         Software Description:
         ---------------------
         
         Warlords, The Quest for the Iridian Throne is a multi-player 
         game loosely based on the game Empire.  The individual 
         players create a empire that they must manage.  This 
         management includes keeping people happy, handling
         covert activities, and managing military resources and 
         ultimately to determine strategy that will put the player on 
         top of all empires.
         
         Its not easy as the Galactic Newspaper often tells of 
         under-handed activities that you may be involved with.  
         Fortunately it is possible to publish an article in this 
         paper to tell your side of the story.
         
         As a rising Emperor you may find it useful to ally with one 
         of your neighbors.  You can use inter-galactic mail and 
         military transfers of goods and military supplies to make 
         this alliance.
         
         Do you have what it takes??
         
         
         Software Requirements:
         ----------------------
         
         1.  FALKEN BBS v6.x or greater
         
         2.  At least 165k of Doors Memory.
         
         3.  All accounts that play the game *MUST* have a 8 character
             account number that is unique to each player.  This
             account number is used to create mailboxes for each 
             player for inter-game mail.
         
         4.  Every day at a predetermined time the program
             CLEANWAR.EXE is to be run.  This program will reset
             flags so that players will get new turns every day.  
             This is best done by a timer-event.  Refer to the FALKEN 
             users manual for a complete description of timer-event.

             MAINBBS.EXE is located.
         
         3.  Copy WAR40.EXE to the standard directory that you place
             your doors programs at.  Then run FALKEN's BBSCFG
             and indicate the key and the path to the WAR30.EXE
             executable.  Refer to your FALKEN manual for complete
             information on the installation of DOORS.

         5.  Run NEWWAR.EXE in the directory that MAINBBS.EXE
             resides.

             Answer the questions and the proper files will
             be created.

             It is advised that turns be set to 5 a day, more would
             disturb the balance of the game.

             It is also advised to set the winning score at 175000
             for a medium length game, less for a shorter game, more
             for a longer game.
