                Instructions

In the legend, the game presented in the book-instruction, 
which we do not have written something like this: Doomdark was 
defeated, but his heiress Charette Pohititelnitsa hearts struck 
back - grabbed Morkina Free, the son of Luxor - Lunar 
printsa.Morkin is (in custody of course) on the plains of Anwar 
(Anvaril), located in the north of Icemark and surrounded by 
the frozen deserts. 

His heart was filled with hatred against the Luxor and only 
Taritel Doomed can break the spell and return Charette

it on the side of good. Charette also collects
an army to battle with Luxor.

You have several missions: to save Morkina
Free, kill Charette - Pohititelnitsu
Hearts in the battle and find runes Finorna (Finorn) - an 
ancient and magical message that can be read Rorthronom Wise. 
When all is done you should bring Luxor and, if still alive, 
Rorthrona, Morkina and Taritel to the gate Varenorna (Varenorn) 
and after nightfall your mission is complete. If all these 
tasks are too complicated for you, you you can do one or two of 
them. Then, if Charette Morkin killed or released, then you get 
a partial victory. If Morkin Taritel or be killed, then you can 
still win, but if you died Luxor, then wins Charette.


In addition to the runes Finorna (Finorn) there are
three magical object scattered on
Icemark to help you. This Crown Varenanda (Varenand) Luxor, 
Spell Vigrorna (Thigrorn) Taritel and Crown Karudriuma 
(Carudrium) Morkina. Each soldier has weapons bearing his name 
that he can take for extra strength. Special forces

These items can be used
only once, but the bearing of arms has the advantage in battle.

Earth Icemark contain several types of
terrain: plains, forests, hills and mountains, and
and frozen deserts, which can not be crossed. Speed ​​of 
movement of the hero depends on landshafta.Naprimer trip

through the mountains takes much more time
than travel across the plains. Each race
has a "special" type of terrain on which they can move quickly. 
For example at the doomed woods are "special" the type of 
terrain. They move on them faster than other races. Travel may 
be more difficult because of the lowers Fog forces moving 
across the country (Created this tumanchik Charette), dragons 
and other wildlife travelers

country. It may happen that your trusty horse be killed, but do 
not despair - you be able to find wild horses and tame one of 
them. Losing a horse of course make your travel more slowly and 
you tires quickly. To kill wild animals or tame the horse, just 
go them / him.


Under Icemarkom'om is a huge
Network tunneley.Ty can enter and exit to / from
tunnels in certain areas, which
will be discussed below. Underground tunnel -
The only way to Morkinu, which is surrounded by the frozen 
deserts. In the tunnels you able to escape the attacks, but 
there is still inhabited by dragons, skulkriny (skulkrin) and

Trolls. They will prevent your
move through the tunnels.

dragon.

tunnels. Creation and spell underground

day for Travel and Leisure. Any character that has stayed clock 
can be moved to any time. You can inspect the area using the 
direction keys (1-8). Key 'watch' (W) gives information about 
where you are (on the screen before it may contain other 
information). To move forward, press press Q. Moving along the

animals in different locations Icemark'a. When dawn you can 
continue the game by pressing 'Dawn' (F).


You have two choices when you're standing
next to an enemy or friend: come and talk to him or attack him. 
Either choice can be done by pressing 'choices Action hero '(of

be attacked. If this happens or if you attack, then the 
remainder of the day will be place in the battle, the result of 
battle will be determined during the night. If an enemy hero is 
still alive and is in the same location, when the dawn came, 
then you have a choice: either withdraw or continue battle just 
staying in this location. For order to approach the hero he 
should stand in front of you. If you walked up to him

and negotiations were successful, then you get
control of the hero, and yet they can

If you received a "message", the program
randomly chooses a character and displays a message like this:

 - If the hero is not loyal to the prince of the Lunar and 
alive when pokucheno message then report the location (location)

this hero.
 - If he does not have its own
weapons or magical items, then reported his whereabouts.
 - In other cases, the location of Charette Pohititelnitsy 
hearts. 

Time travel

Time measured in hours, for the hero to move up one position is 
the sum of T1, T2 and various modifiers as defined below. 

T1 is a constant depending on the terrain following positions 
in the following table: 


  Plain 1 / 4

  Mountains 2

  Forest 1

  Hills 3 / 4

  Other 1 / 2

T1 is [in theory] to be zero if
the landscape is of favorites for the character:

Luxor city
Morkin Plain
Rorthron Tower
Taritel forest
Charette Plain
Doomed Forest
Hills Barbarians
Icy plains of custody
Giants of the Mountains
Cave gnomes tunnels

T2 is also a constant which depends on the individual rate.



             Riding on foot

Luxor 3 / 4 1 1 / 2
Morkin 3 / 4 1 1 / 2
Rorthron 1 / 2 1
Taritel 1 / 2
Charette 1 / 2
Doomed 3 / 4 1 1 / 2
Barbarians 1 1 / 2 April
Ice guard 3 / 4 1 1 / 4
Giants 1 1 / 4
Cave Gnomes 1 1 / 4



Additionally, added half an hour if:
 - Pass through the fog (except Charette and

   Ice custody)
 - Move diagonally
 - Killing creatures

and also 1 / 4 hours if the character is not fast
or 1 / 2 if it is slow.

Each character has a 7 3 / 4 hours that it can use up to the 
last quarters of an hour.


Fatigue

The hero gets tired at peredvizhenii.Ustalost y
Hero increases by one cu (Described below) except for those 
cases: 

 - He was faced with the creatures (2 cu)
 - He went through the fog and it is not Charette and

   Ice does not guard ($ 2)
 - It passes through the mountains and it is a giant ($ 2)
 - It passes through the mountains and it is not
giant (3 cu)

Conventional unit (cu) is the sum of
two numbers: the first - 2, 4 or 3 of the strong, weak, or 
'average' hero and the second follows from the table.



             Riding on foot

Luxor 2 January
Morkin 2 April
Rorthron 0 1
Taritel March 2
Charette April 2
Condemned 2 January
Barbarians 1
Ice Guard 2
Giants 0
Cave Gnomes 3



Hero becomes more depressed at 6
every time travels in the fog
if he does not Sharett or Ice Guard, and
32 every time you knock him out of the battle
(See the 'battle').

Negotiations

And when the hero approaches the character B is the number of 
attributes (such as 'Good' or 'loyal') which are

common to A and B, excluding the 'fast' and
'Slow'. This number is modified in such a
as follows:
 - Added 1 if B is not loyal
 - Multiplied by 2 if B treacherous
 - Added 3 if A Senor B
 - Added 2 if A owns any magical object

If the total number of 4 or more, the negotiations were 
successful. 

Battles

When a group of heroes, all of which are not friends gather in 
one place, then Every hero A hero fights with B chosen randomly 
from enemies And on this location. If the city (or fortress) 
contains the hero or the people unfriendly mood to

its owner, the city the army is becoming a "hero" and a fight 
with the hero B again randomly selected from enemies A

at this location. The results of the battle between A
and B are calculated as follows:

 - If a hero, then K = (2 * recklessness + depression + 
fatigue) / 4. If RND <= K (where RND - random number between 0 
and 255) or And if you have any weapons, then A attacks B

personally


   * If B owns Finorna runes, then
it did not happen.

   * With 25% probability of B will lose the horse
(Except in cases where B does not have a horse or
He Charette or Taritel)

   * If RND calculated before both odd and more than 
recklessness B, then B will be killed. In the case when B 
possesses a weapon he is 69% chance of escape. 

 - And then the army will attack the army B, therefore B is 
attacking army army A. Each battle between the armies of 1 and 
2 is calculated as follows: 

   * The value of C is calculated for each army
by (fatigue + constant) / 2, where
constant is taken from the following table and
corresponds to a particular type of army.


            riders foot soldiers

Lunar Guard 220
Doomed 200,150
Barbarians 180140
Ice Guard 220180
Giants 180
Cave Gnomes 160

This constant divided by 2 if the army is in the city or killed 
kreposti.Chislo two soldiers of the army is calculated by the 
formula ((N1 + C1) / C2) * (RND/256), where N1 - size

Army 1.If this number more than half
the size of the Army 2, then the army "stands out" from
this location and placed into the next, but
not necessarily in a nearby location (the commander of the Army 
2 will be informed that he won the battle). If the city loses 
all of its defenders, then it changes its owner.

If the commander loses his entire army, then
before being "knocked out" it will be attacked by a "sword." 
Rules of this attack is similar to the rules of battle heroes 
and described above.
