A QUICK GUIDE TO THE CASTLE CONSTRUCTION SET
| All of the pieces of "a
castle under construction" posted on The Fan by Buxeria have been collected in
a CyberBoard ver. 3 gamebox. They are grouped by type and accessible
from a drop-down list.
|
You click on a piece to
select it, then drag it onto the "map" and align it with the hex grid (which
can be turned on and off).
|
Then click and drag another piece and align it with the first. You can build a large castle quickly. |
| Right-click to bring up a
menu with several useful commands. Any piece can be placed on top of
other pieces ("Move to Front") or under other pieces ("Move to Back").
A piece can be rotated to any angle. All pieces can be locked into
place (& unlocked again) to prevent being moved accidentally.
|
 You can display the image at half-scale ...
or at 1/4 scale on a Jump Map. |
 Once the castle is finished, you can store it as a bitmap on your hard drive. I built the castle shown above in about 1 hour (click on the image to display the full castle). At present, the Castle Construction Kit is only a prototype. It needs a complete set of images of the various parts of a fully built castle, together with trees, bushes, rocks & clear ground, etc. Counters can also be added to the gamebox for PBEM play.
