Battle Isle 2, 23.02.1994


This text contains the last changes which could not have been
inserted in the printed manuals.


Multiple-player mode
--------------------
Different from the procedure described in the manual, in the
multiple-player-mode there is a kind of K.O.-system for all
players. This means that the major aim for all players is to
destroy all enemy units. The one with the last remaining units
will become the victor. A player who has lost all his units
will be passed over by the others when the current round has
ended. His depots are then free to be occupied by the others.
The alliances that were set in the menu are guilty. An alliance
will be ended if an allied unit or shop was destroyed or occupied.
Such an action ends every alliance.


Campaign-score
--------------
The campaign-score (VECOSE) will be be distributed for experienced
units as the following:

0-3		: no score, (line 1-4)
4-5		: 1 point (wings 1-2)
6-8		: 2 points (wings 3 - Double Wings)
9 and 10	: 3 points (cross 1-2


Fight Display
-------------
With the F2-key the attack-mode can be changed from the complete
display to the brief display. With this the player is enabled to
watch only to some of the sequences.


Music Drivers
-------------
If certain problems appear, we recommend to search for the reasons
of these problems step by step. Some reasons may be caused by the
routines for the music and the effects combined with the use of
memory-managers and not compatible sound-boards.
First toggle off the music, then the effects. Check all driver-settings
and make sure that these are chosen properly (sometimes there are
several drivers for one sound-board).
Search for driver-updates for your sound-board if you own old
versions or "unusual" boards.
Further questions may be answered by our hotline. Please have a
detailed description of the error at hand.


Saving
------
Battle Isle 2 is a very complex game that will surprise you every
time you play it with its great diversity and build-in background-story.
Dealing with the different units in a useful way needs some testing
as well as experience. So think of saving the current game as often
you can and try everything, watch at the appearing effects and learn
exactly how to treat the enemy units the best ways.
Once saved games enable you even to start senseless looking actions
or just to play for fun.


Passwords
---------
The first password for the campaign-mode is AMPORGE.
The passwords for the multiple-player-mode are:
YETUDWA, WAGOPAY, ZAFLUGE and SKATZWA.


Program-parameters
------------------
BI2 <GM> <FAST>

GM: General Midi
To initialize your General Midi Board correctly start the program BI2 GM.
This option offers you a sequence, that adapts the Pitch Bending to the
sound-board. The program announces this while starting.

FAST: Quick-Start
The program will always start the last saved game. With the parameter
FAST you can pass the introduction and start immediately.
