Also, at the top of this screen is a series of buttons that allow you to do a number of things. At the top of the screen you will see a Status Bar that provides important feedback on limitations or requirements of certain actions you may wish to take with units or colonies. The Game Screen Everything takes place in the Game screen. Using the Help Feature As you play this Tutorial, helpful screens will appear explaining how to explore, how to disembark from your Ships, and how to do just about everything else! If you need help both during this scenario and during other scenarios, simply right-click on the unit, buttons, or other on-screen items for more information about them. You have ten turns in which to disembark your units onto the New World and to find three major landmarks. Mission 1: Establish Landfall and Discover Three Major Features in the New World The King of England has sent you to discover some of the riches in the New World. Although you can change your name, you cannot change your country (England). Note: You may rename your character by typing a new name into the space provided. The final mission is to prevent your computer opponent from establishing a new colony or to capture his new colony, if one already exists. The second mission is to found a colony with your Settler, and the third mission is to start building the colony into a thriving settlement. Finally, you will use your units to explore the New World and to discover great new landmarks. You will learn the basics of what each unit type does. In the first mission, you will learn how to use your Ship to explore and how to disembark units from the Ship. 1ģ TUTORIAL SCENARIO The Tutorial scenario is set up as a series of four missions in which you lead an English expedition to the New World. The Options button also lets you edit your player, allowing you to take over the computer player s position or allowing the computer to take over your position. In addition, you can select the Options button to turn sound effects on or off, to turn animations on or off, to alter the maximum zoomed in level, to turn textures on or off, to turn the appearance of the Colonial Gazette (see Ending Your Turn and Pausing the Game in the Tutorial Scenario chapter) on or off, and to establish a network or modem connection with other players (see the Multiplayer Games chapter for details). The Game Menu screen also allows you to continue from a saved game position, practice combat techniques with a combat demo, or quit playing. You can play a solitaire game against zero to five computer opponents, or you can play a multiplayer game against up to five other human and computer players. Starting a New Game To begin a new game, click on the New Game button from the Game Menu screen. For those players who care less about winning than about playing for fun, there is an option to play an indefinitely long game, which will only end for that player if he or she is eliminated by opponents. The game ends when the preset number of turns has elapsed or when one player achieves the winning number of victory points. For other players, the main objective may be to establish supremacy in the New World by eliminating opponents. For some players, winning the game may primarily involve finding lots of new landmarks in the New World and establishing many colonies. Each player sets their own objectives for each game. Your job is to explore the New World, establish thriving colonies, produce and trade goods, and eliminate your opponents or defend your claims from your opponents. Note, this is not a game that simulates the actual discovery and colonization of the Americas a New World is generated at the beginning of each game and each New World (and game) is, therefore, unique. You compete against other such players in the hopes of establishing control of the New World during the sixteenth century. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 TUTORIAL SCENARIO 2 CUSTOM MAKING YOUR OWN GAME 19 COLONIES AND TRADE 24 UNITS 33 COMBAT 40 MULTIPLAYER GAMES 47 WINNING THE GAME 53 NEW FEATURES 55 HOW TO PLAY MY 60 CREDITS 66 CUSTOMER SERVICE 69Ģ INTRODUCTION Conquest of the New World is a game in which you control a native civilization or an expeditionary force from one of five European countries.
