          EXPERTISE



   For lovers of strategic
games, we present a game
"GENGHIS KHAN". Fans of arcade games can also get
from this game some fun.


   From a historical point of view
"GENGHIS KHAN" can hardly
represent any interest.
The authors seem to be all bad
versed in the intricacies of the East.
They do not get along with geography. One of Bulgaria on the 
shores of the Caspian Sea which is worth. However, at this 
moment we are should worry the least.



   Just say that in the "Annex", we include the disk version
This interesting from a strategic
in terms of games, to which, to
Unfortunately, we have a small
claim.


   Firstly, there is no splash image, and we did not
were able to find any firm release this game every year of its 
release. Secondly there are some nuances in the game itself, 
which may have arisen after the mindless copying using the 
"magic button". For example, We know for certain that the 
message of the birth of a new enemy (when it defeated 
precursor), is present in original, but in this version of the 
communication we see no failed.



   However, this does not
spoils the overall impression. We hope you enjoy this great 
strategy game.

MAIN MENU - exit to main menu

START CAMPAIGN - this option, you
start to their campaign.


   Immediately after the start of the game you
suggested another menu:


     SELECT OPTION:

INVADE TERRITORY (gain territory)
DISPLACE WARRIORS (move
troops)
DISPLACE KHAN (moved Khan)
SEND SPY (send a scout)
RECRUITMENT (recruitment)
ABORT CAPMAIGN (suspend the campaign [exit to menu])


   Before proceeding to the seizure of foreign territories is 
recommended to send a scout for clarify the size of the army 
that defends the territory. If your scout returned safely 
(there are cases when it captured in the film)

you'll have the necessary information about the territory,
which will start invading your
troops. If the size of your
forces exceed the number of
enemy troops, then we can safely
conquer the territory. This,
however, relates to the strategic version of the game.


   If you choose the arcade version (or both), then
everything will depend on how much you know well
joystick.



   After selecting INVADE
TERRITORY You must indicate
arrow territory adjacent
to yours, which will be attacked. In this game, any movement of 
troops are only allowed to surrounding areas.


   When the battle is over, you
offer a menu that allows you to move some of the troops with
territory with which you attacked on conquered territory
(DEPARTURE / DESTINATION).



   In the allocation of troops should be remembered that the 
territory of where you go, moving all

further, should remain under
control your troops. If you
on the conquered territory leave too little of his soldiers,
then this country could erupt
rebellion, and she gets out of hand
Your control.


   It also happens that part of your
Warriors cut the locals
arranging the bloody riots. In this case, this territory is 
yours, but the number of standing on her troop decreases. And 
it usually increases the likelihood of an uprising. 



   You will always face yet another invader territories, which, 
like you, moving farther and farther away, conquering entire 
nations and peoples. Sooner or later, your troops

would have to meet in a bloody
battle. Here the game and reach
climax. You will need
manifest itself. With cunning
maneuvers, rapid deployment
forces, recruitment, you
will need to create the advantage for
site of the battle.


   The enemy also does not sleep. In
your camp are sending spies
that extract information about your troops and send them to your
master.



   Remember that in this situation
all can solve one wrong
move. And if you're one-track, and too straightforward, the
You can not avoid defeat.


   Tips on how to win, we will not give, because every talented 
commander has its own strategy,

and therefore you should act
belongs only to you in style.


   It remains to add a few
words on the additional task of
this game, which, in our
opinion, is unnecessary, but introduces a certain element of 
adventure in the plot.




   In one country, living
a great magician, the alchemist, who will give you the correct 
recipe victory. Find the country we offer ourselves, and gather 
the necessary products and materials for recipe wizard you will 
be able to by the scout, who in addition to data on enemy forces

brings information about the available
country of products or materials.
If there will be one element of the recipe, then you it will be
necessary to obtain, taking the country. With each new launch 
of the game alchemist's recipe changes, and also changes the 
distribution of elements across countries. 



   It only remains to add that
at the bottom of the screen constantly
present figures on
the total number of soldiers and archers in your army (left) 
and those same data on enemy troops (right).



   In that case, if your
troops hopelessly lose
opponent, you can otsupit,
pressing the "FIRE" in the battle. This
applies only to strategic play mode.
