 LORDS OF MIDNIGHT, THE CITADEL
 ==============================


 EXPLORING THE BLOOD MARCH  
 -------------------------

 The module on this disk allows you to explore the realms of the Blood
 March,  the  land where "Lords of Midnight, The Citadel" takes place.


 System Requirements
 -------------------

 i386/i486 processor (486 recommended)
 VGA graphics card
 Mouse
 4 megabytes RAM 

 If  you  only  have 4 Meg of RAM, the program will just squeeze in by 
 the  time DOS and suchlike have grabbed their share of memory. Please
 ensure the maximum amount of memory is available for the program.

 The  program  runs  in  protected  mode  and  needs  a large chunk of 
 contiguous extended memory to run properly. To find out just how much
 is available on your machine, type MEM.  A  typical message back will 
 read:-

    655360  bytes conventional memory
    655360  bytes available to MS-DOS
    561100  largest executable program size

    3145728 bytes total contiguous extended memory
    3145728 bytes available contiguous extended memory

 The memory configuration shown here is sufficient to run the program.
 The  important  figure is the BYTES AVAILABLE. Various things in your
 your  CONFIG.SYS will considerably reduce available extended memory -
 Smartdrive and EMM for instance.

 To  maximize  available memory, REM out as many device drivers as you
 can  from  your  CONFIG.SYS  (they all begin DEVICE=) and then reboot 
 your system before running 'CITADEL'.

 Then type CITADEL and press return to start the program.



 Finding your way around
 -----------------------

 When  playing Lords of Midnight, notionally you have your nose buried 
 in  a  magical  book, the Book of the Blood March, a book that writes 
 itself as your read !

 The  mouse  controls  the  movement of your hand across the pages and 
 when  you  click  on the left mouse button, your index finger touches
 the  page.  Simply move your finger over an icon and its purpose will
 be  explained.  To use the icon, touch it by clicking with the mouse.     
 Whenever  the page has a turned-back corner, touching the corner will
 take you back to the page you were last looking at.

 The first page that you see after opening the Book of the Blood March
 is the Here and Now page, a special page that allows you to take part
 in  the  unfolding story.  By touching the icon of the rearing horse, 
 you  can  become  part of the scene on the page and the character you
 command  can  move  freely through the landscape. Now, instead of the
 mouse   controlling  your hand,  it  controls  the  movement  of  the 
 character you command. To stop 'doing' and start 'reading' again, you
 must press the space bar on your keyboard.

 When you open the book, there is a character standing waiting nearby 
 who will talk to you if you move close to him and press 'T'. When in
 conversation,  moving  the  mouse backwards and forwards will scroll 
 through  the  things you can say. Clicking the mouse button actually
 triggers  your  character saying the chosen words. The conversation,
 by  the  way, is only a sample one; because this module is dedicated
 to exploration, the true in-game conversations have little bearing. 

 Finally,  a cheat !  To help you roam far and wide through the lands 
 of  the  Blood March, we've left one of our favourite cheat keys in. 
 To  teleport  your  character directly to any chosen location, go to
 the  map,  point  to the place you want to go with your finger (your 
 on-screen  finger,  of  course) and press 'P' on the keyboard. Then,
 returning to the Here and Now page, you will find yourself magically
 transported to the new location.

            Have fun !

                Mike.
