## Description
Based on the same engine as TeleWar, _TeleEpic_ is a two-player medieval
strategy game intended to be played via modem, alternatively via null-modem or
taking turns at a single computer.
In a split screen fashion, the top half of the screen features scrolling low
resolution graphics, while the lower half contains a high-resolution user
interface and a chatlog. The game is entirely controlled using the mouse,
cycling between your men and pointing them at their destination, choosing
weapon and direction of attack using buttons at the bottom half of the screen.
Your army consists of a dozen men, all armed with throwing daggers, throwing
axes, a bow and arrows and a sword for melee combat. Each man has a unique
number of hit points and “stride” (movement points). In order to regenerate,
he can be told to rest or heal for a turn. Battle may be done in eight
directions, requiring careful placement of your units, and choosing a weapon
with the correct range. Ranged weapons such as arrows or throwing axes can
only be used while supplies last.
The game is finished once the enemy army is destroyed, or if the flag is
captured. Three scenarios with different maps and terrain features are built-
in. Games may be saved and replayed later, or transfered via modem to other
users.
It was followed by TeleEpic II.
