[00/12] Black Raven - demo v0.02

Get msg, All!

Demo in .Z80 format.
Under the Lunter emulator, run only in MS-DOS mode.
Under UKV - no difference.
Who doesn’t know how to get a magic file (via UKV) - it’s written in the doc.

Controls in general resemble those in UFO-1.
The Enter key is duplicated by the 'X' key for players joysticks.

Actions on the buttons are performed either immediately, or you need to point the cursor
to the target and press Space or 'M' (in this case, the button is colored red)
If the gold/forest values turn pink, the "cost" of the
button is displayed.
Pressing the button with the image of the hero places it in the center.
The 'F' (acceleration) key is active only when pressed.
The key in the lower left corner is the entrance to SetUp.
When Caps is pressed, you can select with a frame (in a group - no more than 6 people)
You can also play on the map - it is especially convenient to indicate the purpose of movement.

Music - from JAM from the Moscow region.

-------------------------------------------------

For fun, select the Wizard and click on the 'scorpions' button.
And then send everyone somewhere. Have you forgotten how cockroaches scatter in the kitchen if you turn on the light there at night? :)))

-------------------------------------------------

Interested in:
How it behavescampston mouse.
How it plays under a b/w monitor.
How it behaves on non-pentagons (especially on old scorpions and in
turbo mode)
Comments on the interface (with suggestions for alternatives).
Any comments.

Warm greetings, Slava.

Nobody hits anyone??? And scorpions are nothing, only there are not enough of them and they live
a long time.

VM> Comments on the interface (with suggestions for alternatives).

The arrow would move more smoothly!

VM> Any comments.

Paint the unopened space black, otherwise some squares with
diamonds = :((((((

Hasta la vista, Vyacheslav.
With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei

Get msg, Sergei!

Black Raven - demo v0.02:

The most frequently asked questions about subj.

SN> No one strikes anyone???

In this demo version, strikes can be struck on foot and horsemen, and some
evil spirits (for example, scorpions). The rest are shooting (which isn't happening yet). By the way, enemy warriors
if they are attacked they try to respond, if you run away from them, they will pursue.
Enemy peasants try to run away from attacks. So to speak, intelligence
of the very, very lowest level :)) (have you found any enemies?)

SN> And scorpions - nothing, just not enough

I mean, a lot. Should be 1-4 (depending on mana). This is simply a demonstration of the maximum possible number of people fighting for one side (48). The same amount can be for the enemy. Plus 6 prisoners. It is noticeable that the number of heroes on the screen
strongly affects the speed.

SN> they live a long time.

All the parameters are so far stupid. They will adjust (in the sense of qualitatively
rip off WarCraft1, with a stopwatch in hand. How else? :)))

Another frequent question: what to do with the peasants. Answer: nothing. In the demo they
can only glitchyly cut down the forest :)) It’s a pity that a couple of days after sending the demo
they were already doing it correctly, they could mine gold, they ran together to the base, and
then back to work - but only I see this:(((

SN> squares with diamonds = :(((((
Sorry for interfering, but in the settings you can instead of squares with diamonds
put a black square. In settings you just need to point the arrow at
the square with a diamond and press Space. The square with a diamond will disappear.
