Rules for CIRCE :
The winner of the game shall be the player ( You -or- the Computer ) who holds all thirty-one countries.
Turns alternate with blue ( You ) always moving first, and yellow second. During your turn you may examine as many countries, and their neighbors, as you like.
A player's turn ends after doing one of the following three: 1) ATTACK a neighboring enemy; 2) TRANSFER armies to a friendly neighbor, or; 3) PASS, do nothing.
At the end of yellow's turn, ONE army is added to each country. Yellow's advantage is that it can never leave you an unoccupied country.
Hints & Info : The computer will ALWAYS attack an unoccupied country, so leave a few armies if the computer is bordering the country you're moving from.
"GAME": selecting NEW randomly selects countries for you, keep clicking it if you dont like the distribution. The number of starting armies is chosen with LEVEL.
The TOTAL BOX below the clock displays the total amount of Armies & Countries, respectively. The TURN BOX below that displays the turn number and player.
Choosing ATTACK or TRANSFER drops the mouse back on to the originating country. Choosing "Numeric Input" allows you to enter a specific number of armies.
YOU DONT HOLD THAT COUNTRY.
YOU DONT HAVE ANY ARMIES IN THAT COUNTRY.
OK. SELECT COUNTRY TO MOVE TO.
OK. SELECT COUNTRY TO ATTACK.
