War in Middle Earth Documentation

|
|
There are three different screen levels. The top level shows the whole map
|
|
of Middle Earth. This game is icon oriented. The three icons to the side are
|
|
|
|
Orb - tells status off all forces on map
|
|
Load/save - loads/restores saved game
|
|
Magnify - allows you to go to the next map level down
|
|
Hourglass - changes rate at which time goes by
|
|
|
|
At the middle level, the icons go as follows:
|
|
|
|
Orb - tells status of selected party
|
|
Map - goes to top map level
|
|
Magnify - allows you to go to the next level down
|
|
Hourglass - changes rate at which time goes by
|
|
|
|
At the scene level, the icons are:
|
|
|
|
Orb - tells status of party on the screen
|
|
Map - goes to middle level map
|
|
Hand/bottle - gets/puts things down
|
|
|
|

I assume that your mission is to get the ring to Mt. Doom. To do so, you have all the good forces at your disposal. The blinking forces are yours to do so as you wish. The non-blinking ones are either your enemies or neutral forces. Neutral forces go under your command at different times of the game or when you get certain magical objects to those groups.

The best way to learn how to play is just dive in. At first be careful of the Nazgul. They'll kick yer ass quickly if they get to Frodo. You would be best going to Bree first via Bombadil's house.

To see what a certain place is, just click on it. If it is important at all,
|
|
the game will tell you so. You can play the game militarily forgetting the
|
|
books altogether, or you can play it following the book (which is probably
|
|
safest at first).
|
|
|
|
At some point in time, the protection scheme will ask you for coordinates to
|
|
a particular place. What follows is a list of places and what I believe to be their coordinates.
