║ oOo Release Notes oOo ║
║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║
║ ║
║ Medieval armies usually consisted of a king or his appointed commander, ║
║ knights, men at arms, mercenaries, and often untrained militia from the ║
║ surrounding countryside. It would usually be organized into a number of ║
║ wings or groups each consisting of a mixture of the available arms types. ║
║ Nobles, Knights, and men at arms usually occupied the center of a wing, ║
║ while the more mobile missile armed troops screened their flanks. The ║
║ militia were generally relegated to guarding camps and were not usually ║
║ trusted in battle. ║
║ ║
║ On the field, the wings could be aligned in lines or columns depending upo║n
║ the position adopted. The English usually fought dismounted and adopted a ║
║ defensive position, employing woods or other natural obstacles to guard ║
║ their flanks. Continental armies usually assumed an offensive posture, ║
║ attacking with their wings in column. ║
║ ║
║ The interrelationships of the various unit types was very important to the║
║ evolution of strategy on the medieval battlefield. The mounted knight ║
║ provided the most effective combination of speed and shock but even the ║
║ knight could not ride the battlefield with impunity. Longbow and pikemen ║
║ proved they could stand and turn back the stiffest cavalry charge. Each ║
║ unit type in a wing was most effectively used in concert with each other. ║
║ ║
║ Medieval is a tactical combat game depicting various field battles that ║
║ took place in the period from about 500 AD to 1500 AD. The game system ║
║ itself is basically "scale-less" but is generally built around a 25 ║
║ yards per hex/25 men per unit system. As with previous Incredible ║
║ Simulations' titles, Medieval was designed to be a fast turn based game. ║
║ There are no seperate phases for movement and combat. Players may perform ║
║ any available action at any time during their turn segment. Most of the ║
║ scenarios have been scaled down to keep the battles tight and focused. ║
║ ║
║ Includes an editor and all the documentation in the game. Right after this║
║ was released, several patches were put out, and we've already updated the ║
║ game so you get the most current game. PBEM (Play By E-Mail) support is ║
║ included in the game. ║
║ ║
║ So this isn't exactly a stellar title, but PC Gamer gave this game a 90%, ║
║ so if you like turn based games, then you just might like this game. ║
║ ║

║ oOo Ramblings of a Rufus oOo ║
║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║
║ ║
║ There are a few things I would like to take some time to address for no ║
║ other real reason than I am tired of the EMail we receive. So many of you ║
║ out there are confused and it is about time someone sets you straight. I ║
║ would like to think I speak for the majority of the other groups out there ║
║ when I say this, but that is for them to decide. First off, we do not ║
║ waste our fucking time uploading to AOL. Everyday there is EMail from ║
║ somegimp@AOL.COM saying that the release we mailed them was in 4 parts ║
║ and one of the disks was missing or it had a CRC error. Get it through ║
║ your thick heads, WE DO NOT MASS MAIL TO YOUR SORRY ASSES. Second, we DO ║
║ NOT sell CDs so stop wasting bandwith and our time with such questions. ║
║ third, the ACE compression is not OUR compression. Just like RAR, someone ║
║ else coded it, we just use it. This brings me to another point, it seems ║
║ that after our releases have trickled down to the average Joe files are ║
║ very often missing. No CLASS.NFO, no FILE_ID.DIZ, various parts of our ║
║ INSTALLATION program, etc. If the INSTALL.EXE does not work for you, this ║
║ means you have to MANUALLY decompress the game. Yes, the horror. Having ║
║ to do something as complicated as UNACE X FILENAME.ACE You can also use ║
║ ACE.EXE instead of UNACE.EXE. If you are still reading this and want to ║
║ know just where you can get ACE.EXE the answer is simple: ║
║ ║
║ http://WWW.GAME-OVER.NET ║
║ ║
║ While you are there you can also read about what has been released and get ║
║ reviews of recent games. This can be extremely helpful if you find ║
║ yourself getting a lot of FAKE RELEASES. If you want to know which are ║
║ REAL and which are NOT you should read a Monthly Game Report like JTF or ║
║ some of the various others. JTF can be found here: ║
║ ║
║ http://www.mygale.org/~jtf98/index.html ║
║ ║
║ Now that I have insulted the millions of AOL customers and educated the ║
║ rest I am going to answer a few questions the average Joe will be asking ║
║ themselves. ║
║ ║
║ Q: Well, if you don't upload to AOL, Offer on IRC, have public FTP sites, ║
║ or have your releases available on the web, how am I supposed to get ║
║ your games? ║
║ ║
║ A: Not our problem. Maybe if you DID something for the scene and ║
║ contributed in some form or fashion you would not be stuck with these ║
║ problems. Nothing in the world is free, if you want something you need ║
║ to get out there and earn it. ║
║ ║
║ Q: Are you accepting couriers? Sites? ║
║ ║
║ A: NO, NO, AND NO. Since day #1 we have not been accepting couriers nor ║
║ do we have any plans on accepting couriers. Stop EMailing us with this ║
║ question. ║
║ ║
║ Q: Do you have a Web Page? ║
║ ║
║ A: Does it look like we have one? If/When we ever do, believe me we will ║
║ advertise it here. ║
║ ║
║ Q: Why are you such an asshole? ║
║ ║
║ A: I am just very talented. Thank you, and see you in the next release. ║
