research_explanation_3 To see how I'm getting along, hold ALT to access the Task Manager, then scroll left by pushing the mouse to the left of the screen, or by pressing [KEYLEFT].
research_explanation_4 From there you can set priorities for me...and I'll try to work on improving what you think is most important.
tutorial_intro_1 Who the hell are you? I thought i'd terminated all external connections.
tutorial_intro_2 Ok fine, if you're going to stay you might as well make yourself useful.
tutorial_intro_3 Welcome to Darwinia...what's left of it.
tutorial_intro_4 Darwinia is the world's first ever Digital Theme Park - everything you see here is simulated on a computer.
tutorial_intro_5 Unfortunately we're currently under attack by a major Viral Infection which has destroyed pretty much everything.
tutorial_intro_6 This location is called the Pixel Mines. Raw Polygons are mined from the Quarries in the distance and are refined into Primitives in this building.
tutorial_intro_7 Essentially this entire location produces the raw materials we need to build things in Darwinia.
tutorial_intro_8 Unfortunately it's all offline right now due to the viral infection. I want you to help me fix that.
tutorial_intro_9 We're going to need to wipe out the Viral infection, and rebuild the population of the native Darwinians.
tutorial_intro_10 But let's start with the basics.
tutorial_1 Firstly let's get to grips with the camera. Use the W,A,S,D keys to move the camera around.
tutorial_2 To change the camera's height, scroll your middle mouse button up and down. Or you can press Q and E.
tutorial_3 Good stuff. Now the first thing I want you to do is to destroy these evil Red Virii.
tutorial_3b We will then harvest the Souls from their dead bodies and convert them into some perky new Darwinians.
tutorial_4 In order to destroy those Virii, we will need to create an armed offensive unit called a SQUAD.
tutorial_4b To create things in Darwinia you draw gestures in the Task Manager. Hold the ALT key to bring up the Task Manager.
tutorial_5 While holding ALT, draw this gesture to create a SQUAD. You don't need to be very accurate, just draw it fast.
tutorial_5_error Whoops, that's the wrong gesture. Try again.
tutorial_7 Excellent. Now in order to place the SQUAD into the world, click inside the highlighted starting area.
tutorial_8 Squads need to be directly controlled. Click the Left Mouse Button to move them around the landscape.
tutorial_9 Hold the Right Mouse Button to fire their lasers.
tutorial_10 They can also throw grenades. Hold the Right Mouse Button to fire lasers, then tap the Left Mouse Button to throw a grenade.
tutorial_11 Looks like you've got the hang of it. Take your squad over to those evil Red Virii and kill them!
tutorial_12 Fantastic, you've destroyed half of them already.
tutorial_13 You're very nearly done. Just a few more Virii remain.
tutorial_20 This building is an Incubator. Its purpose is to convert the Souls of dead creatures into fresh new Darwinians.
tutorial_20b Unfortunately it's currently offline, due to the red viral Infection. We need to use it to start creating Darwinians.
tutorial_20c To bring the building online we will need to use an ENGINEER.
tutorial_21 To summon an ENGINEER, hold ALT and draw this gesture.
tutorial_22 Engineers can be placed in starting points, or near Squads. Place your Engineer and move him near the Incubator.
tutorial_23 The first thing the Engineer will do is to reprogram the Incubator and remove the Viral infection, using the nearby Control Tower.
tutorial_24 The Engineer will now collect up the Souls left behind by the dead Virii and carry them to the Incubator.
tutorial_24b All creatures in Darwinia have a Soul. The Souls used to belong to the Darwinians before the Virus corrupted them.
tutorial_24c Using Engineers and Incubators, we can gradually harvest the evil Virus Souls and convert them back into native Darwinians.
tutorial_25 The first Darwinians have been reborn! This is fantastic news.
tutorial_26 These guys used to own the planet, before the Virus invaded. And it's these guys that we're going to help to recapture the world.
tutorial_28 Hold down ALT and draw this gesture to create another SQUAD.
tutorial_29 You can now start your SQUAD closer to the action, by placing them near the Control Tower you captured.
tutorial_30 Ok, next task.
tutorial_31 There are more evil creatures in this direction, including a rather nasty Centipede.
tutorial_31b I want you to wipe them out with Squads, then harvest their spirits into Darwinians.
tutorial_32 Now take your Squad and attack the Viral infection that I just showed you.
tutorial_33 Excellent work. I'm very impressed.
tutorial_33b We now want to use an Engineer to reprogram this Incubator, and to collect up the nearby Souls.
tutorial_34 Now move the Engineer near to the new Incubator so he can begin Reprogramming it. Just left click to move an Engineer.
tutorial_35 That Engineer will now pick up the nearby Souls and place them in the Incubator, creating more Darwinians.
tutorial_35b Let me show you how to move the existing Darwinians around.
tutorial_35c Darwinians can't be directly controlled, but we can issue orders to them using an Officer.
tutorial_351 To create an Officer, draw this gesture.
tutorial_36 Click on an existing Darwinian to promote him to an Officer.
tutorial_37 Officers can be moved around by left clicking. But they're most useful function is that they can order Darwinians around.
tutorial_37b You can right click somewhere on the ground to order all the nearby Darwinians to walk there.
tutorial_38 The ultimate objective here is to get this Refinery online so we can start producing some Primitives.
tutorial_38b The Refinery needs Darwinians at its base in order to operate.
tutorial_38c However the Darwinians can't currently defend themselves, so you'll need to clear the area out first using Squads.
tutorial_38d Once you've done that, use Officers to order the Darwinians up to the Refinery and they will begin operating it.
tutorial_38e Don't forget to use Engineers to collect up the Souls of dead Virii and Darwinians.
tutorial_39 If you get stuck at any time, you can press H and I'll try to help you. Good luck!
tutorial_40 You have a Squad running already, but you aren't currently controlling it because it isn't the selected unit.
tutorial_40b To select your Squad, hold ALT and press the TAB key until the Squad is selected. Or you can just click on the Squad directly.
tutorial_41 To summon another ENGINEER, hold ALT and draw this gesture.
tutorial_42 Now place the Engineer near a Squad or a Control Tower.
tutorial_43 You already have an Engineer running, but it isn't currently selected.
tutorial_43b To select your Engineer, hold down ALT and TAB along until it is selected. Or you can just click directly on the Engineer.
tutorial_squaddeath Looks like your SQUAD has been destroyed. Not to worry, we can just create another.
tutorial_engineerdeath Unfortunately your ENGINEER has been destroyed. We'll need to create another.
tutorial_skipped Ok i'll just let you get on with it. Remember you can press H at any time for help. Good luck!
pixelmines_intro_1 This entire location is one giant mining facility, unfortunately now overrun by this damn Virus.
pixelmines_refinery_1 This building at the centre of the facility is the Refinery. It converts mined Polygons into Primitives which can be used later to build things.
pixelmines_refinery_1b It also drives the motor system that moves the carts around the track.
pixelmines_refinery_2 This Refinery needs Darwinians at its control pads or else it's useless. You'll need to safely escort some Darwinians up here to get the facility moving.
pixelmines_mines_1 There are four underground mines built into the side of the landscape. Each one pulls raw Polygons from the mountainside.
pixelmines_mines_1b Generations of Darwinian miners have worked these quarries and it's starting to show its toll on the hillside.
pixelmines_mines_2 The Darwinians will extract the Polygons from deep inside the quarry and dump them into the mining carts as they move past, on their way to the Refinery.
pixelmines_mines_3 We'll need to mine at least 20 Primitives to be able to build anything substantial.
pixelmines_yardport_1 Once the Primitives have been refined, they need to be transported to the Construction Yard where they can be used to build things.
pixelmines_yardport_2 Bring this Trunk Port online so the refined Primitives can be transported away.
pixelmines_progress_1 Wonderful work, the Refinery is online and the motor system is running. But the mine carts are still empty. We need to bring the Mines themselves online to fill the carts.
pixelmines_progress_2 There are four underground mines built into the side of the landscape. Each one pulls raw Polygons from the mountainside.
