1. As with almost all Vassal modules, right click on most everything to learn the counters' capabilities and/or special features. 2. Log Pads are "active." Right click each area for a menu on the various operations possible for each section/entry. 3. Logs can also be masked from, and revealed to other players as necessary. To mask your log, simply select the color Gladiator Box Cover in the middle of Section 14 and hit enter. The box cover should turn black & white to indicate the log is masked...
(Note: The first player to mask any unmasked log takes control of it. So play carefully and/or fair) 4. Gladiator movement is designed for use of your numpad keys with the numlock off (remember, "only numlocs use numlock!")...  5. Note that when your Gladiator is "Face Up" that movement commands may seem counter-intuitive. "AHEAD RIGHT" & "AHEAD LEFT" are towards the gladiators' feet as that is the way he is actually facing. So remember to try not to confuse direction/facing with up/down in reference to the visuals on the counter. (Yes, the visual makes it seem it should be otherwise, but it really shouldn't if you stop and think about it. *grin*) 6. Also note that you will occasionally get gladiators stepping on each others' heads on-screen. It's just the nature of the fake-3D in a 2D environment beast. Simply select the gladiator with the headache to assuage each visual incongruity. 7. "Why do you always start with version 0.95/where is the final version?" ...An original "final" version (i.e. v1.00) is NEVER the final version. There is always something that can be improved. Too often there is something that needs to be fixed... Starting my releases with v0.95, is my ode to the inevitable! |
