| Does it have a password feature?

305.2 | No Password needed for this game. | DNEAST::DUMAIS_BOB | | Mon Aug 07 1989 14:01 | 6 |
| No Password for this game. You would not play this game for more
than one hour or so at a time. If it takes longer, you would
probably be defeated or win yourself. This is somewhat like a
board game, the objective to win England and become king.

305.3 | It's Too Difficult | PUERTO::BARBUTO | | Sat Aug 19 1989 23:01 | 13 |
| I just picked up this game from a local eletronic store. I always
pick Wilfred of Ivanhoe. So far the best I've done is conquer 2 of the
3 enemy lords. The problem is: the third one always contains vast
amounts of land and it's too hard to conquer it all. He always has at
least three castles and conquering them all takes too much time. Spoilers
are welcome wholehearted. Just wanna finish this one and start with
my other new games.
Thanks in advance.

Hi John,
You need to use strategy to defeat the opponents. The thing I
noticed is that the Norman's earn more money for their land than you do for
your land. Each castle of the Saxons earns 3 golds on each turn. The Norman
castles earn 8 golds each turn. I've won with each of the Saxons.
**** Spoilers Follow ****
If you defeat the home castle of the enemy all the other territories
which they own becomes your territory. You need, in most cases, to get one
of the enemy territories (their home castle) early in the game. Remember that
Robin Hood can help you in defeating the enemy, when asked, three times.
Let me know if you need more specifics.

| O.K. Here's how I have found the catapult works best. Check the
instructions! I have learned by trial and error. When you first
attack the enemies castle you will see the number of solders in his
army. Choose you weapon type to launch. The Disease bomb does more
damage when used early. Then the Greek Fire takes about 10 percent of
the remaining force each time used. The rocks are strictly a timing
thing. I count the number of clicks the catapult is drawn back and let
go around nine or ten for the top of the wall. The next around six or
seven, and the next four or five. Again, most of this is in the
instructions so I don't believe that there are any spoilers here.

305.7 | | BOSHOG::LEWIS | | Tue Aug 29 1989 09:45 | 13 |
| Help! Need information/spoilers to figure out this game....
such as:
* How do you "buy" an army? I go to that screen, move the cursor
to "soldiers" and push "A" button but nothing ever seems to
happen. What am I doing wrong?
* How do you get help from Robin Hood?
* Any other hints/spoilers?
Thanks

305.8 | Here's some info. | DNEAST::DUMAIS_BOB | | Tue Aug 29 1989 17:10 | 11 |
| Bob,
To buy an army press the A button, and it will change the color of
the sword. Then you use the left or right arrow of the control pad to
buy or sell any selections. Press the A button again when finished.
You can only sell back on the same turn. If you have already bought
armies etc. you cannot sell them back later. Check out the instructions
for Robin's help. You must move the cursor to Sherwood Forest in move
mode. Let me know if you need more help.

| Okay, it's time for help.
SPOILER FOLLOWS
First thing you do in this game is invade lands so you'll have land
to joust for. Then RAID!!!! This is a effecient way to get money.
When you have enough money, buy castles for your land, especially the
ones that pay you the most income, and an army. Then start conquering
enemy lands, using Robin's help wisely. Call tornaments to gain land
( the lands with the most income especially) and leadership points.
Use the other replys in this notefile to good use,too.
Feel free to ask me any other questions.

305.12 | Hint | NETWKS::KOPELEN | | Fri Jun 19 1992 15:00 | 5 |
| here's a hint on the seige. First send in the disease, fire, fire, and
three boulders. The key is to knock as much of the wall as possible, it
makes a difference in the battle.
