        WEREWOLF

         The werewolf was not an easy catch. The gatherers hunted it over a

        though, but still it'll prove to be a fearful enemy.

         Everybody can only imagine how these horrors were created. The one
        fact above all else is, that these beasts paralyze with their hits!

         The walking ghost is also here. He's faster than the eye. Though,
        in the arenas, he will become familiar with the word: lag...

       GORILLA
              
         Someone may think: WHY ON EARTH THERE IS A BLOODY GORILLA IN THE
        GAME!? The answer simply is: Only the gatherers know. They have
        seen gorilla fighting... And who can deny gorilla's strength?
        It certainly isn't the stupidest warrior in the arenas, is it?

         Elminster arrived himself here, and when someone of the gatherers
        asked why he was here, he simply answered: "I'm here to amuse
        myself! Ye ought not to be afraid, young lad, for if I am about
        to die, I will teleport back to a safe place. And besides, I will
        not use my best spells, just a shock here and there.

       SHADOW     
              
         The ghosts of the dead arena fighters are seeking revenge.
        These are not really arena fighters. But since they fight in the
        arenas, the keepers have decided to let them remain, and they even
        watch the shadows' fighting with a smile.

 3.     TACTICS & TIPS

                There are several tactics to play Millenium wars 2

        Hit & run :     If you are a melee fighter and a fast one, you win
                        by hitting the opponent once, and then running away.
                        Then again, and again...
                        RECOMMENDED FOR: Hero

        Just hack :     Quick melee attack is best used when you just
                        run after your opponent and hack all the time.
                        RECOMMENDED FOR: Barbarian, Ninja, Indian, Bomber
                                         Scout, Yoda, Werewolf

        Stationary :    Owning a ranged weapon and somekind of a shield
                        or other thing that bounces bullets and spells
                        back, you can shoot opponents and then use your
                        block for possible counterattacks.
                        RECOMMENDED FOR: Native, Wizard, Robocop, Necromancer
                                         Vorlon
        High place
        camping    :    Find a high place where you must jump to, and then
                        guard the place. Everytime when someone tries to
                        jump there, hit or shoot him, and he'll never make
                        it. Fun!
                        RECOMMENDED FOR: All

        Flee :          Coward's tactic. Running away all the time, and by
                        a ranged weapon, shooting the pursuers everytime it
                        is possible. The interest to the game ends quickly.
                        NOT RECOMMENDED

        Mine passage :  If you can lay mines or remote bombs, lay them to  
                        passages where there's not enough room to jump. :)
                        RECOMMENDED FOR: Soldier, Pyroman, Agent, Sapper,
                                         Terrorist

        TIPS:

              With Vinminen, you should sing the words of water when
             an opponent is jumping over a mine etc. He sinks down a little,
             and will hit the object. Words of water may also be used to drop
             an enemy from the elevator. It's mean, though.

              When as a soldier or as a Pyroman, you may use their mines 
             as melee weapons. This is called the exploding fist... You may 
             also want to drop mines on an elevator, the mine will explode 
             when the elevator starts moving up. This can be done with 
             bananas and spikes, too.

              If you can use dynamites, use them when fighting melee. 
             They're red, so the opponents might think them as blood.

              Watch out for bouncing places (White colour) such as white
             walls and places bombed by the Jerk. And you may find some use
             for them, as well.

              The bananas may be useful, too. You can get to high places
             by them. Eventually.

              The farmer's seeds may seem useless at first, but you may
             throw them on a climbing fellow, so he can't climb any more, or
             you may throw seeds over mines so that you can walk over them.
             (Remember to throw enough!)

 4. POWER UPS

        In addition to falling medikits, you can find several other powerups
        falling from the sky. These are:
           
                1. Damaging powerup     (red D)          -
                2. Slowness powerup     (blue S)         -
                3. Haste powerup        (cyan H)         +
                4. Power powerup        (yellow P)       +
                5. Rapid fire           (red R)          +
                6. Jump strength        (magenta J)      +
                7. Regeneration boost   (green R)        +
                8. Random powerup       (black)          ?

        These powerups may be created by pressing backspace in the game. 
        It's so that when game comes boring (long fight etc.) You may create
        a couple of these to change the course of the game.
        You may also agree to put 1-5 powerups when the game starts, it
        will not affect the game much, but getting a regeneration or
        rapid fire will help.

 5. EDITING

        Of course, you're able to create your own arenas or even characters
        to the game. 

    CREATING AN ARENA:    This one's easy, you draw a 320x200x256 .pcx using 
                          only the first sixteen colors. Then making a .dat
                          file, too, which includes the number of elevators
                          and their coordinates (left upper corner) Then the
                          number of items in the level (like mines, spikes,
                          medkits) and their attributes (look other levels)
                          (Type, x, y, x+, y+, dmg, counter)
                          then number of traps (like turrets&arrow traps)
                          (Type, x, y, x+, y+, dmg, counter, shoot counter)

                          Then you update the maps.dat by increasing the
                          first number by one and adding the name of
                          the map after it.

    CREATING A CHARACTER: This one's tougher. First you must make eleven
                          files with my pm.bas 

     IMAGE FILES           1: Walking frame 1
                           2: Walking frame 2
                           3: Walking frame 3
                           4: Walking frame 4
                           5: Action 1 frame 1
                           6: Action 1 frame 2
                           7: Action 2 frame 1
                           8: Action 2 frame 2
                           9: Action 3 frame 1
                          10: Action 3 frame 2
                          11: Damage picture
                         
                          The images should be named as XXXX1. - XXXX11.
                          Like if we would do the hercules again we would
                          do it like this:  herc1. 
                                            herc2.
                                            herc3.
                                            .
                                            .
                                            .
                                            herc11.
                          After the pics, we make the XXXX.dat file. like
                          herc.dat.
                          Which includes:

     DATA FILE            Health, speed, jump strength, height, blood color,
                          regenerating, attack 1, attack time 1, attack dmg 1,
                          attack 2, attack time 2, attack dmg 2,
                          attack 3, attack time 3, attack dmg 3.

                          The normal health amount is 100 (1-160)
                                     Speed is 1
                                     Jump strength is 1.5
                          Height is -1 (if your character fills the whole
                               picture. If it lacks one pixel, it's 0...)
                          Blood color is 4 (Red)
                          Regenerating is 0 (0.1 is normal regeneration)
                          Attack is 1-64 (Look from the files which does
                               which.)
                          Attack time is 1-?? (The bigger the slower.
                               25 is average. 100 is slow. 200 is very slow.)
                          Attack damage is 0-?? (Make it reasonable.)
                           (And there's no point to make climbing or block
                           to deal damage.)

     CONVERTING           After this you should have eleven picture files and
     AUTOMATICALLY        one data file. Then you start convert.bas and
                          write the four letters which are in your pic and
                          data files. like: herc

     UPDATING             Then it's done. Quit the program and add the
     TYPES.DAT            character to the file types.dat and increase the
                          first number by one. And try to write the 
                          character's name to the right spot in alphabetical
                          order.

     CONVERTING           By the way, the convert.bas removes the pic and
     MANUALLY             data files and creates one .mw2 file. If you don't
                          want to lose the files, you should copy them else-
                          where or do the .mw2 file manually. You'll see
                          how it's done when you look one of the files.

 7. Known bugs

       A game without bugs is something no one has ever achieved.
       Little is known about this game's bugs, but some of them
       are listed below:

         You occasionally gain health instead of losing it.
          Happens with mines, poison and 'fetters of rime'
          Don't know what's wrong.

         Things won't always touch the ground, but levitate one pixel
         above it. 
          Happens with bananas, mines, spikes, rocks...
          I know the problem. I round the variables too much...

         Computer AI should be regarded as a bug... :)
          Everybody knows that a wiser computer requires more code, and
          that's something I can't afford with QBasic.
