- Latest amendments and notes:
-
-
-
- Memory requirements:
-
- SETTLERS II requires around 7MB
- of free XMS memory. If you do not
- have enough XMS memory available,
- the program will first try to run
- in a memory-saving mode. This
- means that certain graphics will
- not be loaded. If this does not
- work either, you could try running
- the program without music. To do
- this, start with the NOSOUND.BAT
- batch file.
-
-
-
-
- Smartdrive:
-
-
- To reduce loading time we recommend
- using the "SMARTDRV" program.
- Please see your DOS manual for
- installation.
-
-
-
-
- Two-player mode:
-
- A second mouse is needed to play
- this game in two-player mode. It
- should be noted that Player One
- (the player on the left of the
- screen) uses the mouse which is
- supported by the mouse driver. The
- second mouse is anticipated on the
- other COM port. Mice are only
- supported by COM port 1 and COM
- port 2.
- Two-player mode is only possible in
- "free play" mode (see below).
-
-
-
-
-
- Screen display - VESA driver:
-
- SETTLERS II supports the VESA
- VBE standard for the support of
- SuperVGA graphics. Many SuperVGA
- graphics cards are directly
- compatible with VESA VBE.
-
- If you have problems with your
- graphics card, try the following
- procedures:
-
- 1. If you have received a VESA VBE
- driver with your graphics card,
- install this and then try running
- the game. Many VESA VBE drivers can
- be installed directly from DOS.
- Follow the instructions in your
- graphics card manual.
-
- 2. In case you do not have a VESA
- VBE driver for your graphics card
- or your VESA VBE driver does not
- function with this game, we have
- included the UniVBE VESA VBE driver
- on this CD. To install the UniVBE
- VESA VBE driver, you must only run
- the INSTALL.EXE program in the UNIVBE
- directory on the CD. Please note
- that the UniVBE driver is Shareware.
- Do not forget to register if the
- UniVBE driver is to help you further
- with this game.
- Follow the instructions during
- installation to register this
- copy of the UniVBE.
-
-
-
- Autostart:
-
- If you have problems in Windows 95
- with the Autorun option, please go to
- the AUTORUN.TXT file. There you
- will find a list of possible fault
- sources.
-
-
-
- Alliances:
-
- As soon as a player attacks his
- allies, these become his enemy. At
- the same time, the allies of the
- people attacked become the attacker's
- enemies.
- In the statistics window players
- can check which computer enemy is
- currently allied with whom. The
- colors of the allies are shown as
- small rectangles in the players'
- portraits.
-
-
-
- Storage of merchandise:
-
- In the headquarters and storehouses
- it is now possible to decide for
- all merchandise and workers
- individually whether they may be
- stored in this special warehouse
- or not. Players can also choose
- individually which goods are to be
- compulsorily transported out of
- the store.
-
-
-
- Protecting the headquarters:
-
- Players can choose how many soldiers
- are to protect the headquarters.
- These will then only leave to defend
- the HQ.
-
-
-
-
- Keys "C" and "S"
-
- During the game, key "C" shows you
- the name of the building.
- With "S" you can also insert
- additional information on the
- buildings.
-
-
-
- Emergency program:
-
- If you receive the message "The
- emergency program has been activated"
- in the message window, your remaining
- stores of wood have been reserved for
- building a woodcutter's hut and a
- sawmill.
- You should then build these
- immediately.
