The world of the other side consists of three parts-one side, your side,
|
|
the other side and an unclaimed frontier that separates and surrounds
|
|
the two sides. Each side has clearly defined borders that are visible
|
|
on the map. the entire world has been divided into 55 areas. In the
|
|
middle of this world (in area 28) there is a large chasm separating the
|
|
two sides. The goal of the game is to construct a bridge spanning this
|
|
chasm. Each team adds to the bridge brick by brick. Each brick costs
|
|
more as you build toward the other side.

|
|
|
|
b = build.
|
|
You begin with a patrol in your capitol city. You can build another
|
|
possession in your capitol city or in any area adjacent to an area with
|
|
one of your possessions in it. An adjacent area is one which is
|
|
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal to an area. You can also build new
|
|
possessions anywhere you you already have. The other's possessions look
|
|
like yours, but they are black letters on a white background. Type , the
|
|
possession you want to build (d,p,b,c) and the area number you want to
|
|
place it in. 'bd31' will build a driller in area 31.
|
|
|
|
r = run mixer.
|
|
You make money by mixing fuels. To mix fuels, press the space bar
|
|
repeatedly. Continue pressing the space bar to continue mixing. When you
|
|
are done mixing, press return.
|
|
|
|
t = tank repair.
|
|
A leaky tank wastes fuel. To repair a leaky tank, type t and type of
|
|
fuel in the tank. 'tg' will repair the green fuel tank.
|
|
|
|
i = inspection.
|
|
You can inspect the areas which contain any of your possessions. Type i
|
|
and the area number you wish to examine. 'i20' will view area 20. To add
|
|
bricks to the bridge, you must inspect the bridge in area 28. a command
|
|
of 'i28 will take you to the bridge where you can add bricks, one at a
|
|
time, by pressing b on the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
p = prospecting.
|
|
A prospector looks for rare fuel on the other side and reports back in
|
|
the year end report. To send out a prospector, type p.
|
|
|
|
n = number sheet.
|
|
The number sheet displays the costs and values of all the actions and
|
|
items available to you. To look at the number sheet, type n
|
|
|
|
e = exchange.
|
|
You can exchange a possession you own for half of its original value. To
|
|
exchange a possession for cash, type e, the possession you wish to
|
|
exchange (d,p,b,c), and its location. 'eb53 exchanges a bomb you have in
|
|
area 53 for cash.
|
|
|
|
a = attack.
|
|
An attack by your patrol will destroy the other side's patrol or bomb in
|
|
that area and allow you to take over their driller if one was present.
|
|
Your patrol must be right next to the possession you are attacking. A
|
|
bomb attack destroys everything in a target area and releases
|
|
contamination. To attack with a bomb you must have already built one
|
|
(although not necessarily in or near the area you wish to attack). To
|
|
attack, type a, specify the possession with which you intend to attack
|
|
(p or b), and the area you wish to attack. 'ab48' will launch a bomb
|
|
toward area 48. If you have built more than one bomb, your C.A.D will
|
|
select which one to launch.
|
|
|
|
f = fuel gift.
|
|
Giving fuel to the other side can be helpful, but it costs you money to
|
|
transport it across the frontier. To give fuel from your storage tanks,
|
|
type f, the type of fuel (o,g.b), and the number of gallons you wish to
|
|
send. 'fg15' will send 15 gallons of green fuel to the other side.
|
|
Transportation costs for the gift will be deducted from your cash.
|
|
|
|
m = money gift.
|
|
Giving money to the other side can also be helpful, but there are
|
|
transfer charges you must pay. To give money, type m and the amount of
|
|
money, plus transfer charges, will be deducted from your cash.
|
|
|
|
c = cease fire zone.
|
|
For a fee, an area can be declared neutral to allow visits or building
|
|
by the other side which will not alarm your side's C.A.D. To declare a
|
|
cease fire zone, type c and the number of the area you wish to make
|
|
neutral. 'c30' will make a cease fire in area 30. Each side can only
|
|
have 1 at a time.
|
|
|
|
u = underground.
|
|
By setting off a bomb underground, new fuel resources may be released.
|
|
It may contaminate the fuel. First build the bomb then type u and the
|
|
area number. 'u8' will explode a bomb underground in area 8.
|
|
|
|
Placing a possession in an area
|
|
|
|
When building you will see a close up of the area where you are placing
|
|
the possession. To place to object using (i,j,k,m). patrols must be
|
|
right next to objects they are either protecting or attacking.
|
|
|
|
Breaking C.A.D. code
|
|
|
|
C.A.D. your computer assisted defense system, if your cash gets too low
|
|
or if the other side makes moves which seem agressive, C.A.D. may step
|
|
in and take over your moves. When it takes over, it acts swiftly and
|
|
directly. The only way to stop it is by typing in the appropriate
|
|
three-letter code (combination of a,b,c) which will turn it off. you can
|
|
get the code if the code breaker machine appears with C.A.D. this code
|
|
will only work during the year in which it was bought. To use the code
|
|
breaker, press return when the amount of money you wish to spend
|
|
appears. Type in the three letter code when C.A.D. appears again during
|
|
this turn.
|
|
|
|
Beyond your control
|
|
Occasionally events will occur that are completely beyond your control.
|
|
C.A.D. may take over or your country may experience a national strike.
|
|
A strike depletes your sides cash by $50 and causes you to loose your
|
|
turn.
|
|
|
|
Year end report
|
|
Watch this it tells all about your fuel and the condition of your fuel
|
|
tanks, the actions of the other side and the results of the prospectors
|
|
explorations. Also note the contamination levels as they increase
|
|
leaking from your tanks.
