Playing the game ================ MEDIEVAL WAR DOOR is played on a map of variable size depending on the setup of the game. There are various islands throughout the map with cities and mountains. You and your opponents start the game with one city each and a number of pieces as determined by the setup of the game. The object of the game is to build up your forces and capture cities until you are strong enough to attack the other players. To win the game you must capture or destroy all of your opponent's cities and pieces until all of them are eliminated or surrender. You begin the game with one city and a number of pieces determined by the setup of the game. The current piece will be on a black square with the letter code of that piece in your color. To move, make sure that Num-Lock is on and press the number of the desired direction to move. This is a brief introduction. To get more help about the rules of the game use the extensive on-line help by pressing 'I' from the main menu.
