XArchon 0.50.10.1[/span]
-- Homepage:
http://xarchon.seul.org/-- XArchon is a clone of the classic golden oddie ARCHON game which was distributed by Electronic Arts around 1985. It pits the light side against the dark side is a battle for the control of a chess-like playing board.
-- XArchon consists of a strategy mode, in which pieces are moved around the board, and an arcade mode, in which two pieces attempting to occupy the same square battle one another.
Strategy mode Things to pay attention:
1) The yellow "power points": there are five of them, four in the middle of each side and one in the center; they all have healing function
2) Victory condition: Capture all five power points or kill all the enemies.
3) The color of each square: Lighter colors favors the Light side; darker colors the Dark side; see the indicator in the bottom right corner (-Lnumber vs. -Dnumber).
4) Each type in the armies has its own speed (how and how far you can move), attack, and special abilities (e.g. spells, teleport, morph).
Arcade Mode(The Light Djinni is shooting its power bolt at the Dark Goblin)
Things to pay attention:
1) 2 ways to attack: melee and range (bolts also differ in terms of power, speed and sphere)
2) Speed matters!
3) Terrain tactics: The color of the rocks determines whether and how you can walk and shoot through them.
