Battle of Atlantis
Battle for Atlantis is a single-player, shareware, keyboard controlled
Risk -like game. The object of the game is to conquer all eight islands. The
player always plays as the Olympians and the computer plays as the other three
adversaries, the Calydonians, Argonauts, and the Titans.
The game starts by asking the player for a difficulty setting, 1 is Easy and 7
is Hard, and follows this by asking for the maximum number of armies that can
be in any country at the start of a game. When the game starts, the computer
decides who goes first, the players take turns. In each turn they place their
armies, then they may optionally attack any neighboring country and finally
when all attacking is completed they may move armies from one country to an
adjacent country.
The attacking phase is managed by the computer, once initiated the game
reports the outcome, i.e. how many armies each side has remaining, and asks
the player if the attack should continue. Attacks can continue until the
attacker aborts, wins or loses the battle.
During the game rebellions may break out, natural hazards such as earthquakes,
flooding may strike, or god weather may increase crops and hence the ability
of a country to support more armies.
