Playing the game
================

	MEDIEVAL WAR DOOR is played on a map of variable size depending on 
the setup of the game. There are various islands throughout the map with 
cities and mountains. You and your opponents start the game with one city 
each and a number of pieces as determined by the setup of the game.
	The object of the game is to build up your forces and capture cities
until you are strong enough to attack the other players. To win the game you 
must capture or destroy all of your opponent's cities and pieces until all of
them are eliminated or surrender.
	You begin the game with one city and a number of pieces determined by 
the setup of the game. The current piece will be on a black square with the
letter code of that piece in your color. To move, make sure that Num-Lock is
on and press the number of the desired direction to move.
	This is a brief introduction. To get more help about the rules of the 
game use the extensive on-line help by pressing 'I' from the main menu.
