Battle
Main playing board

| This is a real neat, fun,
and addicting game. It is white vs black played on a 9x9
board. Each side starts with 18 units. You move your
units around the board when it is your turn, and if you
stop on an enemy unit or if an enimy unit stops on you,
you have to battle it out and the winner stays in the
game. In battle you use your weapon or magic to try and
kill the enemy before it kills you. The winner of the
game is the one who destroys all the other color's units
first. Each type of unit has its own weapon for battling,
and a certain # of movement units, either walking or
flying (can go over other players). The Wizard /
Sourceress can cast spells on other untis (teleport,
heal, shift time, exchange, summon elemental, revive,or
imprison). The game has 1 player vs AI (very good AI), 2 player, and demo modes. The keyboard keys can be reasigned to the user's preference, or a joystick can be used. I found the keyboard interface a bit troublesome, so maybe a joystick would be easier. If anyone can find me a manual or some docs for this game it would be appreciated. Units: |
