Nice one.

[Morrin]

Haven't played this one so I better try it.

Is BI2 also abandon?
It's even better than this one.

You WILL have to take a look into the manual before you play this game or you will be lost

soo....where IS the manual ?

Well, it seems that the BI that I played was the second part. This one looks and feels way too old fashioned for me. Sluggish controls, no explanation whatsoever of what you can do... I'll pass this time.

I'll continue playing TTD...

I used to really enjoy this game. At first it looked too old as you seemed to zoomed in (low resolution) but I quickly got used to it and really enjoyed again in 2010 !!!.

The sluggish controls are pain in the butt. If they prove too annoying play the addon which is included as this wasn't sluggish at all and supported the mouse. Although I probably enjoyed the scenarios better in the original.

Return and the arrow keys are nearly the only keys used. Move the cursor over a unit, hold enter down while you press up key to move(or shoot in the shoot phase), release enter and then release the up key. Move the cursor to where you want to go and press enter. To abort, move the cursor to an invalid movement destination and press enter twice, fast!

Experiment with the various combinations.

When cursor is on a Unit
Enter+Up - Move, Shoot
Enter+Down - Unit Stats

When on the Main Screen
Enter+Right - Map
Enter+Left - End turn

When over a Base Entrance
Enter+Left - Enter Base

When inside a Base
Enter+Right - Exit

When inside a Base and over a Unit
Enter+Up - Move Unit out of Base
Enter+Down - If Unit is damaged then Repair. Cost 3 energy.

When inside a Base and not over a Unit
Enter+Left - Create unit(if enough energy)

Esc = Quit Game? Press Y to accept, anything else to abort.

---

One experience per hit.
Two experience if unit is killed.
6 experience is max. Max experienced units are extremely powerful.

Some units can fire from a distance. There is no retaliation then!

Terrain give protection(I'm somewhat sure). Place infantry on mountains or forest.

Use Infantry to capture neutral or enemy bases. All units inside will be captured! Use other units to block the enemy base's 3 exit hexes until your infantry arrive.

Capture energy crystal with a transporter and bring it back to the base. Crystals are not available on the first maps.

Transporters make the terrain under it less costly to move through for all units...Figures. :w00t:


Enjoy!

I' am very sorry about manual. Because I only got a german copy of the manual I tried to get one from the internet but the one i found was a plain Text file and not very good. It hasn't been uploaded with the game, maybe also due to copyright problems.

Right now, I am writing a well illustrated game manual for Battle Isle and I will provide it as soon as I have finished it. If I won't encounter any problems I will upload it within the next 48 hours.

Please be patient, you won't regret it.
