                                  Story Line

 Its about Hannibal, but you already knew that.. didnt you ?

 Hannibal has a little argument with the Romans and cause he gets angry
 very fast, he just decides to wipe out he entire Roman Race. Naturally
 this didnt work, so now you get this change.

 If you want the FULL story-Line, just by the Manual of the Game, or go
 to a Library ( A place where they Keep Books they Say ).



                                Game Controls

 The basic movement is done by the Arrow-keys and the RETURN-key. Switch with
 arrows to another option and then press enter to ativate one.
 When you are INSIDE an option, you can exit it with the UNDO-option, located
 at the bottom of the screen. (see the map i drawed).


 The game is Fully Controlled by 1 Screen, In this screen you see a big map
 with some icons under it. If you want to play this game, then understanding
 of these icons is very important! SO I made some little map for all you
 game-freaks out there...


                            Here comes the Map
