     Greetings to all fans of Spectrum! Finally published a new 
(already third) demo version of this toy. At this time the main 
part of the game is almost completed (95% of all planned 
already written). This demo version features no load / save, as 
well as shooting a computer from a distance. Apparently, more 
demos There will not be like a game to be released (still want 
levels). 



     A little clarification to the game: in every mission you
control 31 (maximum) part of (their number depends on the goals 
of the mission), with different characteristics (to obtain 
detailed information about the parts can be using the 
"Information"). To each side has own parameters attack power, 
strength and range of a distant fire, moral stability, and 
other less important. Morale often plays a role in the 
calculation of the damage caused, but also affects the overall 
behavior of (at low morale of refusing to obey, and gets out of 
control.) Individual rate moral stability affects the mood 
changes part in successful / unsuccessful attack (you will soon 
notice that there is a part-nihilists, and there are 
alarmists.) Attack Power - no comments. You can only note that 
for each part is the most convenient enemy, the attack force 
which increases 1.5 (for the tanks is the infantry for infantry 
- artillery, the guns - tanks, etc.) The power of fire and 
long-range determine the success of an attack at a distance of 
(fire). Accuracy (accuracy is) depends on the moral side, and 
her experience. (In this demo all the parts are not "smear"). 


     The general properties: different types of surface
have different time for passing on him.
It is easiest to walk along the road through the woods or swamp
Part barely pass, but in the mountains or the water does not
come (all this refers to a specific mission, inserted in the 
demo - in other missions, all can be different.)



     The enemy of the general properties of anything
not differ from your own. The logic of the enemy
quite simple and obvious, therefore, also needs no comment. In 
the demo win easily as you have the advantage - the computer 
will not use long-range fire.




     The basic concept of the game - all of substitutability
parameters for each mission, such as: sprite, names, sounds and 
characteristics of sprites for the map etc. This feature allows 
you to create separate missions in the form of a completely 
different games - You can insert sprites though from 
Stalingrad'a proimitirovat parameters and parts of this toy (of 
course, not absolutely). Parameters in many parts (11) that 
allows broad small difference levels. Mission editor is likely 
to come apart (the rate of its creation is much lower), but the 
game will ship with several (to the extent sufficient 
imagination and patience) levels, which should suffice for the 
first time. K Unfortunately, recently had to abandon the regime 
of 48K, but I think it will not cause an uproar. 


                 *



     K Unfortunately, the pace of creation is not so great
as we would like, but I hope for an early
out the full version of this toy. In parting, to add that I 
will be grateful to any reviews on the topic Empire. Alas,
