EMPIRES: QUICK START

Before building....you need to survey land to find resources.

The color of each resource appears in the status bar in the game screen.

When you survey land, small colored boxes representing the various resources will appear in the game screen if you have any there.  Build one each of the following buildings on the proper resource/color or they wont produce anything!! After the first of each is built, you can double click on the buildings to see its production amount each turn.

The resources are as follows:

YELLOW = GOLD MINES
BLUE = SILVER MINES
PURPLE = STEEL MILLS
GREEN = WOOD MILLS
RED = FARMS 

Don't be greedy!!  MAKE SURE YOU BUILD ONLY ONE OF EACH TYPE TO START.  FAILURE TO DO SO MAY PREVENT YOU FROM BUILDING ANYMORE!

BUILDING ARMIES:
-----------------
1. RECRUIT TROOPS

2. MANUFACTURE WEAPONS AND ARMOR 

3. CREATE YOUR ARMIES AND ASSIGN WEAPONS AND ARMOR TO EACH TROOP(S)

4. PLACE YOUR ARMY ON THE MAP

5. USE THE DIRECTIONAL KEYS ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO MOVE THE ARMY. (# of moves per turn depend on the level of your army, and weapon and armor weight.  EX: a level 1 axe warrior with full armor may only get 3 moves per turn while a level 1 archer with only chest armor may get 7 moves per turn).


TRAINING
--------
1. THE TRAINING BUTTON ALLOWS YOU TO TRAIN YOUR TROOPS TO HIGHER AND MORE POWERFUL LEVELS.  HIGHER LEVEL TROOPS WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING A BATTLE.


Full Docs will be released shortly...this will get you started.
