First, talk to Santa, the Mimiga standing right near\u003cbr /\u003ethe entrance. He'll tell you about his key, so head right. The small green\u003cbr /\u003eenemies shouldn't be a problem, but watch out for the large blue ones. It \u003cbr /\u003ereally hurts when they slam into the ground (on top of you.) After a bit of\u003cbr /\u003ewalking, you'll see \u003dSANTA'S KEY\u003d on the ground. Pick it up. Go a bit further\u003cbr /\u003euntil you get to the platforms with the star blocks in-between them. From\u003cbr /\u003ethe top platform, jump to the left onto the block that's hanging down,\u003cbr /\u003ethen up to the next one (this one may take more than one try, but it's not\u003cbr /\u003ethat difficult.) Walk off this block to the left, then jump to the top block\u003cbr /\u003eon the left. Jump up and to the right for a \u003dLIFE CAPSULE\u003d (+5). Now, head \u003cbr /\u003eback to Santa.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAfter you give him the key, go inside his house and talk to him. You'll get\u003cbr /\u003ethe \u003dFIREBALL\u003d, another new weapon. It's a pretty useful weapon when it's \u003cbr /\u003efully leveled up, allowing you to bounce fireballs over hills and hit the\u003cbr /\u003eenemies on the other side. Save if you want, then head out of his house.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eGo right past where the key was and keep heading in that direction until you\u003cbr /\u003eget to a set of spikes with long red points.

After the spikes, keep going right until you reach\u003cbr /\u003eanother house. Enter it. Inside, talk to the purple Mimiga, then examine the\u003cbr /\u003efire.

Inside, use Jellyfish Juice on the fire. You'll\u003cbr /\u003eget the \u003dBUBBLER\u003d, another new weapon! The bubbler is pretty useless until\u003cbr /\u003eit's leveled up, but when it is you can charge a large amount of bubbles\u003cbr /\u003eand hit your enemies with all of them at once. Now, head back to Grasstown.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eGet another Jellyfish Juice then go to Santa's house. Use it on the fire for\u003cbr /\u003ethe \u003dCHARCOAL\u003d.

These guys shoot right back at you if\u003cbr /\u003eyou hit them, so be sure to jump after you attack them. After you kill the\u003cbr /\u003eenemy, jump over the two sets of death spikes. Keep heading right, (there\u003cbr /\u003eare quite a few enemies, including a new frog enemy) until you reach a \u003cbr /\u003etower with a skull on it. Inside, shoot straight up once, then get out of\u003cbr /\u003ethe way QUICKLY. Jump up the the platform on the left and shoot the trap \u003cbr /\u003ethat's still on a star block (don't shoot the block) until it explodes,\u003cbr /\u003ethen jump over to the star block, shoot up, and jump up to a \u003dLIFE CAPSULE\u003d\u003cbr /\u003e(+5).

I have attempted to include the location of every Bling \u003cbr /\u003efragment in the game (the cat's eye jewels Catwoman collects for bonus \u003cbr /\u003epoints). I may have missed one or two; but, I think I've got them all.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe game includes a \"comic\" that describes all Catwoman's moves and also \u003cbr /\u003egives access to the purchased abilities (normally only available between \u003cbr /\u003escenes) and a gallery of concept art. As you play the game, most of this \u003cbr /\u003einformation will be unlocked.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSome of the gallery pages, as well as one of the purchased abilities, can \u003cbr /\u003eonly be unlocked by entering a code you find while playing the game.

I recommend using a gamepad; \u003cbr /\u003epreferably one with dual analog sticks. I have a 13-button, two-stick plus \u003cbr /\u003eD-pad controller (Nyko AirFlo PC) and just about everything is used by the \u003cbr /\u003egame.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe navigation controls cause Catwoman to move forward, left, right or \u003cbr /\u003eback. These movements are in relation to the current camera position, not \u003cbr /\u003eCatwoman herself. Thus, pressing forward causes Catwoman to move away from \u003cbr /\u003ethe camera; back causes her to move toward the camera; left is toward the \u003cbr /\u003eleft side of the screen and right is toward the right side of the screen. \u003cbr /\u003eIf you're not experienced with this type of 3D, third-person perspective, \u003cbr /\u003ethis can be confusing, especially when the camera angle changes suddenly. \u003cbr /\u003eWhen Catwoman is crawling on mesh, forward becomes up and back becomes \u003cbr /\u003edown.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eYou have limited control of the camera in normal perspective and can pan it \u003cbr /\u003eonly a short distance left or right. If you really want to look around, you \u003cbr /\u003ehave to go into Hunt mode; then you can look in almost any direction (you \u003cbr /\u003ecan't look straight down beneath your feet).\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSince you can, and should, remap the controller configuration to suit your \u003cbr /\u003eplaying style, I'll refer to keys/buttons by what they do rather than what \u003cbr /\u003ethey are in the default configuration. My recommendation, with a two-stick \u003cbr /\u003egamepad, is to map one stick to movement and the other stick to combat \u003cbr /\u003emoves. Map one main shoulder button to Crouch/Wall-climb and the other main \u003cbr /\u003eshoulder button to Jump. These are your four primary controls. Place Hunt \u003cbr /\u003emode to a button that is easy to reach and hold. The other controls \u003cbr /\u003e(Domination mode, Pose and Taunt) can be set to anything left since they \u003cbr /\u003eare not used much during normal gameplay.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e ________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr /\u003e|                                                                        |\u003cbr /\u003e|                           [3] GAMEPLAY                                 |\u003cbr /\u003e|________________________________________________________________________|\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe game is broken up into eleven scenes, divided among six locations: \u003cbr /\u003eJewelry Store, Night Club, Hedare Factory, Hedare Mansion, Performance \u003cbr /\u003eCenter and Hedare HQ.

Pushing a combat control initiates an action in that \u003cbr /\u003edirection (forward is away from the camera, back is towards the camera, \u003cbr /\u003eleft is to the left side of the screen, right is to the right side of the \u003cbr /\u003escreen). The combat action when Catwoman is standing, hanging on a wall or \u003cbr /\u003ejumping is to use the whip. The combat action when Catwoman is standing \u003cbr /\u003every close to an enemy is a punch. The combat action when Catwoman is \u003cbr /\u003ecrouching is a kick.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThere are many times when you will need to use the whip even when not in \u003cbr /\u003ecombat. Catwoman activates switches, pulls things off the wall, pulls Bling \u003cbr /\u003efragments to herself and occasionally swings from her whip. All these \u003cbr /\u003eactions require using the combat controls. Many of the things that Catwoman \u003cbr /\u003ecan grab with her whip will glow purple to indicate you can interact with \u003cbr /\u003ethem.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTo activate a switch, push the combat control in the direction of the \u003cbr /\u003eobject to whip it. To throw or pull something, push the combat control in \u003cbr /\u003ethe direction of the object and then push the combat control in the \u003cbr /\u003edirection in which you want to throw or pull the object.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCatwoman can also dodge bullets. When a gunman takes aim at you, you will \u003cbr /\u003esee a purple tracking laser. When the tracking laser turns red, the gunman \u003cbr /\u003ehas a lock on you and will shortly fire. Immediately jump, or, better, \u003cbr /\u003ecrouch and roll (press Crouch, then Jump), to dodge the bullet.

To release, \u003cbr /\u003epress Jump.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eYou can swing through a series of poles by holding Crouch and Jump; \u003cbr /\u003ehowever, doing this causes Catwoman to make a full revolution around each \u003cbr /\u003epole. In order to ensure you get your Alley Cat bonuses (see below), \u003cbr /\u003erelease the Jump button between each pole and press it again at the right \u003cbr /\u003emoment after Catwoman gets to the next pole (just as Catwoman is passing \u003cbr /\u003eunder the bar). This will be even faster and will help you earn Alley Cat \u003cbr /\u003ebonuses.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eYou can also, while holding a pole, climb to the top of the pole and crouch \u003cbr /\u003ethere.

Players who prefer to learn the subtleties of the game on\u003cbr /\u003etheir own should not read beyond the Artificial Intelligence section\u003cbr /\u003eof this document.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eGeneral Playing Hints\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSome subtle aspects of CASTLES II may be lost in a first reading of\u003cbr /\u003ethe manual.  These few pointers may make your first experience with\u003cbr /\u003ethe game much more pleasant:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Use the right-hand mouse button to speed up the clock while waiting\u003cbr /\u003e   for an event to occur.  This works in both the Strategic and\u003cbr /\u003e   Tactical modes.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2. Defending military forces are always approximately one-half the\u003cbr /\u003esize of a player's total military force.  The number of soldiers that\u003cbr /\u003ea territory can muster in its defense, in other words, is based on the\u003cbr /\u003etotal size of the army owned by the controlling player.  To be\u003cbr /\u003eprecise, the number of each type of unit is equal to one-half of the\u003cbr /\u003enumber of such units in the player's army, rounding up.  For example,\u003cbr /\u003ea player with three infantry and five archers would defend with two\u003cbr /\u003einfantry and three arc hers.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe defender still has an edge, however.  The strength of each\u003cbr /\u003eindividual defensive unit is adjusted upward slightly to account for\u003cbr /\u003ethe defender's superior knowledge of the terrain.  The defender also\u003cbr /\u003egets to choose where the battle will be fought.  This offers a\u003cbr /\u003esignificant advantage to the clever player.  Finally, the attacker\u003cbr /\u003ewill have a very difficult time winning unless the odds are greater\u003cbr /\u003ethan 2:1 in its favor (this includes morale, which is not immediately\u003cbr /\u003emeasurable, just as in real life).\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe battle system works both ways: when you are attacked, you defend\u003cbr /\u003ewith half of your forces.  If you lose the battle, you may then launch\u003cbr /\u003ea retaliatory attack on the other player, who will defend with half of\u003cbr /\u003ewhatever forces remain after the first attack.  Also, remember that\u003cbr /\u003eevery unit lost to either player removes one unit of that type from\u003cbr /\u003ethe player's forces.  However, since the defender only fields an army\u003cbr /\u003ehalf the size of its total force, it can never be wiped out in a\u003cbr /\u003esingle battle.  The attacker, however, can be completely eliminated by\u003cbr /\u003ea solid defender.  A counterattack after such a rout is usually\u003cbr /\u003edevastating to the once-proud aggressor.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe intent of this design is to encourage back-and-forth skirmishing.\u003cbr /\u003eIt also places the greatest risk of loss on the player who has the\u003cbr /\u003emost to gain -- the attacker.  This design applies to both the\u003cbr /\u003ecomputer players and the human players; they abide by exactly the same\u003cbr /\u003erules.  This includes the rule which provides at least one Infantry\u003cbr /\u003eand one Archer to a player with no military forces.  We assume that\u003cbr /\u003eany territory -- human or computer -- is capable of offering some\u003cbr /\u003edefense to an attacker, however meager.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e3. Your army's morale is based on the Happiness of your people.\u003cbr /\u003eBattles may be won and lost solely on morale.  It has a very strong\u003cbr /\u003eeffect on the outcome.  Be sure to keep your Happiness at least as\u003cbr /\u003ehigh as that of your neighbors.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eArtificial Intelligence\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCASTLES II employs two sophisticated, multi-level artificial\u003cbr /\u003eintelligence engines for the computer players -- one for Strategic\u003cbr /\u003emode, another for Tactical mode.  Only the Strategic AI is discussed\u003cbr /\u003ein this analysis.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Strategic AI consists of medium-level and high-level portions.\u003cbr /\u003eActions are initiated through the same task mechanism used by the\u003cbr /\u003ehuman players.  In fact, the AI players were tested by letting one of\u003cbr /\u003ethem run the game in place of the human, even displaying results on\u003cbr /\u003ethe same user interface.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCASTLES II was exhaustively playtested for six months.  Every aspect\u003cbr /\u003eof the gameplay was critiqued and fine-tuned.  This was an especially\u003cbr /\u003ecomplex task for the artificial intelligence routines.  Many of the AI\u003cbr /\u003ealgorithms were rewritten several times until they became satisfyingly\u003cbr /\u003erealistic.  Fortunately, the computer players use the same tasks as\u003cbr /\u003ethe humans.  The tuning factors were based on empirical adjustments\u003cbr /\u003ederived from actual human playtesters.  The result is a series of\u003cbr /\u003eopponents who play at a level equivalent to that of an expert human\u003cbr /\u003eplayer.  The Easy and Impossible difficulty levels in the game were\u003cbr /\u003ecreated by adjusting delicately more than a dozen factors in the\u003cbr /\u003eplaying style of each opponent.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe medium-level AI maintains appropriate levels of commodities and\u003cbr /\u003emilitary forces, and ensures the safety and security of the kingdom.\u003cbr /\u003eIt issues Gather and Recruit tasks whenever it decides to increase the\u003cbr /\u003elevel of a commodity or increase its military strength.  The medium-\u003cbr /\u003elevel AI can send Merchants (this is a good way to find out if a\u003cbr /\u003ecomputer player is experiencing a shortage of a given resource, by the\u003cbr /\u003eway).  The medium-level AI also starts a Happiness task when the\u003cbr /\u003epeoples' morale drops, sends Scouts to neighboring territories, and\u003cbr /\u003ePolices the realm if it is being Sabotaged or Spied upon.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe medium-level AI does not think very often.  During playtesting,\u003cbr /\u003ethis AI was found to be extremely agile in its response to changing\u003cbr /\u003econditions in the game -- far more agile, in fact, than any reasonable\u003cbr /\u003ehuman opponent.  The frequency of its thinking was reduced to\u003cbr /\u003ecompensate for this.  One other adjustment was made.  Since the\u003cbr /\u003ecomputer players do not get the benefit of plots or random events,\u003cbr /\u003ewhich often give \"freebies\" to the human player, the AIs were given\u003cbr /\u003ethe ability to obtain one unit of a given resource if no units are\u003cbr /\u003eavailable in their stockpiles and the computer wants to run a task\u003cbr /\u003ethat requires that item.  This also compensates partially for problems\u003cbr /\u003ewhich arise due to their reduced frequency of thinking.  This only\u003cbr /\u003eapplies if they are completely out of that commodity.  The computer\u003cbr /\u003eplayers cannot pile up large stocks of goods in this manner.  Also,\u003cbr /\u003ethey do not possess this special ability at the Easy difficulty level.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe high-level AIs handle the more complex thinking in the game.  They\u003cbr /\u003euse a modified version of a traditional AI approach to prioritization\u003cbr /\u003eof their various options.  This keeps them from becoming locked into\u003cbr /\u003esimple patterns of action.  Attack, Build Castle, Saboteur, Spy, and\u003cbr /\u003eDiplomat are high-level AI tasks.  The computer evaluates each task\u003cbr /\u003ebased on a large number of variables.  It may decide to attack a\u003cbr /\u003eparticular territory because it contains a commodity that is in short\u003cbr /\u003esupply, or it may back off if it finds a castle there.  It weighs all\u003cbr /\u003eof the possibilities and chooses the one which is the best means of\u003cbr /\u003eachieving its goals.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eStarting the Game\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAt the beginning of the game, your focus should be on grabbing\u003cbr /\u003eterritory.  This cannot be done in a haphazard manner, though.  Your\u003cbr /\u003emost important goals should be:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Build a solid, defensible perimeter.\u003cbr /\u003e2. Possess all four types of resources.\u003cbr /\u003e3. Crank your economy up to top speed as soon as possible.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMost of the players begin in one corner or another of the map.  The\u003cbr /\u003ebest strategy for these players is to aim for an initial size of five\u003cbr /\u003eor six territories.  Conquer a few immediately, preferably by building\u003cbr /\u003ea \"wall\" of territories that you own, behind which may be a few that\u003cbr /\u003eyou do not yet own but are inaccessible to the other players (the\u003cbr /\u003eother players cannot \"leapfrog\" and get to them).  Then, conquer these\u003cbr /\u003eother territories.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTerritories will revolt if not subjugated by a show of force.  You\u003cbr /\u003emust therefore begin to build castles once you control four or five\u003cbr /\u003eterritories.  Try to build just one castle, preferably in a territory\u003cbr /\u003ewhich borders every other territory that you own.  If you are very\u003cbr /\u003efortunate, or have planned well, the territory in which you build the\u003cbr /\u003ecastle will have Gold as a resource.  Make sure that your castle is at\u003cbr /\u003eleast 100 points strong, so that it will prevent revolts in all\u003cbr /\u003eneighboring territories .  The castle will not prevent revolts until\u003cbr /\u003eit reaches an appropriate level of completion.  Be sure to start\u003cbr /\u003econstruction early enough to ensure that your people will not revolt\u003cbr /\u003ebefore the castle reaches this critical size.  One good way to speed\u003cbr /\u003eup the construction process is to skip the moat: it slows the\u003cbr /\u003econstruction process significantly.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003ePolitics also plays a critical role in the game, even at this early\u003cbr /\u003estage.  Make sure that your people are happy.  Make sure that the Pope\u003cbr /\u003elikes you.  And try to keep your enemies at bay by buying them off\u003cbr /\u003eoccasionally until you can become strong enough to fight them\u003cbr /\u003eeffectively.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTough Choices\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOnce you have your initial territories under control, you may choose\u003cbr /\u003eany one of several approaches to the game.  The game can be won\u003cbr /\u003ethrough military conquest, administrative power, or political\u003cbr /\u003eexpertise, although the obvious military approach is the easiest.\u003cbr /\u003eMake a decision now as to how you wish to proceed, and stick to it as\u003cbr /\u003elong as possible.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe game will place far more demands on your resources than they can\u003cbr /\u003esupport.  You must decide whether to make your people happy, build\u003cbr /\u003ealliances with your neighbors, build castles, or build a dominant\u003cbr /\u003emilitary force.  Your basic strategy choice will determine which of\u003cbr /\u003ethese will be emphasized.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThere are a few general pointers that apply to any strategy.  Keep\u003cbr /\u003ethese in mind, and you will always be in control -- as much as\u003cbr /\u003epossible, anyhow.  And, lest you think that these pointers are not\u003cbr /\u003eimportant, just remember that the other players ARE using them.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Use every ability point that you have.  Even if you are not running\u003cbr /\u003ea Military task, for example, apply the otherwise unused Military\u003cbr /\u003eability points to another task, such as a Gather.  This will serve the\u003cbr /\u003edual purpose of increasing the speed of the gather task and giving you\u003cbr /\u003ethe extra push toward raising your ability rating.  Your Military\u003cbr /\u003eability will not increase as quickly as if you were running Military\u003cbr /\u003etasks, but any contribution in the right direction is helpful.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2. Stay friendly with the Pope.  Monitor your relations regularly.\u003cbr /\u003eRemember that attacking a friend of the Pope (noted by the word\u003cbr /\u003e\"Blessed\" next to that player's name in the Council display) will\u003cbr /\u003ecause your relations with the Pope to decrease by one point.  It is\u003cbr /\u003every easy, therefore, to become excommunicated through carelessness.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e3. Stay friendly, or at least on neutral terms (Relations of 4 to 6),\u003cbr /\u003ewith your neighbors.  The better your relations with them, the less\u003cbr /\u003elikely they are to attack or sabotage you.  Also, your Merchants are\u003cbr /\u003elikely to get better deals if they are dealing with friendly parties.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e4. Maintain a reasonable army size.  Make it too small, and your\u003cbr /\u003eneighbors may attack when their spies discover that you are a\u003cbr /\u003eweakling.  Make it too large, and the maintenance costs will drag down\u003cbr /\u003eyour economy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5. Send Diplomats to \"buy off\" enemies who are attacking you.  They\u003cbr /\u003eremember friendly actions and are less likely to attack if they have\u003cbr /\u003ereached a diplomatic agreement recently.  Unfortunately, they cannot\u003cbr /\u003erecall armies who are already in the process of attacking, so your\u003cbr /\u003eDiplomat may be too late to be effective.  Also, enemies remember your\u003cbr /\u003ehostile acts even longer than they remember the nice ones.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e6. Think in terms of small campaigns. Before launching attacks, pick a\u003cbr /\u003esmall number of territories to capture, build up your army and then\u003cbr /\u003ego. Don't bite off more than you can chew! After grabbing a couple of\u003cbr /\u003eprovinces, consolidate your gains, rebuild your army and erect castles\u003cbr /\u003efor defense. Never get greedy, as an overextended empire crumbles very\u003cbr /\u003equickly!\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e7. Always harvest your resources. You will use them up very rapidly as\u003cbr /\u003eeverything you do costs money and/or goods. Try to resist building a\u003cbr /\u003ecastle until your Administrative Rating hits 5, allowing you a second\u003cbr /\u003etask in that category. Then keep harvesting as you build.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e8. If you don't have a good mix of commodities in the territories you\u003cbr /\u003e   own, you can still have a good economy. Try to harvest the\u003cbr /\u003e   commodity you have the most of and then trade them for what you\u003cbr /\u003e   need. You'll need good relations with a trading partner to pull\u003cbr /\u003e   this off, but it works well when you don't have access to iron and\u003cbr /\u003e   gold. Always remember that the black market is risky, but it can\u003cbr /\u003e   help bail you out of tight situations.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMilitary Might\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMany players initially try to win the game through brute military\u003cbr /\u003eforce.  Unfortunately, being a leader means more than having the\u003cbr /\u003elargest army.  You must also make friends with those who can be most\u003cbr /\u003ehelpful to you.  You must choose your enemies carefully.  And you must\u003cbr /\u003emanage your realm well enough that it does not vanish in a sudden\u003cbr /\u003espate of revolts.  The following hints should assist the determined\u003cbr /\u003emilitarist:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Obtain Knights as soon as possible.  Build up to a Military Ability\u003cbr /\u003e   Rating of 6 by recruiting and attacking.  Don't police your realm\u003cbr /\u003e   unless it's essential.  Take a risk in order to build up your\u003cbr /\u003e   forces more rapidly.\u003cbr /\u003e2. Build just enough castles to prevent revolts.  You can build them\u003cbr /\u003e   without moats if you're in a big hurry.\u003cbr /\u003e3. Make sure that you have plenty of Iron and Wood initially, so that\u003cbr /\u003eyou can build a big army.  Then make sure that you have plenty of Food\u003cbr /\u003eand Gold to pay for these forces.  If you lose them due to failure to\u003cbr /\u003epay, you may very well lose the game.\u003cbr /\u003e4. Choose your enemies carefully.  Only attack one at a time.  Trying\u003cbr /\u003eto conquer two at once will almost certainly end in disaster.  Send\u003cbr /\u003eplenty of Diplomats to the other player to keep him off your back.\u003cbr /\u003eBesides, you can get better trading terms with that player until\u003cbr /\u003eyou're ready to attack.\u003cbr /\u003e5. Ambush a weak opponent.  Call a Council and see who is at war with\u003cbr /\u003e   whom.  Then attack a neighbor who is busy fighting someone else.\u003cbr /\u003e6. Don't attack Blessed players unless you have no other choice.  The\u003cbr /\u003e   Pope will cause you a great deal of grief.  You should never need\u003cbr /\u003e   to be excommunicated.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAdministrative Acumen and Political Prowess\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCASTLES II may also be won through administrative might and diplomatic\u003cbr /\u003esavy.  A player with six well-chosen territories and many castles can\u003cbr /\u003eprosper and win without spending enormous amounts of effort on\u003cbr /\u003emilitary campaigns.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. The key to an administrative victory is maintaining the happiness\u003cbr /\u003e   of your people and becoming allies with the other players.  Run\u003cbr /\u003e   Happiness tasks and send plenty of Diplomats to your neighbors.\u003cbr /\u003e2. Focus on obtaining Gold territories.  You will need Gold to buy off\u003cbr /\u003e   your neighbors and the Pope.\u003cbr /\u003e3. Build a moderate-sized standing army.  If your neighbors suspect\u003cbr /\u003e that you have a small army, they are more likely to attack you.\u003cbr /\u003e Remember that losses affect the attacker more than the defender\u003cbr /\u003e (since the defender will never lose more than half of his army in any\u003cbr /\u003e given battle), so you can do a great deal of damage to someone who\u003cbr /\u003e dares attack you.\u003cbr /\u003e4. If you get attacked, send Diplomats.  If relations improve, your\u003cbr /\u003e   opponent will temporarily be less willing to attack again.  Keep up\u003cbr /\u003e   a steady stream of Diplomats and you may be able to avert a second\u003cbr /\u003e   attack.\u003cbr /\u003e5. Send lots of Merchants and Diplomats.  Political Ability points are\u003cbr /\u003e   the most difficult to achieve, but you will have plenty of time to\u003cbr /\u003e   get them since you will be spending fewer resources on military\u003cbr /\u003e   actions.\u003cbr /\u003e6. When other players like you a lot (Relations of 8 or 9), trade will\u003cbr /\u003e   be more advantageous.  You can actually make a profit on trade if\u003cbr /\u003e   you work hard at it.  Every unit in your stockpile puts you closer\u003cbr /\u003e   to victory.\u003cbr /\u003e7. Don't forget that your friends will turn on you when you Claim.\u003cbr /\u003eRelations will drop by one point with every other player.  You will\u003cbr /\u003esuddenly be the target of numerous Saboteurs and Attacks.  Be\u003cbr /\u003eprepared.  Just before you claim, build up a substantial army with\u003cbr /\u003eplenty of Knights and Archers.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eLong-Term Strategy\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe goal of CASTLES II, ultimately, is to survive long enough to\u003cbr /\u003ebecome King.  Once you have established your initial fiefdom, it is\u003cbr /\u003etime to put your overall strategy to the test.  Focus on the elements\u003cbr /\u003ethat you deem most important, as noted above.  We won't tell you how\u003cbr /\u003eto win.  There are many ways to win in CASTLES II, and part of the fun\u003cbr /\u003eis in discovering them for yourself.  However, a few general pointers\u003cbr /\u003efor later in the game may be warranted:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Build a buffer of extra points before you Claim.  Once the other\u003cbr /\u003eplayers get wind of your pending coronation, they will become\u003cbr /\u003eincreasingly aggressive toward you.  Claiming reduces relations of all\u003cbr /\u003eother players with you.  This can pull you very rapidly into warfare.\u003cbr /\u003eMake sure that the loss of points due to the drop in relations, plus\u003cbr /\u003ethe drops due to the attacks you will receive, will not be so severe\u003cbr /\u003ethat the Pope decides not reject your claim.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2. Deciding when to Claim is a tricky decision. If you are the first\u003cbr /\u003e   to try, everyone will take their shot at knocking you down. Waiting\u003cbr /\u003e   for someone else to claim first is also a tricky path to follow\u003cbr /\u003e   because you might not have enough time or power to knock him down,\u003cbr /\u003e   and, if more players claim in the meantime, it'll turn into a free-\u003cbr /\u003e   for-all. (Actually that becomes quite a fun endgame to be involved\u003cbr /\u003e   in. Maybe that's not such a bad idea after all!)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTen Sure Ways to Lose at Castles II\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. Attack two or three other players at once.  Yeah, the more, the\u003cbr /\u003emerrier.  It's fun to send troops in every direction, grabbing\u003cbr /\u003eterritory as quickly as possible.  It's fun to lose troops faster than\u003cbr /\u003eyou can Recruit them.  It's fun to beat back counterattacks every two\u003cbr /\u003eweeks. It's fun to restart the game every ten minutes!\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2. Ignore the Pope: attack Blessed players: get Excommunicated. So\u003cbr /\u003ewhat if they are the Pope's friends? So what if eventually this gets\u003cbr /\u003eyou Excommunicated? You're too tough to expect your people to be\u003cbr /\u003ehappy.  Besides, no iron-fisted ruler worth his garde-robe worries\u003cbr /\u003eabout those Holy Rollers.  And don't worry about the precipitous drop\u003cbr /\u003ein your army's morale because your people are unhappy.  Your army is\u003cbr /\u003ethree times bigger than any other in Bretagne -- at least, it was the\u003cbr /\u003elast time you checked.  Besides, you don't need to send no stinkin'\u003cbr /\u003eMerchants.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e3. Never send Diplomats.  Diplomats are pansies.  You kill them when\u003cbr /\u003e they come to you.  Why send yours when Relations are always so bad\u003cbr /\u003e anyway?  You don't need no stinkin' friends (see Merchants above).\u003cbr /\u003e Scorched earth --that's your style.  Take no prisoners.  Just build\u003cbr /\u003e an army and kill everyone at once.  No problem.  They'll never have\u003cbr /\u003e time to mount a counterattack.  What if everybody hates you? Huh?.\u003cbr /\u003e What if? Are you talkin' to me?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e4.  Trade inefficiently: Rely on the Black Market for scarce goods.\u003cbr /\u003e Trade with people who hate you.  Everyone is out to get you.  You\u003cbr /\u003e have no friends, so why would you expect them to trade advantageously\u003cbr /\u003e with you?  What's so bad about an occasional 2 :1 or 3:1 swap for\u003cbr /\u003e something you really need?  Losing one or two units per trade doesn't\u003cbr /\u003e really add up to much over thirty or forty trades, anyway.  Besides,\u003cbr /\u003e how could you possibly have planned ahead for your needs?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5. Let your army starve or go without paychecks. Why, when you were in\u003cbr /\u003e the military you went six, seven years without eating. Yeah, and when\u003cbr /\u003e you ate all you had to eat were rocks. Yeah, and when you got paid\u003cbr /\u003e you got paid in sticks. Yeah, and they were wet too! After all, you\u003cbr /\u003e only lose one military unit on the first delay.  Why should you care\u003cbr /\u003e if it's your best unit?  You have more Knights than you can use,\u003cbr /\u003e don't you?  And don't worry about the fact that you lose double the\u003cbr /\u003e units after every further delay.  You have more important concerns\u003cbr /\u003e than maintaining an army.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e6. Ignore a commodity because it's not important.  Who needs Food,\u003cbr /\u003eexcept to feed the army, recruit Knights, and make people happy?  Who\u003cbr /\u003eneeds Timber, except to build castles, recruit Archers, and make\u003cbr /\u003epeople happy?  Who needs Iron, except to build castles and recruit\u003cbr /\u003eInfantry?  Nobody needs Gold, right?  Right? ... Well, gold maybe ...\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e7. Don't build castles.  The name of the game is CASTLES II.  But that\u003cbr /\u003ehas nothing to do with it.  You're too busy conquering neighboring\u003cbr /\u003eterritories to worry about those pesky revolts. And who needs double\u003cbr /\u003ecommodities anyway? (see above) And you can always reconquer the\u003cbr /\u003eterritories you lose.  Your neighbors would never even think about\u003cbr /\u003etrying to capture a neutral territory that was once yours.  And how\u003cbr /\u003emuch protection can you really get from a pile of stone?  Ten archers\u003cbr /\u003eposted on the walls can't possibly be very useful.  Why would you ever\u003cbr /\u003eimagine that they might be safer up there, or might be able to shoot\u003cbr /\u003earrows further?  And what possible advantage could there be to\u003cbr /\u003eprotecting all of your Infantry and Knights from enemy Archers?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e8. Never, ever Claim the throne.  Why try to win, when you can have\u003cbr /\u003e   lots of fun getting beaten to a bloody pulp year after year?\u003cbr /\u003e   Masochism builds character. No, even better. Claim early. Just as\u003cbr /\u003e   soon as your score creeps up to 7001. Yeah, that'll show everyone\u003cbr /\u003e   just what you think of them. Those sniveling, wimps.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e9.

Keep your eye on him, he can teleport when the going\u003cbr /\u003egets rough for him, and leave you to fight all of his minions.  He has the \u003cbr /\u003emost powerful magic in the game, and can summon monsters to fight with him, \u003cbr /\u003eeven after you destroyed his minions.  After you defeat Surtur, you win!  \u003cbr /\u003eNo wait, you get the Helmet of Storms.  Now all you have to do is cast \u003cbr /\u003e\"Rune of Return\" and give the helmet to King Lifthranthsir, right.  WRONG!  \u003cbr /\u003eYou have to trek up ALL 25 LEVELS of the dungeon, because \"The Helmet of \u003cbr /\u003eStorms absorbs the Aura Energy.\"  Good luck on your way back up.

INTRODUCTION\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e0.1 FOREWARD\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCarnivores 2 is a first-person shooter released in 1999. It wasn't a very\u003cbr /\u003ehigh-profile release, but it's a solid, enjoyable title.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003ePerhaps the best way to describe Carnivores 2 is this:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e* Carnivores 2 is NOT:\u003cbr /\u003e  * A fragfest like Doom or Quake. Those games involve slaughtering many dozen\u003cbr /\u003e    enemies using tons of ammunition. In contrast, Carnivores 2 is a contest\u003cbr /\u003e    between you and a few dinosaurs in each \"level.\" (There are always about\u003cbr /\u003e    twenty dinosaurs in every \"level,\" but you will never have enough\u003cbr /\u003e    ammunition to take them all down.) You have to be very selective in your\u003cbr /\u003e    hunting, and you have to conserve your ammunition very carefully.\u003cbr /\u003e  * A zero-sum struggle like Counter-Strike or Unreal Tournament. In these\u003cbr /\u003e    games, your mission is to win each level either by killing all of your\u003cbr /\u003e    similarly-armed opponents, or by surviving long enough to complete some\u003cbr /\u003e    other task. By contrast, in Carnivores 2, there isn't any \"mission.\" There\u003cbr /\u003e    is no way to \"win\" anything. You *can* kill some dinosaurs, or you can\u003cbr /\u003e    tranquilize them, or you can just observe them. You can leave the level at\u003cbr /\u003e    any time without penalty. So your \"mission,\" really, is to do whatever you\u003cbr /\u003e    want. Many people may find this lack of objective boring; I find it\u003cbr /\u003e    liberating.\u003cbr /\u003e  * An exploration game like Myst and Tomb Raider. Many (almost all!) games\u003cbr /\u003e    with large, organic environments encourage the player to poke into unusual\u003cbr /\u003e    niches, often by challenging means (e.g., finding a way up a steep cliff),\u003cbr /\u003e    and reward the player with interesting discoveries. By contrast, Carnivores\u003cbr /\u003e    2 presents no such inducement. It *does* have a few interesting\u003cbr /\u003e    discoveries, but they aren't difficult to spot - most are visible on the\u003cbr /\u003e    radar, and all are accessed simply by walking to them. While the maps in\u003cbr /\u003e    this game have a great number of geographic challenges - steep mountains,\u003cbr /\u003e    ostensibly inaccessible areas - if you manage to reach them, you'll find\u003cbr /\u003e    nothing there except a scenic view. This is most disappointing, and it\u003cbr /\u003e    might take several excursions (lacking payoff) before you will accept its\u003cbr /\u003e    truth. This is particularly so because the map designers created several\u003cbr /\u003e    areas that seem perfectly designed as a typical videogame challenge... yet\u003cbr /\u003e    there's no gold, or even an empty pot, at the end of the trail.\u003cbr /\u003e  * An adventure game like Diablo or World of Warcraft. There is no story line\u003cbr /\u003e    or drama. Your character won't develop or progress in any meaningful way,\u003cbr /\u003e    aside from earning credits that open up some new options. Of course, this\u003cbr /\u003e    means that you won't have to waste much time \"leveling up\" by achieving\u003cbr /\u003e    repetitive tasks; and you can't make a mistake that requires you to reload\u003cbr /\u003e    an earlier saved game. It's really just about having fun.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e* Carnivores 2 IS...\u003cbr /\u003e  * A hunting experience game. Its central theme involves selecting a dinosaur\u003cbr /\u003e    within the environment, carefully stalking it across an interesting\u003cbr /\u003e    landscape, creeping up on it, and plugging it with some well-placed shots.\u003cbr /\u003e    Its core danger is in having a large, angry, prehistoric predator stalking\u003cbr /\u003e    and charging at you. If you're more interested in an unusual hunting\u003cbr /\u003e    experience than a conventional fragfest, then Carnivores 2 will deliver.\u003cbr /\u003e  * A game with a nice, natural-environment graphics engine. Even for a\u003cbr /\u003e    seven-year-old game, Carnivores 2 presents a very appealing nature\u003cbr /\u003e    environment: rolling hills; copious ground cover; swamps and bogs; rivers\u003cbr /\u003e    and beaches; moutains of granite and of ice; and an impressive array of\u003cbr /\u003e    trees, bushes, cacti, and petrified forests. Carnivores 2 serves up a very\u003cbr /\u003e    nice backdrop for a dinosaur hunting game.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e0.2 GAME VERSIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCarnivores 2 was initially released as version 1.0, but this version no longer\u003cbr /\u003eappears to be available. If you happen to obtain v1.0 of Carnivores 2, you'll\u003cbr /\u003ewant to patch it up to version 1.1, which (according to the documentation)\u003cbr /\u003efixes some graphics and stability bugs. The patch is available from the Action\u003cbr /\u003eForms website; a few Google searches will turn up a link to it.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eVersion 1.1 of Carnivores 2 was released circa DirectX 7, and is *mostly*\u003cbr /\u003estable under Windows... if you use the software renderer. Unfortunately, this\u003cbr /\u003eversion Carnivores 2 doesn't do well with Direct3D or hardware acceleration. My\u003cbr /\u003esystem (an HP Pavilion zd7000 notebook with an nVidia GeForce FX Go 5600 GPU)\u003cbr /\u003ecan't even start up the Direct3D renderer in Carnivores v1.1 - the game just\u003cbr /\u003ecrashes every time. By serendipitous circumstances, the designers wrote\u003cbr /\u003eCarnivores 2 so that the main game/graphics engine is spawned as a separate\u003cbr /\u003ethread from the main menu. This means that if the graphics game ever crashes,\u003cbr /\u003eyou'll just be taken back to the main menu. (You may have to Alt-Tab back\u003cbr /\u003ethere, and you may have to kill the unresponsive Direct3D process through your\u003cbr /\u003eWindows Task Manager - but if you can do that, the game will pick up again at\u003cbr /\u003ethe main menu.) And while the software renderer is stable, it has some graphics\u003cbr /\u003ebugs that detract from the gameplay. For instance, when you toggle into \"run\"\u003cbr /\u003emode, the surfaces of all bodies of water appear as flat, light blue instead of\u003cbr /\u003ethe ripply blue of the sea. It's unfortunate, but tolerable.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eApparently, the developers recognized this problem and struggled to address it.\u003cbr /\u003eThe Action Forms website includes a link to a beta version of a Direct3D patch\u003cbr /\u003elabeled \"beta 1.5,\" and the readme file provides the personal email address\u003cbr /\u003efrom a gentleman in the Ukraine in case \"you still have technical problems.\"\u003cbr /\u003eSo it appears that one or a few of the coders hacked together an unofficial\u003cbr /\u003epatch. In fact, it works pretty well! The patched-up Direct3D game engine still\u003cbr /\u003eoccasionally crashes when starting a level (maybe 30% of the time), but if it\u003cbr /\u003edoesn't crash, it works quite well. The framerate and rendering sharpness are\u003cbr /\u003enotably improved, so this is a viable and suggested option. (For some reason,\u003cbr /\u003ethe Direct3D engine doesn't display shadows from clouds - which is a shame,\u003cbr /\u003ebecause seeing a valley of dinosaurs with large cloud shadows moving across it\u003cbr /\u003eis a very pleasing visual.)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---------------------------------------\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1. GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.1 GAMEPLAY\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.1.1 GAMEPLAY CYCLE\u003cbr /\u003eThe gameplay of Carnivores 2 is quite simple - much more simple than most\u003cbr /\u003egames:\u003cbr /\u003e  1. You choose a location, some weapons, and some dinosaurs to hunt.\u003cbr /\u003e  2. You visit the location and hunt as little or as much as you wish.\u003cbr /\u003e  3. When you're killed or when you're ready to leave, you leave the location\u003cbr /\u003e     and return to step 1.\u003cbr /\u003eThat's really it. There is no plot line; the levels have no missions; there is\u003cbr /\u003eno \"game over\" screen. With exactly one exception (an active lava flow), the\u003cbr /\u003eenvironments are completely harmless - even falling from the top of a mountain\u003cbr /\u003ehas no impact on your avatar. (Of course, you can drown if you stay underwater\u003cbr /\u003etoo long, but that's easy to avoid.) Hostile dinosaurs can kill you, but then\u003cbr /\u003eyou merely return to step 1; it's as if the hunt (and your death) never\u003cbr /\u003ehappened - there is no cost of any kind. It's really just a friendly,\u003cbr /\u003eexperience-driven game.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.1.2 THE OPTIONS SCREEN\u003cbr /\u003eThe options screen allows you to define the parameters of the hunt:\u003cbr /\u003e* Location: Five locations are available. These options don't substantially\u003cbr /\u003e  change the nature of the hunt - they just change the scenery.\u003cbr /\u003e* Weapons: Six weapons are available. Each comes with a full clip of ammunition\u003cbr /\u003e  (between six and eight bullets), and you can get a second clip for each\u003cbr /\u003e  weapon by selecting the \"Double Ammo\" option.\u003cbr /\u003e* Trophy Dinosaurs: Nine kinds of trophy dinosaurs can be selected for the\u003cbr /\u003e  hunt. You may select as many kinds as you wish (and can afford.)\u003cbr /\u003e* Equipment: Five different kinds of non-weaponry equipment are available.\u003cbr /\u003e  These are important and often indispensible.\u003cbr /\u003e* Options: Some details about the hunt can be altered.\u003cbr /\u003eMore information about these parameters is provided in each section below.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.1.3 THE HUNT\u003cbr /\u003eThe hunt begins by dropping you into the chosen location at a random position.\u003cbr /\u003eYou may begin hunting immediately. The hunt ends when you leave the location or\u003cbr /\u003eare killed (or when the 3D rendering engine crashes!)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eDuring the hunt, you will not be able to get new items, ammunition, or weapons\u003cbr /\u003e- you're limited to your starting inventory. In addition to the tools that you\u003cbr /\u003eselect in the Options screen, you have a compass (Which is a little hard to\u003cbr /\u003eread) and a pair of binoculars that will not only zoom in on your surroundings,\u003cbr /\u003ebut will label any creatures with names, weights, and distances from you. This\u003cbr /\u003eis a handy feature, especially when you're new to the game and can't\u003cbr /\u003edistinguish dinosaurs visually. Also, you will have the ability (through some\u003cbr /\u003eunexplained mechanism) to make dinosaur mating calls that will attract a\u003cbr /\u003eparticular species of dinosaur. Finally, your hunt is supported by a spaceship\u003cbr /\u003ethat will carry off your kills for mounting in your trophy room.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.1.4 THE SPOILS\u003cbr /\u003eThe rewards of a successful hunt are trophies and credits:\u003cbr /\u003e* Trophies: Your saved character owns a trophy room with spots for\u003cbr /\u003e  taxidermically preserved dinosaurs. Whenever you kill a dinosaur on land, you\u003cbr /\u003e  will see a spaceship retrieve the carcass and carry it away. (Note: If you've\u003cbr /\u003e  chosen the \"Tranquilizer\" option for a hunt, then your kills don't get\u003cbr /\u003e  carried away by the spaceship, and don't appear in your trophy room. Also,\u003cbr /\u003e  dinosaurs killed in the water can't be retrieved - the spaceship won't even\u003cbr /\u003e  try.) If you survive the hunt, then any time thereafter, you can visit the\u003cbr /\u003e  trophy room to see the dinosaur. If you get close to it, you'll be shown a\u003cbr /\u003e  record of how you killed it: its weight, the time of day and its distance\u003cbr /\u003e  from you when you killed it, the weapon that you used, etc. Approaching the\u003cbr /\u003e  trophy will also give you the option of discarding it, in case you run out of\u003cbr /\u003e  trophy positions (or tire of that trophy, or want to rearrange, etc.)\u003cbr /\u003e* Credits: Carnivores 2 provides a modest incentive for succcessful hunting in\u003cbr /\u003e  the form of a \"credits\" system. You start the game with 100 credits, and you\u003cbr /\u003e  earn more credits by killing (or tranquilizing) dinosaurs. The number of\u003cbr /\u003e  credits that you earn increases with the dangerousness of your target and the\u003cbr /\u003e  distance of the target at the time of death. You can use these credits to\u003cbr /\u003e  select a new location, new weapons, and new or additional dinosaurs on your\u003cbr /\u003e  next hunt. (Credits aren't ever really \"spent\"; you get 100% of them back at\u003cbr /\u003e  the end of the hunt, even if it ends because you died. In other words, you\u003cbr /\u003e  can never lose credits. It's just a way of limiting your options at the\u003cbr /\u003e  beginning, and gradually expanding your options for the hunt.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e1.2 CONTROLS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe controls are simple. They can be mapped to any button, and you should spend\u003cbr /\u003esome time at the beginning of the game learning and customizing these controls.\u003cbr /\u003eMost actions are typical of the first-person-shooter genre:\u003cbr /\u003e  Walk forward\u003cbr /\u003e  Walk backward\u003cbr /\u003e  Turn left\u003cbr /\u003e  Turn right\u003cbr /\u003e  Strafe (sidestep) left\u003cbr /\u003e  Strafe (sidestep) right\u003cbr /\u003e  Toggle between walking and running (NOTE: you can't run while wielding a\u003cbr /\u003e   weapon, and vice versa)\u003cbr /\u003e  Jump (this becomes Swim Up if you're underwater, and Tread Water if you're\u003cbr /\u003e   on the surface of water)\u003cbr /\u003e  Crouch (this becomes Swim Down if you're underwater)\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Pistol\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Shotgun\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Double-Barrel Shotgun\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Crossbow\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Rifle\u003cbr /\u003e  Select Sniper Rifle (will force your perspective into zoom mode)\u003cbr /\u003e(note: selecting a weapon while you're already wielding it will put it away and\u003cbr /\u003edisarm you. You can push the button a third time to wield it again.)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHere are the less typical controls:\u003cbr /\u003e  Radar: You can't use this option while you're wielding a weapon.\u003cbr /\u003e  Binoculars: This gives you a zoom view of your surroundings. It's very\u003cbr /\u003e   effective for pinning down the location of a dinosaur that's within radar\u003cbr /\u003e   range but not directly visible. Also, any dinosaur visualized through the\u003cbr /\u003e   binoculars will have its name, weight, and distance displayed - very useful\u003cbr /\u003e   for determining whether that thing moving in the distance is or isn't a\u003cbr /\u003e   threat.\u003cbr /\u003e  Call for evacuation: This takes five seconds to execute, and, yes, you can\u003cbr /\u003e   be killed in this time.\u003cbr /\u003e  Dino calls: Your avatar has the power to issue a dinosaur mating call for\u003cbr /\u003e   each dinosaur that's been designated as a target. One button will page\u003cbr /\u003e   through the available dinosaur calls. The other issues the call, which will\u003cbr /\u003e   bring all matching dinosaurs in or near radar range running toward you. This\u003cbr /\u003e   is a very useful tactic.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---------------------------------------\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2. WEAPONS, ACCESSORIES, AND OPTIONS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2.1 WEAPONS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe weapons in Carnivores 2 are mostly typical of first-person shooters.\u003cbr /\u003eUnfortunately, they feel a little underpowered: targets don't react much to\u003cbr /\u003eshots that don't kill them, and in fact it's sometimes difficult to tell\u003cbr /\u003ewhether or not your shot *did* hit the target.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWeapons cost money to carry on a mission. The good news is that ammunition is\u003cbr /\u003efree, and that you can carry as much as possible. However, the amount of\u003cbr /\u003eammunition that you have for each mission is extremely limited: you will have\u003cbr /\u003eone or two clips of ammo for each weapon per mission, with each clip holding\u003cbr /\u003ebetween six and eight bullets - and that's it for the trip. This is the most\u003cbr /\u003esignificant difference between Carnivores 2 and a conventional Doom clone. (If\u003cbr /\u003eyou prefer dinos that drop ammunition boxes when killed, you can always play\u003cbr /\u003eTurok.) So you can't just blaze away at your target - you have to make every\u003cbr /\u003eshot count.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e2.1.1 PISTOL\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eCost: 20 points\u003cbr /\u003e \"This weapon has fast shooting range, but its accuracy declines depending on\u003cbr /\u003e  the range of shot.

However, the pistol does have a few uses:\u003cbr /\u003e  * It's useful for making noise to scare off dinosaurs. Most dinosaurs except\u003cbr /\u003e    T-Rex will instintively flee when they hear an unexpected noise, so if a\u003cbr /\u003e    dino is nearby and you don't want to be pursued, fire off a pistol round.\u003cbr /\u003e  * It's also useful for making noise to attract dinosaurs. If a predator is\u003cbr /\u003e    too far to see you but has your scent, it will begin stalking slowly toward\u003cbr /\u003e    you. You can get its full attention (without wasting more precious ammo) by\u003cbr /\u003e    popping off a pistol shot at it. Your chances of hitting it at that\u003cbr /\u003e    distance are small, and your chances of doing significant damage are zero;\u003cbr /\u003e    but it will bring the beast toward you in a hurry.\u003cbr /\u003e  * It can take down smaller targets, including small trophy dinosaurs, with a\u003cbr /\u003e    few close-distance shots.\u003cbr /\u003e  * Hey, it's better than nothing.

If you fall into the fissure, you won't\u003cbr /\u003e  die, but you won't be able to climb out, so you should just quit and restart\u003cbr /\u003e  the level.\u003cbr /\u003e* Stone Arch (western island): This rock formation is sandwiched between the\u003cbr /\u003e  long, skinny island at the west edge of the map and the mainland. It's kind\u003cbr /\u003e  of picturesque and prehistoric-feeling.\u003cbr /\u003e* Petrified Forest (east area): This area contains many dead tree trunks and\u003cbr /\u003e  marshy ground - it's an atmospheric area, and it's fun to hunt here.\u003cbr /\u003e* Swamp (southwest area): This swamp is nice at night, with the sounds of frogs\u003cbr /\u003e  and shadows cast by reeds poking through the low-lying fog.\u003cbr /\u003e* Pond with Lily Pads (south area): This pond area is nice and atmospheric.\u003cbr /\u003e* Mountains (center area): These mountains aren't very interesting - they're\u003cbr /\u003e  not very tall, and scaling them isn't particularly rewarding. You'll\u003cbr /\u003e  undoubtedly have to encounter them and skirt around the base, since they\u003cbr /\u003e  occupy the dead center of the island.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e4.2 FORT CISKIN\u003cbr /\u003eCost: 50 points\u003cbr /\u003e  \"A good sized area consisting of dense pine forests encircling a murky swamp.\u003cbr /\u003e   In the southwest corner lies an abandoned settlement guarded by a towering\u003cbr /\u003e   'Dinosaur Wall', that now lies in ruins from the fury of a T-Rex.\"\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMost of this area is a flat plain with thick vegetation and some marshes.

Many of them look like they might contain a secret\u003cbr /\u003e  hideaway at the top or in their midst... unfortunately, I've spent many hours\u003cbr /\u003e  hopping around these mountains, and I've never found anything out of the\u003cbr /\u003e  ordinary up there. In fact, many such regions *look* like they should be\u003cbr /\u003e  scalable, but actually aren't. In fact, while scaling these mountains, you\u003cbr /\u003e  will often encounter an invisible wall that prevents forward progress - even\u003cbr /\u003e  if it looks feasible.

Aside from a few difficult spots, this island\u003cbr /\u003emakes for pretty good hunting - there's water to slow down charging aggressors,\u003cbr /\u003eclimbable mountains for safe sniping, and topography that permits long-distance\u003cbr /\u003evisibility. The jungle-like humidity is conveyed well - the vegetation is\u003cbr /\u003eprimarily ferns and palm trees, and the marsh areas feel as through they're\u003cbr /\u003efull of moss and decay.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSites of interest:\u003cbr /\u003e* Large Stone Arch (north border): The pond in the north has an outlet to the\u003cbr /\u003e  ocean that passes underneath a huge stone arch. It's very nice, but a little\u003cbr /\u003e  eerie. If you pass through it, you'll find yourself in a large pool of water\u003cbr /\u003e  partly encircled by mountains that stretches to the horizon... and it's\u003cbr /\u003e  likely to be *completely* devoid of animal life, adding to the eerie effect.\u003cbr /\u003e* Dragon Wall (southeast border): The southeast part of the map is bordered by\u003cbr /\u003e  a long, tall fence, comprised of wooden posts with sharpened tops. The posts\u003cbr /\u003e  don't have a single gap and can't be scaled or jumped over, so you won't be\u003cbr /\u003e  able to move through it. If you climb the mountains to the north, however,\u003cbr /\u003e  you can see some of what's on the other side... which, sadly, is just more of\u003cbr /\u003e  the same forest.\u003cbr /\u003e* Bog (east area): The eastern part of the map is a large bog, filled with\u003cbr /\u003e  standing, brown water (sometimes deep) and many dead tree trunks. This area\u003cbr /\u003e  is desolate and creepy... but it's made much worse by the fact that one of\u003cbr /\u003e  the ambient sound effects in this region sounds *very* much like a headcrab\u003cbr /\u003e  from the Half-Life games. If you've played either of those games, then you\u003cbr /\u003e  have a well-developed sense of startlement from this sound, especially when\u003cbr /\u003e  you can't see any headcrabs nearby (and, worse, when you're wading through\u003cbr /\u003e  opaque brown water!) It's most likely a complete coincidence, but its effect\u003cbr /\u003e  may put you on edge (in an enjoyable way.)\u003cbr /\u003e* Cave and Hatchery (east border area): The mountain range in the east features\u003cbr /\u003e  a large cave system at its north end. It's desolate and filled with the\u003cbr /\u003e  echoes of condensation dripping from stalactites. At the back of the cave,\u003cbr /\u003e  you'll find a room filled with eggs! Presumably they're dinosaur eggs, but\u003cbr /\u003e  they look exactly like the egg hatchery from the Aliens movie. This is made\u003cbr /\u003e  even creepier by the fact that a few of the eggs are hatched, and the use of\u003cbr /\u003e  an egg-creaking-open ambient sound. Of course, nothing actually emerges from\u003cbr /\u003e  the eggs, and you can't damage them with weapons or otherwise interact with\u003cbr /\u003e  them. But it's a nice touch.\u003cbr /\u003e* Beach (southwest area): The long, sandy beach area bordering the ocean makes\u003cbr /\u003e  for difficult hunting, since it has many dunes and islands that interfere\u003cbr /\u003e  with visibility. Worse, the beach is separated from the main part of the\u003cbr /\u003e  island by a long, steep cliff - it's virtually unclimbable at any part along\u003cbr /\u003e  its length. You'll have to circumvent it if you wish to return to the main\u003cbr /\u003e  part of the island.\u003cbr /\u003e* Ocean (southwest corner): The southwest region of this area, almost a sixth\u003cbr /\u003e  of the entire map, is the ocean. There's nothing in it - just water and some\u003cbr /\u003e  very typical underwater plants.

Most\u003cbr /\u003e  of the volcano is below sea level, so you have a very short climb before\u003cbr /\u003e  you're standing on the rim and looking into the crackling lava flow within.\u003cbr /\u003e  This is also the only part of any map that can actually kill you. (It's not\u003cbr /\u003e  clear whether or not dinosaurs are also killed by the lava; I could never\u003cbr /\u003e  lure one into it.) Unfortunately, the lava doesn't show up as it should on\u003cbr /\u003e  night-vision goggles (it should be just off the scale in visual intensity.)\u003cbr /\u003e* Ocean and Beach (all map borders): As in the other maps, the ocean is devoid\u003cbr /\u003e  of life and features, with the exception of some underwater plants. Unless\u003cbr /\u003e  you're chasing a dinosaur (or fleeing from one), there's no reason to go into\u003cbr /\u003e  the ocean. Pretty disappointing... The island is ringed by a small beach that\u003cbr /\u003e  serves as a buffer to the ocean; this can make for pretty good hunting.\u003cbr /\u003e* Rivers (throughout map): Wide rivers run through the island that effectively\u003cbr /\u003e  trisect it. Especially in the middle of the map, these rivers are bordered by\u003cbr /\u003e  very tall mountains - these are difficult to scale, but excellent for\u003cbr /\u003e  sniping. Some dino mating calls can draw targets toward you, while the sheer\u003cbr /\u003e  mountain face will keep them at a distance.\u003cbr /\u003e* Clay Hills (north area): The large red/brown smudge in the north part of the\u003cbr /\u003e  island map is a tall mountain range. It's different from the stony mountains\u003cbr /\u003e  in other parts of the island - it's more rolling (and hence scalable) than\u003cbr /\u003e  precipitous, and it looks like it's composed of clay or mud.\u003cbr /\u003e* Mountain (center area): In the center of the map (well, a little south of\u003cbr /\u003e  the center, actually) is a tall mountain. It's easily scalable from the\u003cbr /\u003e  south, and the panorama is both visually pleasing and a good sniping spot.\u003cbr /\u003e* Desert (northwest area): The northwest edge of the map contains a fairly\u003cbr /\u003e  large expanse of desert, complete with dunes, cacti, and a couple of low,\u003cbr /\u003e  muddy swamps. This is a fun area for hunting; it's amusing to see dinosaurs\u003cbr /\u003e  running among the sand dunes.\u003cbr /\u003e* Ice-Capped Mountains (north area): The icy mountains in the north part of the\u003cbr /\u003e  map are very steep and unclimbable, but they add some variety to the region.\u003cbr /\u003e* Deep Bog (north area): Just south of the ice-capped mountains is a\u003cbr /\u003e  surprisingly deep bog that adds a touch of mystique to the area.\u003cbr /\u003e* Crater Lake (southwest area): There's a circular, pretty deep lake in the\u003cbr /\u003e  southwest corner of the map. It's not very unusual, but it's a little\u003cbr /\u003e  interesting: its hemispherical shape and rocky edges are suggestive of an\u003cbr /\u003e  impact crater.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---------------------------------------\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.

You can choose all of the dinosaurs,\u003cbr /\u003eall of the weapons, and all of the equipment features (since you won't care\u003cbr /\u003eabout reduced point values.) However, surpassing all such limits requires 2,095\u003cbr /\u003epoints - probably several hours of hunting.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBefore you reach this level, you'll have to be picky about your hunting\u003cbr /\u003eoptions. First, decide what you intend to accomplish on the mission - are you\u003cbr /\u003ehunting to maximize your point total, or hunting for large game trophies, or\u003cbr /\u003ejust visiting for a sightseeing experience? Here are some loadout\u003cbr /\u003erecommendations for each objective:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.1.1 MAP SELECTION\u003cbr /\u003eAll of them have good spots and bad spots. In fact, I'm not even sure why the\u003cbr /\u003edesigners designated \"difficulty\" levels for the maps; they all have strengths\u003cbr /\u003eand weaknesses.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning points: Do all of your hunting in Delphaeus Hills. The points that\u003cbr /\u003e  you would have spent on selecting another map can instead be used to bring\u003cbr /\u003e  along more weapons (and the ammo that they contain), or to select more, or\u003cbr /\u003e  more valuable, targets.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning trophies: For really mean targets like Ceratosaurus and T-Rex, it\u003cbr /\u003e  will be easiest to snipe at them from the top of a mountain. Mount Ravan\u003cbr /\u003e  has many steep but scalable mountains, so it's your best bet. Find a perch up\u003cbr /\u003e  high and near your target of choice, make a few dino calls to attract it, and\u003cbr /\u003e  then snipe at it from your safe little hunting bluff.\u003cbr /\u003e* Sightseeing: All of the maps have something interesting to offer - and\u003cbr /\u003e  they're well-differentiated from each other. Visit all of them.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.1.2 DINOSAUR SELECTION\u003cbr /\u003eNaturally, your choice of dinosaurs is important; choosing Ankylosaurus will\u003cbr /\u003eoffer a completely different experience than choosing T-Rex, even for the same\u003cbr /\u003eisland. IMPORTANT NOTE: The population of an island is not *strictly* defined\u003cbr /\u003eby your dinosaur selections; you will occasionally encounter a trophy dinosaur\u003cbr /\u003ethat you didn't select on this hunt. And these anomalous dinosaurs won't appear\u003cbr /\u003eon your radar - and it can be quite startling to encounter a radar-invisible\u003cbr /\u003eVelociraptor on a map that should contain only Stegosaurus dinosaurs. The good\u003cbr /\u003enews is that these dinosaurs retain \"trophy\" status, and will be displayed in\u003cbr /\u003eyour trophy room if you kill them.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning points: When you're not well-equipped (and inexperienced), you should\u003cbr /\u003e  populate the island with harmless and mostly-harmless dinosaurs. In\u003cbr /\u003e  particular, the Chasmosaurus offers many points without posing much of a\u003cbr /\u003e  threat. When you've gained enough points to support a decent arsenal, start\u003cbr /\u003e  choosing the Velociraptor and Spinosaurus - these are dangerous beasts, but\u003cbr /\u003e  the rewards are good. Avoid the Ceratosaurus and T-Rex; even the large point\u003cbr /\u003e  rewards that these beasts convey don't justify the danger levels that they\u003cbr /\u003e  pose. (In other words, more often than not, they will kill you and deprive\u003cbr /\u003e  you of all points for that hunt!)\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning trophies: Of course, you should select the dinosaurs that you want as\u003cbr /\u003e  trophies.\u003cbr /\u003e* Sightseeing: You can't start a hunt without selecting one dinosaur, so choose\u003cbr /\u003e  one of the harmless ones. Alternatively, you can choose *all* of the harmful\u003cbr /\u003e  ones, which will guarantee that you can see all potential threats on your\u003cbr /\u003e  radar and avoid them.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.1.3 WEAPON SELECTION\u003cbr /\u003eHaving the right weapon is the critical difference between bagging a dinosaur\u003cbr /\u003eand losing the mission. As soon as you can, start selecting the Rifle for every\u003cbr /\u003emission. As long as your aim is reasonable (and you're not surprised by a\u003cbr /\u003epredator), you should be able to bag at least one trophy on every hunt - a full\u003cbr /\u003eclip of rifle rounds can take down even a Ceratosaurus. When you have some more\u003cbr /\u003epoints, start bringing along the Shotgun; and when you can afford a third\u003cbr /\u003echoice, select ither the Double-Barrel Shotgun or the Sniper Rifle. Finally,\u003cbr /\u003eevery time you find yourself with a spare 20 points to allocate, bring along\u003cbr /\u003ethe Pistol - as suggested above, it's better than nothing. More specifically:\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning points: The goal here is to maximize your kills, so you'll need to\u003cbr /\u003e  maximize your ammo. Take as many weapons as you can, and of course be sure to\u003cbr /\u003e  select Double Ammo. For the harmless dinosaurs, take all of your shots at\u003cbr /\u003e  close range in order to maximize damage and hit potential.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning trophies: Big-target dinosaurs need lots of damage, so the Rifle and\u003cbr /\u003e  Sniper Rifle are your best bets, followed by the DB Shotgun. Don't even\u003cbr /\u003e  bother with the Pistol, X-Bow, or Shotgun, unless you have points to spare.\u003cbr /\u003e* Sightseeing: Well, if this is your goal, then weapons don't much matter. In\u003cbr /\u003e  fact, you're better off bringing the loudest weapons - the shotguns - for the\u003cbr /\u003e  sole purpose of scaring off dinosaurs that encroach on your radar circle.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.1.4 EQUIPMENT SELECTION\u003cbr /\u003eThere's never a reason not to select \"Double Ammo,\" since it doesn't have any\u003cbr /\u003epenalty. Also, *always* select the Radar - the cost (in reduced point totals\u003cbr /\u003eper trophy) is entirely worth it.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning points: Don't bother with the Camouflage or Cover Scent; these will\u003cbr /\u003e  only diminish the point yield for each trophy.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning trophies: It doesn't really matter either way. The big-game dinosaurs\u003cbr /\u003e  will immediately bolt toward you when you hit them the first time (and if\u003cbr /\u003e  they appear nearby, it's too late - you're dead.)\u003cbr /\u003e* Sightseeing: Absolutely bring along the Camouflage and Cover Scent - this\u003cbr /\u003e  will reduce the odds of dinosaurs rushing at you when you just want to be\u003cbr /\u003e  left alone.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.1.5 OPTION SELECTION\u003cbr /\u003eThere's not too much tactical difference between hunting at different times of\u003cbr /\u003ethe day. The visibility problems with nighttime hunting are (more than)\u003cbr /\u003ecompensated by night-vision goggles. So you may not be able to see the exact\u003cbr /\u003eskin features of that Velociraptor, but it stands out in bright green from its\u003cbr /\u003esurroundings. Don't ever select \"Observer\" mode - there's no reason ever to do\u003cbr /\u003eso. Otherwise:\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning points: Obviously, you'll want to select \"Tranquilizers\" over\u003cbr /\u003e  \"Bullets\" in order to maximize your point yields.\u003cbr /\u003e* Winning trophies: Obviously, you'll want to deselect \"Tranquilizers,\" since\u003cbr /\u003e  you won't get any trophies this way.\u003cbr /\u003e* Sightseeing: Obviously, it doesn't matter whether you select Tranquilizers\u003cbr /\u003e  or Bullets, since you probably won't be shooting at anything. As for the\u003cbr /\u003e  time of day: Be sure to experience all three - they each have a different\u003cbr /\u003e  experience to offer. (Note: The night vision effect isn't perfect: it doesn't\u003cbr /\u003e  really tint everything according to its heat, it just makes dinosaurs appear\u003cbr /\u003e  bright green. The active lava flow in Mount Ravan just comes across as a pale\u003cbr /\u003e  green!)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e---\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.2 MOVEMENT TACTICS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.2.1 WALKING/RUNNING\u003cbr /\u003eYou can increase your movement by running, but you can't run and wield a weapon\u003cbr /\u003eat the same time - so you should disarm any time you're not near or targeting a\u003cbr /\u003edinosaur. Even so, your avatar in Carnivores 2 is a typical human trying to\u003cbr /\u003enavigate a prehistoric land filled with dinosaurs. This raises several\u003cbr /\u003ecomplications. First, your footspeed (even while running) is quite slow, and\u003cbr /\u003ethe environments are large; it would take several minutes to walk straight\u003cbr /\u003efrom one end of a map to the other. Worse, many obstacles are in your way:\u003cbr /\u003erolling hills, steep mountains, clumps of trees, fissures, holes - all of them\u003cbr /\u003ewill make pedestrian travel difficult. Third, every one of the dinosaurs walks\u003cbr /\u003efaster than you - sometimes much faster. As a result of these factors, your\u003cbr /\u003enormal traveling speed is a liability. (One additional note about walking or\u003cbr /\u003erunning: The sound engine in Carnivores 2 is a little odd - if you walk\u003cbr /\u003ebackwards, the sound of your footsteps DOUBLE in volume. It's just a\u003cbr /\u003eprogramming error, but you should be aware of it, because it will throw off\u003cbr /\u003eyour ability to track prey by ear.)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.2.2 ANGULAR TRAVEL\u003cbr /\u003eThere is one way of increasing your walk/run speed. The game engine in\u003cbr /\u003eCarnivores 2 has a pretty typical flaw: you can walk forward at (x) speed, and\u003cbr /\u003ewhile you're doing so, you can also strafe to either side at (y) speed -\u003cbr /\u003ewithout diminishing the rate of forward motion. This means that you can\u003cbr /\u003eeffectively walk at the speed of (x + y) in your chosen direction. You just\u003cbr /\u003eneed to turn to a 45-degree angle with relation to your destination, and\u003cbr /\u003esimultaneously walk forward while strafing in that direction. If you use this\u003cbr /\u003emethod while running, you can *almost* keep up with a running dinosaur. Very\u003cbr /\u003ehandy! Of course, while you're doing this, your avatar will continue to look\u003cbr /\u003estraight forward, not at your intended target. Your actual direction of\u003cbr /\u003emovement will be at the edge of the screen: if you're oriented 45 degrees to\u003cbr /\u003ethe right of your target and you're strafing left, then \"forward\" is really\u003cbr /\u003ethe left scree edge. You'll be able to see most obstacles this way (trees,\u003cbr /\u003erocks, and land formations), and you can navigate around them by jumping or\u003cbr /\u003eturning slightly to get around it. Keep the map open, and keep an eye on the\u003cbr /\u003ecompass so that you're headed in the right direction.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.2.3 CLIMBING\u003cbr /\u003eThe natural environments of Carnivores 2 present many steep and vertical\u003cbr /\u003esurfaces, and you'll need to scale some of them in order to gain an altitude\u003cbr /\u003eadvantage on a target or just to get past the topography. The game engine will\u003cbr /\u003eallow you to walk up surfaces that are angled less than approximately 35\u003cbr /\u003edegrees, and to stand on surfaces that are angled less than approximately 45\u003cbr /\u003edegrees. Steeper surfaces will, of course, cause you to slide or fall. Hence,\u003cbr /\u003eyou can climb large mountains just as in other games (and real life): by\u003cbr /\u003epicking your way from one slightly-less-vertical spot to the next. Just\u003cbr /\u003eapproach the vertical surface, hold down \"forward\" and \"jump\" continuously,\u003cbr /\u003eand use your mouse or keyboard to change your facing slightly while trying to\u003cbr /\u003elocate more horizontal surfaces. You can scale many large cliffs this way - but\u003cbr /\u003emany others will simply be too steep to traverse. In the latter case, try\u003cbr /\u003ecircling the base of the vertical surface to see if you can spot a slightly\u003cbr /\u003eeasier path. Some areas are simply unscalable.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.2.4 SWIMMING\u003cbr /\u003eYour speed disadvantage with respect to dinosaurs is much greater on land than\u003cbr /\u003ein the water, so you may often find yourself fleeing into a pond to fend off a\u003cbr /\u003epredator (or to chase your prey.) Surprisingly, diving under water is\u003cbr /\u003eineffective at dodging dinosaurs - apparently, depth is not taken into account\u003cbr /\u003ewhen the game decides whether or not a dinosaur can reach you. The angular\u003cbr /\u003etravel trick described above works equally well in water as on land, so be sure\u003cbr /\u003eto use it constantly. And since swimming submerged doesn't improve your speed\u003cbr /\u003eover treading water, hold down the \"jump\" button the entire time - your\u003cbr /\u003echaracter doesn't tire, so you can swim as long as you like this way.\u003cbr /\u003e---\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.3 HUNTING TACTICS\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e5.3.1 SELECTING PREY\u003cbr /\u003eWhen you're on the ground on one of the maps, you'll notice a dozen or more\u003cbr /\u003etrophy dinosaurs on your radar. In light of your small ammunition load, it's\u003cbr /\u003emathematically impossible for you to capture all of them, so you'll have to be\u003cbr /\u003eselective. Here are some tips:\u003cbr /\u003e* All of the dinosaurs except the T-Rex are prone to fleeing when startled, so\u003cbr /\u003e  you can cut down on your \"chase\" time by choosing targets that can't escape -\u003cbr /\u003e  e.g., located an island surrounded by water, in front of an impassable\u003cbr /\u003e  mountain range, or at an edge of the map.\u003cbr /\u003e* Some dinosaurs will flee into the water when startled, and since they swim\u003cbr /\u003e  slowly and predictably, they become very easy targets. Always go after them -\u003cbr /\u003e  especially if you can stay on shore, and maintain a footspeed advantage.\u003cbr /\u003e* If you're hunting aggressive dinosaurs, try selecting a target that's on the\u003cbr /\u003e  other side of a body of water. If the target charges you, it might swim\u003cbr /\u003e  through the water or take the long way around; either way, this tactic\u003cbr /\u003e  increases the amount of time that you can snipe at it - you can probably take\u003cbr /\u003e  it down before it gets anywhere near you.\u003cbr /\u003e* If you're hunting aggressive dinosaurs, do NOT select a target that is very\u003cbr /\u003e  near any other target. Taking down a Velociraptor is difficult, but surviving\u003cbr /\u003e  two Velociraptors that are charging you at the same time is nigh impossible.\u003cbr /\u003e  Choose isolated targets, especially while you're still new to Carnivores 2.\u003cbr /\u003e* If you're nowhere near any prey, consider just ending the mission. This is\u003cbr /\u003e  quick and without penalty, and it will ensure that
