Introduction Welcome to Conquest! This is a strategy game similar to RISK, and other 'Conquer the World' type games. It has many options to make the game more interesting, but you may want to wait until after you have played a few games before you try them. One of my design objectives was to create a simple user interface which removes unnecessary keystrokes, and leaves as much room on the screen as possible for the game map. As a result, EGA and a mouse or trackball are required to play Conquest. For information on how to play the game, either run the game and use the built in help screens, or read the file 'Guide.doc.' Write me a note if I can be of help. Features of Conquest Version 1.8: 1. This version of Conquest may or may not be played over the modem (depending on the type of modem you have). I am continually trying to improve the modem option, so please let me know of any difficulty you are having with the modem option. 2. A demonstration mode has been added which functions as a screen saver. If you do not hit a key or move the mouse within three minutes at the opening menu, a random map will be selected with random computer players. At high speed, the demo mode is interesting to watch. 3. A new option entitled 'Rebellions' has been added. This option will let territories revolt after they have been conquered. For more information, read the player's guide (GUIDE.DOC) or the 'Options' help selection under the Help menu. David Burns P.O. Box 46065 Washington, DC 20050 CIS: 70244,3650 September 7, 1992
