    Довольно  неплохой-таки  стратеговичок
от Майка Синглетона с аркадными вставками.
Введу  в  курс дела: в далеком Среднеземье
разгорается война между силами тьмы и све-
та. Вам подчинены люди, гномы, эльфы и че-
тверо  хоббитцев, есть даже добрый старина
Гэндальф. Владения противника - страна Мо-
рдор, располагается на западе Среднеземья.
Столица Мордора - мрачный  Барад-Дур,  там
правит  злой колдун Саурон. К  тому  же  в
башне Ортханка засел его союзничек, колду-
нишка Саруман. The hobbit Frodo Baggins has a ring
Omnipotence, which can only be destroyed
in the mouth of the Orodruin volcano, which is located
in the center of Mordor. The enemy strives
pick up the ring, and if he succeeds, then
the war will be lost. Your troops are on the map
ka are indicated by icons in the form of shields, troops
the enemy's ka are not visible until a direct collision
playing with them, where the arcade insert will appear
ka and you will have to control jo- a little
stick. By the way, the ring can be carried
only single heroes, pass it on
can be done with the R key, because it will eventually
it corrupts the owner and he goes on
the enemy's side.                       
                                          
     Enemy troops - orcs, two sorcerers
and 9 Nazgul. More details about this toy
was described in one of the last issues
Spectrophone, so I'm spraying a lot here -
I won’t. Each squad has several
characteristics, the most important of them are
life (Energetic) and impact force (Strong).
There is also courage (Brave), which
which also greatly affects the force of the blow.
All characteristics have a number of parameters,
I will give their values in increasing order -
ke. By the way, N5 is an average value, it is written
without prefixes, for example Strong - just
strong. 1 - Not at all - not at all             
 2 - Not - not                   
 3 - Not very - not very             
 4 - Somewhat - several            
 5 - - simple               
 6 - Fairly - tolerable               
 7 - Extremely - extremely               
                                         
    And also the main characteristics of the fighters: 
                                          
 Name Strength Energy           
                                         
 Gnomes 4 4.5             
 Elves 3 4.5             
 Mens 2,3,4 3,4             
Hobitts3 4             
 Wizards 4.7 4             
 Nazguls 7 3.4             
 Orcs 2,3 3,4,7            
                                         
    The optimal level of play is 7. Immediately
it will be easy for you, and then from the depths of Mordo-
ra selected orcs will come up, and you will have to
sweat a little so that the clanging of swords and vi-
wash away the house of enemy blood from God knows where
there was a slight smell. And finally
a couple of tips:                
                 
    Rest more, especially in castles,
it affects courage, especially of warriors
from Minas Tirith, and vice versa - less re-
move without rest over long distances
nia.                                      
               
    If you rest for a very long time, then energy
your fighters are growing.              
               
    If a ring bearer takes part in the battle and
press R, then it is transferred to the adjacent lo-
cation, but this greatly corrupts him. (At-
evidence of this is a certain notorious Beard,
who used his too often
electric masturbator ring).              
                                          
    Mark the places where it accumulates
opponent, they are always the same, but I
out of principle I won’t tell you them, and
next time you play,
immediately send significant forces there,
so as not to catch the troops for a long time
enemy one by one.                    
                                          
    Your main stronghold is the citadel of Minas Ti-
rit, if he falls, then the game will too
lost.              
                                          
                                          
 Well, that's all for now, for advice and help
