SYNOPSIS
xfortress [ any standard X-options ]
GAME BASICS
you must beat your opponent by having the main part of the territory.
There are three fortification levels, to obtain the control over one
square you must have more influence on it than your adversary. if you
have more influence than your opponent on a square occupied by him,
his castle is destroyed.
You can find more informations on the web
http://www.netsurf.org/fortress/rules.html
REMEMBER : you must have more influence than him at the end of the 21
turns !!! Do NOT try to kill him every time. it can cost you the
victory !!
BOXES
PLAY : forces the computer to play
SINGLE / TWO : show the mode : one or two players. you can change the
mode by clicking in the button box.
RESET : restart the game.
WARN / NOWARN : show the state of the warn indicator. when set, the
warn option allows you to see when a castle is about to be taken : it
closes its door. It is helpful because it is quite difficult for an
average human to have a quick look over all the castles.
STRATEGY
You may notice that sometimes it plays really bad in the end. It must
be an illusion! It is only that he found that it will win by playing
here, it doesn't search the best move at the end, only the one which
makes him win. Good Luck !!

don't know who created it. But i made this X-version !!
