1. Civ89 Instructions for PowerPoint

2. Getting Started Civ89 is a game of military, technological, and economic conquest played with two people, identified by the colors black and gray, on one TI-89, TI-89 Titanium, TI-92 plus, or Voyage 200 calculator Game files must be in the main folder Only the program files (civ89, zciv89) may be archived Before playing, back up all important data to a computer. While I have done my best to ensure that this program will not harm your calculator, it is possible that your calculator will crash while running Civ89, as with all games of such complexity

10. Military Tip: press MODE to see movement points on the map screen instead of a health bar Limitations: –There can be no more than 10 units in a space without a city and 25 units in a space with a city –Each player is limited to 50 cities and 300 units total –Units from only one player can occupy any given space

11. Military How to attack: –Move adjacent to an enemy unit –Press the direction of the enemy unit

12. Military The effects of attacking: –Attacking costs 1 movement point –Units can only attack once per turn –Different unit types have different attack powers against ground and water units, air units, and high air units –Some units have a blast radius, allowing them to attack units at several spaces at once –Some units self-destruct after attacking –Damage is partially random

13. Military Defending: –The unit most likely to survive is selected to defend each space –If the defending unit is destroyed… If it is not in a city, all other units at that space are also destroyed If it is in a city, only it is destroyed

14. Military Building and buying units: –Each city can produce units –Selecting a city: Go to the city’s space on the map Press ENTER to select the space If necessary, press ENTER again to select the city You can also press “c” to activate the next city

17. Military Building and buying units: –In addition to units, cities can work on two other tasks: “Mining” adds gold to your empire “Science” increases a city’s scientific output (science is explained in detail later) –Some units will assist a city’s production if they end a turn in that city

18. Military Transport units: –Some units can transport other units –The types of units they can transport are some combination of ground, water, air, and high air, depending on the unit –Moving a transport units moves all the units it is carrying –Boarded units cannot attack or defend –Boarding a transport unit: Select the unit to be boarded Locate on the right side of the screen where it says “Board” Press the F key indicated there

23. Technology The goal seek feature will tell you what to research next if you want to reach a particular technology Speed of research: –The more cities you have, the faster you will research a new technology –Changing a city to “Science” increases its scientific output by 150%

24. Economy Your first ten cities earn revenue, starting at 5 gold per city per turn Some technologies increase your revenue Cities after the 20 th cost gold for maintenance -6046 th and above -5041 st through 45 th -4036 th through 40 th -3031 st through 35 th -2026 th through 30 th -1021 st through 25 th 011 th through 20 th varies1 st through 10 th Income per City per Turn Cities

32. Winning the Game There are two way to win the game: –Destroying all of your enemy’s cities and units –Reaching the turn limit set before the game began: In this case, the winner is determined using a formula Each player’s power index is doubled and added to his or her gold The power index is equal to the total of 10 times the HP plus the 15 times the attack rating for all units with a nonzero attack rating The player with the higher total wins
