Game Play Changes
=================
Since the Manual and the Technical Supplement were
written, we have added a number of enhancements and
changes to Fields of Glory.

New Keyboard Commands
---------------------
Press the "W" key to end the game with the current result.

Press Ctrl-M to open the last friendly Orders box.

Press Ctrl-[ to start a new game.

Press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-2 to exit to DOS.

Army Changes
------------
To add more national flavor to each army, the unit names
have been translated into their national languages. This
did, however, create an inconsistency in the French army
where corps numbers are displayed as Roman numerals rather
than by French notations such as 2me Corps.

Command Changes
---------------
As well as the "Rejoin Command" order (see the Technical
Supplement), we have added an order to allow commanders
to bring all their detached units back under their direct
command. When a "Reattach Units" is given by a commander
all previously detached units will return to the direct
control of the commander and will maneuver back to his
position. The commander will then reorganise his units,
before continuing with his Operational Order.

Routing Brigades
----------------
Brigades that have routed may rally and return to their
commander for further orders. A message is displayed
saying that the brigade has rejoined its commander. The
next time their commander is ordered, they will absorb
the returned brigade as for Reattach Units. The brigade
may also be ordered independently by the player.

Army and Wing Commanders
------------------------
These commanders may be moved by the player around the
battlefield in order to inspire their troops. To move an
Army or Wing Commander, open his order box and then click
on the desired destination point.

Occupying Buildings
-------------------
Infantry can be ordered to occupy buildings by selecting
a building as their destination point. Once the infantry
reach the destination, they will enter the building and
gain the benefits of the cover of the building from enemy
fire and assaults.

Ending a Game
-------------
The game will automatically finish when 70% of either
side has been killed or permanently routed, or at 21:30,
whichever occurs first.

Reviewing the Game
------------------
You can review the current level of victory by pressing
the "R" key.

Delayed Orders
--------------
Orders are always passed from the army commander to his
subordinate commanders and then to the unit involved. At
Guard difficulty level, the delivery of an order is
delayed by the time it takes for an order to travel down
the command structure. This means that it will take a
while for a unit to respond to your direct orders. Be
patient: the unit will respond when the order reaches
it. Until then, the unit's order box will display its
previous order.
             
Issuing Lots of Orders
----------------------
On slower machines, when you issue lots of orders at the
start of the large battles (Waterloo and Ligny), the game
will slow down as the game's AI transmits the orders. To
avoid this problem, issue your initial orders to your
Corps commanders and then issue more direct orders to
divisions and brigades as they move into contact with the
enemy. Alternatively, issue your initial orders and then
wait until they have been implemented before giving any
further ones.

Windows 95 Compatibility
========================
Fields of Glory can be installed and run under Windows
95. Please follow the instructions below.

    "Suggest MS-DOS mode if necessary." If there are no
    check marks, then click on those boxes.

8.  Click the OK button.

9.  Click the next OK button.

3.  Double-click the icon labeled "FOG" to start the game.

Windows 95 Boot Disk
--------------------
If you create a boot disk under Windows 95, it will be 
missing the mouse driver since Windows 95 has its own

line for the mouse driver to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Your
mouse driver is usually located in a \MOUSE directory.
If you have any problems, please call your computer
manufacturer.

NexGen Compatibility
====================
If you play Fields of Glory on a NexGen system, the game
may play too fast. However, you can work around this 
problem by changing your CMOS configuration. If you are
not an experienced computer user, we recommend you 
consult your computer dealer in order to change your
CMOS configuration. Spectrum HoloByte is not responsible
for loss of your CMOS information.

If you are comforatable changing your CMOS configuration:

1. Restart the computer and press the DELETE key as i 
   boots up in order to go to the CMOS setup.

2. Double-click on the "Advanced" icon.

3. Move the cursor down to "CPU cache" and click on it.

4. Click on "Disabled."

5. Press the ESC key twice.

6. Click on "Save changes and exit" to exit the CMOS setup.
