Article

Conqueror! may be played with from two to six players. Each player starts with one planet and a supply of ships. By attacking and conquering other planets in the galaxy, any player may become the conqueror. A galaxy is composed of from 10 to 26 planets, each planet garrisoning up to 95 fleets. Some planets can produce a limited number of fleets each stardate. Generated fleets are added at the end of each stardate to the arsenal of the player who owns the planet.

Another planet is attacked by sending an armada of fleets to it. Fleets may travel only at the speed of light, and so might take several stardates to get from one planet to another. Once launched, a fleet may not be recalled. Upon arrival at an enemy planet, attacking fleets automatically engage defending fleets. Battle continues until one player withdraws or is wiped out. You may reinforce a planet in your possession by sending fleets to it.

The winner is the last player on the board, or owns the most planets when the turn counter runs out.

A turn is taken in three parts: arrival phase, command phase, and production phase. During arrival fleets arrive at destination planets. If the destination planet is owned by another player or is a neutral planet, conflict begins. During battle, you may have to input commands. Both attacker and defender have the option of disengaging.

This phase is followed by the command phase. Use the map chart.

To begin the game, load and type RUN. Follow the prompts. ID letters follow sequentially—remember yours! There is no limit to number of turns. Planet range is 10-26. Begin each player’s turn by hitting the up arrow. Right arrow starts the game over. Fleets travel from source to destination. Enter source first, destination second, and number of fleets third. An OK prompt follows—commands are not shown on screen. A command will not be accepted if the source planet is not owned by the commanding player, or the number of fleets being sent exceeds the number stationed at the

source planet. The down arrow key advances the player counter and lets the next player enter moves.

As battle commences, there will be a display: the names of the combatants; the name of the planet under attack; the gunnery rating of each fleet; and the number of fleets on each side. A short pause ensues; this is the time to withdraw if desired "Status" represents the efficiency of the gun crews, and effects how many hits the opposing fleet will take, determined by random. The attacker withdraws by hitting the A key, and the defender by hitting the ; key. You may also withdraw at any time during battle. Withdrawn fleets are automatically routed to the nearest friendly planet. If there are no friendly planets, withdrawing is not allowed. If neither player withdraws, battle continues until one player’s fleets are gone, and possession of the planet passes to the winner. Defenders fire first.

Conqueror! is mostly Basic, with additional assembly language subroutines for easy mixing of text and graphics. The subroutine appeared in the April 1983 issue of The Color Computer Magazine, in an article entitled "Reformat Your Video" by Steve Odneal. A change to Steve’s original screen expander is replacement of the character table. Those of you using Telewriter 64 with Dean Rector‘s "Wizard" upgrade may recognize the script-like characters; Dean kindly gave permission for use of his character set in this one program.

To use the program listing you will need a copy of the screen expander. Any screen expander should work as long as it uses CHR$(11) for implementing x/y cursor positioning. (end)

°Arrival: Fleets are reinforced or battle begins. Either player may disengage.

*Command:

(1) Star Map shows planet’s physical positions.

(2) Strength Map shows fleet strength on each planet.

(3) Production Map shows fleet production per stardate.

(4) Status Map shows ownership. Neutral planets designated by +.

Up Arrow Key and numerical keys 1 -4 change map display. Up Arrow alone for move entry. Down Arrows for next player. Right Arrow for new game.

*Production: Fleets built on production planets. No planet can support more than 95 fleets for more than one stardate.
