature on the same level then there are usually only four options available - END MOVE, CENTRE, BIG MAP and CANCEL. END MOVE...... End the creatures selection. If the creature is on top of a friendly creature at the same altitude then the creature is put back to a previous position which is empty (or back to the mount which it came from). CENTRE........ Centre the cursor and map window over the selected creature. BIG MAP....... Display the strategic map RIDE.......... Ride a mount. The creature must be eligible to ride mounts and have sufficient Action Points. The mount must not already have a rider. When this option is chosen the mount becomes the selected creature and the rider is deselected. RIDER......... Select a rider for actions. A rider can perform any action that it can normally do (including close combat) except PICK UP. In order to pick up objects the rider must move off the mount first. If the mount is flying then the rider cannot move off until the mount lands. CAST-A........ Cast a spell at a position in the air. CAST-G........ Cast a spell at a position on the ground. All summon and potion spells must use this option. DROP.......... Drop the object in use. CHANGE........ Change the object in use. When this option is selected all objects carried are displayed. The object currently in use is highlighted. Use the UP and DOWN controls to select the desired object and press FIRE. PICK UP....... Pick up objects on the floor. Use the UP and DOWN controls to highlight the object you wish to pick up and press FIRE. If you don't want to pick up any more objects press FIRE when the cancel option is highlighted. EAT........... Eat the object in use. Only objects such as apples and mushrooms are edible. DRINK......... If there is a vial of potion in use then the contents are consumed. If the creature is standing over a cauldron of potion then some of the potion is drunk. FILL.......... If a creature has an empty vial in use and it is standing on a cauldron full of potion then the vial will be filled. USE........... This option can do a number of things. When it is selected a yellow cursor with an arrow appears. Move the cursor onto the terrain or object you wish to affect and press FIRE. The following conditions apply: 1. If there is a closed door it will be opened. 2. If there is a locked door and the creature has a door key in use then it will be unlocked and the key will disappear. 3. If there is a closed chest it will be opened. 4. If there is a locked chest and the creature has a chest key in use then the chest will be unlocked and the key will disappear. 5. If there is a special object in use then it can have various effects depending on its type. Consult the scenario instructions for your expansion kits. THROW-A....... Throw the object in use at a target position in the air. When you select this object the yellow arrow cursor will appear. Move the cursor to the desired target position and press FIRE to throw the object. The error message "no line of sight" will appear if the target position cannot be seen by the throwing creature. If you want to cancel throwing then position the cursor over the throwing creature and press FIRE. You can only move the cursor as far as the creature can throw. This depends on the strength of the creature and the weight of the object. THROW-G....... Throw the object in use at a target position on the ground. The procedure is the same as for THROW-A except that different line of sight rules apply. FIRE-A........ Fire a ranged weapon (or flame breath) at a target position in the air. The yellow arrow cursor will appear which can be moved within the range limit of the weapon. The procedure is exactly the same as for THROW-A. FIRE-G........ Fire a ranged weapon (or flame breath) at a target position on the ground. The procedure is the same as FIRE-A except that different line of sight rules apply. READ.......... If the object in use is a scroll then it can be read. CANCEL........ Cancel the menu and return to creature movement. LINE OF SIGHT ------------- The computer calculates line of sight ie it determines whether a creature can see another creature or object. The hidden movement system uses line of sight calculations as you move your creatures around the map. You will only see enemy creatures if there is a clear line of sight to them. SEEING DISTANCE A creature on the ground can see a distance of 9 spaces. A creature in the air can see a distance of 11 spaces. ROOFS An airborne creature will not be able to see a creature on the ground, or vice versa, if there is a roof over the creature on the ground. Most buildings have roofs over them. GROUND LEVEL When seeing from a ground position to a ground position then any intervening terrain can block line of sight, depending on its type. Walls, tall grass, and trees are the main obstacles to line of sight on the ground. AERIAL RECONNAISSANCE Flying creatures' vision is not normally blocked by intervening terrain, but they will have difficulty seeing into covered terrain such as magic wood, shadow wood or tall grass. Creatures on the ground can only be seen if the flying creature is adjacent to them. Objects can not be seen at all in covered terrain. COMBAT ------ Conflicts will inevitably arise in 'Lords of Chaos'. They can only be resolved by combat. Each creature has a combat and defence rating. When a creature attacks by moving into an enemy, its combat value is compared to the defender's defence value and the damage is calculated involving a random factor. ENGAGED TO ENEMY When one of your creatures moves next to an enemy it cannot move any further during the current turn unless it kills all enemy creatures next to it. It is always possible, however, to move on the next turn. If a creature becomes engaged while on top of a friendly creature the END MOVE option must be selected because you cannot attack unless you are in an empty space. The only exception to this is when a rider is selected. If you try to attack then the message "attack not allowed" appears. WEAPONS You will find various weapons in each of the scenarios. If a weapon is in use then it will add a certain amount to the creature's combat. Shields, and weapons to some extent, will add to defence but they do not have to be the object in use. Weapons can also be thrown at enemy creatures. Each weapon has a thrown combat value (see weapons chart). RETURN ATTACKS If a creature is attacked and has some Action Points and Stamina remaining it will fight back automatically. If you wish to make use of this defensive ability be careful to save some Action Points when you move creatures. DAMAGE AND FATAL WOUNDS When a creature's constitution reaches zero it is killed. If a creature suffers a single blow causing more than 25% damage then it gets a fatal wound. This means that the creature will suffer a slow but steady loss of constitution until it dies or drinks a healing potion. Eating apples helps restore constitution but does not affect fatal wounds. THE UNDEAD Undead creatures are not living in the normal sense. They are either ethereal beings or dead creatures animated by powerful magic. An undead creature can only be damaged by other undead creatures, magic weapons or spells. ATTACKING TERRAIN If a creature bumps into impassable terrain it may destroy it. Each type of impassable terrain has a toughness rating. Eg walls are impregnable but doors could possibly be smashed down. THE SPELLS ---------- There are 45 different spells in 'Lords of Chaos', 25 of which are 'summon creature' spells. If you use the wizard designer you can choose the spells you want, otherwise the computer will randomly select spells for you. CASTING SPELLS When you consult your spell list each spell you know will be highlighted and its mana cost and level will be displayed., The higher the level of the spell the more it costs. When you cast a spell its level will decrease until it reaches 0 when it cannot be used again during the current game. If you are using a designed wizard then all spells are restored when you go on to the next scenario. When you cast some spells (such as magic bolt) a yellow targeting cursor will appear which must be moved to the desired target position. Pressing FIRE will activate the spell. These spells can be cancelled without loss of mana by pressing FIRE when the cursor is over the wizard. The only exception to this is 'enchant' which can be cast on the wizard itself. Mana points are your most valuable assets. Wizards only recover mana at a slow rate; 4% of the initial mana level per turn. However magic mushrooms, magic apples and various other objects will restore mana when eaten. SUMMON SPELLS When a creature is cast the number of creatures summoned is equal to the level of the spell. The creature will appear in any empty space around the wizard. If there is insufficient space due to surrounding walls, for example, then creatures will not appear and mana will be wasted. Creatures cannot be summoned in the air or from the air; only the CAST-G option can be used. POTIONS The more experienced you become the more you will realise the strategic and tactical importance of potions. However, it is not easy getting a potion together. This is what you need to do: 1. Place an empty cauldron on the ground. 2. Place the ingredient on the ground in the same place as the cauldron. 3. Make sure your wizard is standing on the caldron and ingredient. 4. Cast the appropriate potion spell using the CAST-G option. There will be more than one helping (or gulp) of potion created. The number of gulps created dep[ends on the level of the potion spell; number of gulps=level+3. THE POTION TABLE ---------------- POTION NAME INGREDIENT EFFECTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strength Potion Mistletoe Boosts combat Protection Potion Clover Boosts defence Invisibility Potion Crystal Creatures cannot be seen by enemy Speed Potion Sulph Doubles Action Points and triples stamina recovery Flying Potion Fairywing Enables airborne movement Super Potion Ambergris Boosts combat, boosts defence, doubles Action Points and triples stamina recovery Healing Potion Apple Restores constitution and Stamina, cures fatal wounds POTION EFFECTS There can only be one potion in effect at once. If a potion is consumed while already under the influence of a potion then the previous potion is cancelled (except for healing potion which has an instant effect). Potions do not last for ever. The number of turns a potion last depends on the level of the potion and the potion consumption rating of the creature (see the creature table). The larger the creature the shorter a potion will last. DRAGONS in order to summon a dragon a 'dragon potion' must be made. you will need an empty cauldron and one piece of dragon herb. Make sure your wizard is standing over these objects before you cast a dragon spell. The dragon potion will be created and the dragon will be summoned at the same instant. Dragons are only summoned from the other plane of existence by the lure of the potion's aroma. Dragon herbs are rare, so don't count on your dragon spells. All dragons have the ability to use flame breath. When this is directed at the ground a fire may start. MAGIC FIRE When you cast this spell the targeting cursor will appear. You must select a target space which is inflammable for the fire to 'catch'. You will find that most things are inflammable, but the only way to find out is to try the spell. Unlike most spells there is no line of sight required for the target space. Once the fire is created it will spread from turn to turn or possibly die out. Many objects will be destroyed by fire. Any enemy creatures caught in it, including the undead, will suffer serious damage, however big their defence ratings are. Your own creatures and your wizard will suffer no damage. The higher the level of the spell the more damage it does and the better it spreads, but every time you cast fire it wakens the strength of all your fire currently in existence. GOOEY BLOB The Gooey Blob is a sticky, magical mess that behaves in a similar way to magic fire. The major difference is that it spreads over different types of terrain than fire. It is not as destructive as Magic Fire but it is more obstinate and tough. Undead creatures are harmed by the blob. TANGLE VINE Tangle Vine and Flood affect a certain area depending on the level of the spell. As with Magic Fire and Gooey Blob the targeting cursor will appear to select the target space and no line of sight is required. Tangle wine will only cover terrain that is susceptible. Walls, for example, will not be affected. Any creature caught in vines, including undead creatures, must fight their way out or suffer wounding. FLOOD This spells behaves in a similar manner to tangle vine except that different types of terrain are affected. Flood can be used to extinguish fire, for example. Any creature moving over a flooded area risks drowning unless it is naturally adapted to water. ENCHANT This spell is used to convert ordinary weapons into magic weapons. When it is cast into a space, either in the air or on the ground, then any weapons in that space become magic weapons. This will work on weapons carried by a creature or on the ground. Once a weapon is enchanted it doubles in power and can be used to slay the undead. However the enchantment does not last for ever. The higher the spell level the longer it will last. SUBVERSION An enemy creature can be subverted so that is comes under your control. The spell can fail, the chance of success depends on the level of the spell and the target creatures magic resistance. Riders and mounts are either subverted together (using the highest magic resistance of the two) or not at all. Wizards, and mounts with wizard riders cannot be subverted. CURSE A curse will inflict a number of fatal wounds on a creature or wizard. The success of the spell depends on its level and the magic resistance of the defending creature. The chance of success is generally better than subversion or gamic attack. MAGIC ATTACK A magical attack can destroy one or more creatures. The success of the attack depends on the level of the spell and the magic resistance of the creature. If there are any creatures of the same type as the target creatures within a certain range then they too will be attacked. Be careful because this can affect your own creatures as well as the enemy. MAGIC BOLT Magic Bolt and Magic Lightning are 'physical attacks', which mean the target creature's defence rating is taken into account. The amount of damage done to the target depends on its defence and the level of the spell modified by a random factor. MAGIC LIGHTNING Magic Lightning has the same power as Magic Bolt but affects the eight surrounding spaces as well. If the spell is cast at a ground target then it can destroy terrain. The target space of lightning cannot be a solid piece of terrain such as walls. TELEPORT The Teleport spell can transport your wizard instantly to another part of the world. However, it is not very accurate except at short ranges. The higher the level of the spell the greater the range and accuracy. Once teleported a wizard will have no Action Points remaining. The spell can fail if the destination (which may be different to the desired destination) is a solid piece of terrain such as wall or rock. MAGIC EYE This spell can enable a wizard to see behind doors and reveal invisible creatures. When a target space is selected then you will be able to see from that position as if your wizard was there. CAST-A option will see from the air and CAST-G from the ground. Invisible creatures will only be revealed for the current turn. MAGIC SHIELD This spell will boost the defence rating of your wizard. The amount of increase and number of turns it lasts depends on the level of the spell. It does not matter whether you use the CAST-A or CAST-G option for this spell.

VICTORY CONDITIONS ------------------ In a multi-player combat the game will finish when all the wizards have either exited through the portal or been killed. Victory points are gained for killing enemy wizards or creatures, finding treasure and escaping through the portal. Victory points for killing creatures are doubled if the wizard is directly responsible (victims of fire, flood, fatal wounds etc do not count). Victory points for treasure items can only be gained if the wizard is carrying them when he exits through the portal. If a wizard fails to get through the portal before the end of the game, or gets killed during the game, then he will receive no victory points. THE SCENARIOS ------------- SCENARIO 1: THE MANY COLOURED LAND This world contains everything a wizard could need; a nice home, an attractive environment and plenty of potion ingredients for supplying a wizard's favourite hobby. As a new day dawns and the birds sing in the magic wood everything seems calm. Unfortunately you are not alone. Torquemada is not far away, and he is not just going to come round for a cup of tea and chat. There is only one choice - all out war. When you have dealt with Torquemada you might find time for some treasure hunting, but be careful when you go into the woods today - you're sure of a big surprise. PORTAL APPEARS: 12-15 PORTAL REMAINS: 12 TREASURE: Gold.......16 Ruby.......12 Emerald.....8 SCENARIO 2: SLAYER'S DUNGEON It is well known that many mortals dress up in funny clothes, call themselves 'heroes' and go wandering into deep, dark dungeons looking for a fight. Such behaviour would be regarded as fairly abnormal by most people. As far as wizards are concerned the idea of going into a smelly dungeon is ridiculous, especially because hideous creatures usually seem to live in such places. you would never catch a wizard down a dungeon - that is until now. This particular world is 100% dungeon. It is green with mould and has absolutely no sanitary facilities. It was once rumoured that Arhg the Barbarian came to this dungeon in search of adventure and died from dysentery. His mighty weapon, the Slayer, is hidden somewhere in the dungeon. If you can find the Slayer and escape from this world you will be richly rewarded. There are many dangers in this place. Be careful when you open doors, and bear in mind that some dungeon denizens are so ugly they just don't want to be seen. PORTAL APPEARS: 20-24 PORTAL REMAINS: 15 TREASURE: Gold.......16 Ruby.......12 Emerald.....8 Slayer.....30 SCENARIO 3: RAGARIL'S DOMAIN This is a one player only scenario, you will not be asked to input the number of players. You can play this scenario with a random wizard, but you will find it difficult. Ragaril is a devious wizard. His main pleasure in life comes from luring unsuspecting wizards to his palace in order to torment them. He has built many puzzles and traps to deceive many foolish wizards. There is a way out of the world, and many treasures can be found on the way. There are even some very helpful scrolls lying around which will provide a few clues. Now it is your turn to visit Ragaril's domain. You will find some spells very useful, particularly in relation to flying. PORTAL APPEARS: 44-51 PORTAL REMAINS: 10 TREASURE: Diamond....30 Ruby.......12 Emerald.....8 SCENARIO 4: THE ISLANDS OF IRIS Many adventurers have strayed into the unusual world of Iris never to return. It is rumoured that great treasures are hidden in the mysterious Forest of Eyes. However, you must be careful because the forests is full of untold dangers. The magical winking trees are impervious to all forms of magic and they are reputed to live forever, always watchful, guarding their secrets. PORTAL APPEARS: 26-29 PORTAL REMAINS: 10 TREASURE: Gold.......16 Ruby.......12 Emerald.....8 SCENARIO 5: TOMBS OF THE UNDEAD Many years ago a devious sorcerer known as Shazard the Instructible ruled over many worlds. Before he died he ensured that his name would not be forgotten so he built a magical tomb for himself and his followers. Somewhere hidden in the tomb is the Staff of Wrath, a valuable magical artefact which Shazard used as the source of his power. Few have dared to enter the tomb in search of Shazard's treasure because there are many traps and puzzles which only the most wise and experienced wizard can survive. This scenario is a one player scenario only. You will need a level 5 wizard in order to stand a chance of survival. PORTAL APPEARS: 28-31 PORTAL REMAINS: 15 TREASURE: Staff of Wrath...35 Gold.............16 Ruby.............12 Emerald...........8
