Code: Select all
TAKEOVER
In this game you attempt to take over the government headed by the evil president Xerxes. The game is played on a city map which features streets buildings. you are the rebel forces and the government is played by the computer. Points are gained by capturing key buildings and the first player to reach 35 points is the winner.
You and i each take alternate turns. Each turn consists of four consecutive moves. if either is unsuccessful in any move, play reverts to the other. At each move you may either:
1) Try to take over a building square. Each building has a traditional political leaning, loyalty and pro/anti government bias but this will change as the game progresses according to your popularity. The more popular you are, the better the chance of a building coming over to your side.
2) Try to take over a street square; this will also help you to take over buildings at a later date. It will also help stop government forces from advancing too far. Taking over a street square is only possible if you already occupy more surrounding squares (up to buildings or streets) than the opposing colour. Grey neutral squares do not count. The more squares you occupy surrounding a building, the more chance you have of overcoming resistance in a building.
Some buildings are particularly important since they can alter the course of the game if you occupy them. These include:
the radio station (R)
the newspapers office (N)
the cathedral (C)
the bank (B)
the hospital (H)
the airport (A)
and xerxes' palace (X)
The radio station, newspapers and cathedral are the most important buildings to hold but you will probably never manage to capture xerxes' palace!
Before each turn, one of these buildings may release a newsflash which may be damaging if it is held by enemy forces.
To help you find out if a building may be ripe for capture, you have a free option to examine intelligence reports by pressing 'f3'.
The points for capturing or successfully resisting an attack on a building are printed on the front of the building next to the letter of identification. Each time a building changes hands, the popularity chart will be affected.
Each game will be a different scenario. Not only will the city map be changed, you can choose whether you wish to be left or right wing. Remember that the allegiances of each building will be different. It all depends on your political colour as well as the government's politics and strength.
Watch out... The government will play a mean game! No one likes to suffer a TAKEOVER.......
