A War in Middle Earth Dox ------------- written by Morgoth
|
|
|
|
OK, these are the dox for War in Middle Earth.
|
|
|
|
There are 3 different screen levels. The top level shows the whole map
|
|
of Middle Earth. This game is icon oriented. The 3 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 as I haven't seen the dox 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.

That's about it! Hope you like it. It's a very complicated game; just
|
|
explore it to find out.
