1.1 WHAT IS COMMAND & CONQUER?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

   Command & Conquer is a real-time strategy-combat game developed by
   Westwood Studios, the creators of DUNE II.  


   The Press Release :

       WESTWOOD STUDIOS INTRODUCES : COMMAND & CONQUER

       Imagine a brutal, devastating conflict of global proportions. 
       Now imagine it all fitting on two CDs.

       Introducing COMMAND & CONQUER, from the creators of DUNE II.
       A frighteningly realistic glimpse into the near future, when the 
       planet is divided between two forces battling for world domination.
 
       Players can fight for a peacekeeping alliance called the
       Global Defense Initiative.   Or their mortal enemy, a terrorist 
       organization called the Brotherhood of Nod.   Either way, they'll 
       have their strategies tested in a real-time world, complete with 
       over 60 minutes of intense full-motion video and 3-D rendered 
       graphics that are as visceral as they are visual.   Which of 
       course, is unfortunate for those with weaker stomachs.

       COMMAND & CONQUER's real-time combat system is designed to be
       deep and meaningful, yet accessible.   Those familiar with
       Westwood's earlier award winning strategy game DUNE II will
       remember the ease of use in a fast-paced race of destruction and
       mayhem.   However, we've made a few modifications you might want
       to look into...

       Build and better your bases, unite or divide your forces, develop
       and utilize guerrilla tactics and a wealth of potent electronic
       hardware, and make sure that "Reduce the Opposition to pulp" is at
       the top of you list of things to do today.

       As one person put it... 

            "The attention to detail is exemplary - it's like having a
            fully-functioning miniature world-gone-mad crawling with
            armies of intelligent beings, all secured in a big glass box,
            and all at your disposal."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
1.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Command & Conquer (2 CD-ROMs) requires at least the following system 
     configuration :

          CPU:     486/33 or higher.   (486/66 highly recommended)
          RAM:     8MB total, 6MB free XMS or EMS, 560KB conventional RAM.
                   HD space: 30MB.
           CD:     2xCD-ROM drive.
        SOUND:     Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, 
                   Sound Blaster AWE32 and 100% Sound Blaster compatibles,

                   Gravis UltraSound, Gravis UltraSound MAX, Ensonic
                   Soundscape, Roland RAP-10, ESS Audiodrive, Microsoft
                   Sound System, Gold Sound Standard, Pro Audio Spectrum.
      DISPLAY:     MCGA graphics (256 color, 320x200 pixel resolution).
        MOUSE:     Microsoft Mouse or 100% compatible.
          DOS:     5.0 or higher.
      WINDOWS:     3.1 or higher.


      For multi-player:

          CPU:      486/66 or higher.
       SERIAL:      2 players over minimum 9,600 bps modem, 14,400 bps
                    modem or higher recommended.  2 players over null 
                    modem connection.
      NETWORK:      2-4 players over IPX compliant network.


      Command & Conquer will stream and mix all music directly from the CD
      with sound effects in the game.  Any Soundblaster compatible card 
      capable of playing digital audio will be supported.   Audio quality 
      for both 8 bit and 16 bit cards is nothing less than superb.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
1.3 Is this DUNE III?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
  
     Command & Conquer is not DUNE III.   The only item borrowed from our 
     earlier real-time strategy game is the cool interface, and even that 
     has been updated.   The game engine has been totally rewritten to 
     support more units and an enhanced artificial intelligence.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
1.4 When will Command & Conquer be released? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Command & Conquer should be available in North America NOW.   German,
     French, and U.K. versions should ship shortly afterward.   Check with

     A local software store for a release date if it's not out yet in 
     your area.

     We appreciate everyone's patience while we finished work on C&C.
     Thanks again for your support.   



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
1.5 Is there a demo or screenshots available?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     You can download .AVI movies, screenshots, and music clips from
either 
     our ftp site at ftp.westwood.com or our web site at www.westwood.com.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
1.6 Can I play Command & Conquer against a friend?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Yes.   C&C will support Network, Null Modem and Modem play.   Network
     mode allows four players to go head-to-head.   A computer opponent
can 
     also be added to increase any game by one more player.   

     Each player must have one of the Command & Conquer CD-ROM's in their 
     system before play can begin.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
1.7 How about my GUS/ProAudio Spectrum/Whizbang 3000 sound card?  Support?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     We will not support any card in direct or "native" mode.   Our new 
     sound drivers enable us to play and mix music and voices directly 
     from the CD-ROM.   Instead of hearing a computer generated version 
     of a guitar or drums, you'll be hearing the real thing right off 
     the CD.   Command & Conquer is one of the first Westwood products 
     to support DDA (Direct Digital Audio)..     

     If your card is capable of playing digital sounds (and most 
     cards are), you should have no problem with sound support.

GAME PLAY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
***********************************************
**************************************************************************
**


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.1 How many units are in the game?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Lots.  I think I counted something close to 50 different units and 
     structures in the game.   Each side has different units, different 
     strengths, etc..   We have played here at Westwood quite often to
     ensure that the game is perfectly balanced.   



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.2 Are there air units which I can control? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Yes.   As stated before, this is not DUNE II.   A10's, Transport 
     helicopters, planes, and other attack craft will be able take orders
     to land, take off, pick up troops, bomb,  etc..   In Command &
     Conquer, you have real-time control of almost all units.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.3 How many missions are in C&C?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     In total, there are around 50 missions.   However, the missions
     differ depending on which route you take in the game.   Finishing the
     game playing both GDI and NOD doesn't mean that playing the game
again
     will be the same.

     Roughly, it will take you about 15 successful missions to complete
     the game using each side.   

     There are also specially designed multiplayer missions which are 
     configurable in a variety of ways.   You can play against any
     combination of computer/player opponents (up to four players)
     simultaneously.   One person cannot play by themselves in multiplayer
     missions.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.4 Am I limited in how many units I can create? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     No.   When programming DUNE II, we had to stick to limited memory 
     requirements.   Now, your only limit is the amount of money you 
     have to buy reinforcements, (and how long you can keep your troops
     alive.)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.5 Team Mode (?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Yes, teaming units will be enabled in Command & Conquer through a
very 
     simple procedure.   Click on a portion of the screen, hold down your 
     mouse button and draw a box around the units you wish to team up,
then 
     let the button go.   It's that easy.   And, you can select a whole 
     screen of your units to create a team if you wish.   There really
     isn't any limit.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.6 Do I need to buy two copies of the game to play on two computers? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     We have designed the game so that you won't need to buy two separate 
     copies of the game in order to play with a friend.  You can give away

     one of your CDs so that you can both play over the modem. In order to

     play the normal game, you'll need both CDs.

     The reason we're doing it this way is so that you can enjoy the 
     multiplayer aspect of C&C more easily.  Although we could have
     designed it so that two copies of the game must be purchased in
     order to use multiplayer, we are hoping that if we treat our fans
     right, then they will in turn treat us right.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.7 How is the computer artificial intelligence compared to other games?  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Since Command & Conquer was written from scratch, we were able to 
     implement a completely new artificial intelligence.  Instead, expect
     a new adversary which will attack, retreat, regroup, attack again,
     and probe your base for weaknesses.  Helicopters will invade, and
     troops will pour through your walls all too often. 

     This game will not be easy.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 
2.8 Team Mode (Alliance) option.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     Because so many of you asked for it, we decided to make it so that
     you can team up with (or against) your friends in multiplayer mode.
     Teams can be of one to three players, and of any type (GDI or NOD).  


     You will not be able to control your team members' units, but you
will
     have access to his refinery, helicopter pads, and other resources.
     Most importantly, your units will not attack one another when they
     come into direct contact.

3.1 Special Keyboard Shortcuts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

 
     C&C has a range of keyboard shortcuts and extra features which are
     keyboard driven. These are intended for the advanced player and are
     not essential to normal gameplay. They are, however, very cool:
 
     Unit Control:
 
        G        : Guard Area
                   Select a group of units and then hit G to put them into
                   Guard Area mode. In this mode, units will patrol and
                   open fire on any enemy units that come within range.

        X        : Scatter Units
                   This causes a selected group of units to scatter
                   (for example, to make themselves into more difficult
                   targets).

        S        : Stop Unit
                   Causes a unit to stop in its tracks.


     Keyboard Shortcuts:
 
        F7-F10   : Map Bookmark System
                   Use CTRL+F7-F10 to place a bookmark, then use
                   F7-F10 to jump to that spot.

        <CTRL>-# : Team Creation
                   Use CTRL and a number key (0-9) to mark a group
                   of selected units as a team.

        0-9      : Team Selection
                   Selects a pre-marked team (see Team Creation) as the 
                   current active group.

        TAB      : Open/Close Sidebar
 
        H        : Automatically selects and centers the view around your
                   construction yard.
     
        N        : Your next unit on the playing field is selected and the

                   view is centered about it.
           
        R        : Allows resigning in single player mode as well as
                   multiplayer.

        <HOME>   : Centers the view around the currently selected object.
     
        <ALT>-#  : If the <ALT> key is held while pressing a team number,
                   the specified team will be selected and the view
                   centered over the team members. This is identical to
                   pressing the team number and then pressing <HOME>.


     Multiplayer Options:
 
        A        : Alliance
                   Select an enemy unit and hit A. This causes your units
                   to treat all the units of the allied side as friendly,
                   as such you will not be able to target them. Note that
                   this is not a reciprocal arrangement and your new ally
                   must explicitly do the same thing to your units. This
                   is a toggle and hitting A for a second time will cause
                   you to declare war on your old ally.

        R        : Resign from Multiplayer Game
                   If all hope is lost you can resign, or surrender, by
                   hitting the R key. This causes all your units to
                   explode in a spectacular manner, thus depriving your
                   enemy of absolute victory! It should be noted that
                   anyone using this option in other than hopeless
                   situations will be considered a wimp by their opponents
                   and will be endlessly taunted in subsequent games.
                   Probably.


      Cursor Modifiers:
 
        CTRL     : Force Attack
                   Holding down the CTRL key forces your cursor into
                   the target cursor. This allows you to target your own
                   units, amongst other things.

        ALT      : Force Move
                   Forces your units to move when they would normally
                   just stand and fight. This is useful with tanks against
                   enemy infantry, for example. Try it and see.

        CTRL+ALT : Guard Area or Unit
                   Select a group of units and then CTRL+ALT click on a
                   building, this forces your units to patrol the area
                   around the building looking for the enemy. They will
                   engage the enemy if found. If you CTRL+ALT click on
                   another one of your units (for example, the harvester)
                   your selected units will guard that unit as it moves
                   around the map.  This also applies to enemy units,
                   which is perhaps not so useful.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 Quick tips for Newbies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    (This section left intentionally blank)   :)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
3.3 Cheat codes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    There are absolutely no cheat codes for Command & Conquer.   This
    means that...

    1)   There are no cheat codes.
    2)   No cheat codes were included.
    3)   We didn't want to include any cheat codes.

    No amount of begging will result in something that doesn't exist.

    Also, a warning to those who would plunder our code in an attempt to
    cheat in multiplayer mode.   Any attempt to change the software
through
    devious means will result in an out-of-sync error every time you try
    to connect to someone else.   We have conducted several tests to
    confirm this.



**************************************************************************
**
PLAYING THE GAME WITH KALI
*************************************************
**************************************************************************
**


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
4.1 What is Kali?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    Kali is a program written by Jay Cotton which allows you to play
    network games using the IPX protocol over an Internet SLIP or PPP
    connection.  We have been playing C&C over KALI for a few months now,
    and it seems to work quite well.

    However, remember that we cannot provide technical support for KALI
    in any way.   If the words "IP Address", "ping", "slip/ppp" and
    "IPX" are unknown to you, this entire concept may be a little over
your
    head.

    Again, neither Westwood Studios nor Virgin Interactive
    Entertainment can offer support for those of you wishing to
    experiment with the KALI software.

                                                                     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
4.2 How do I get the KALI shareware package?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    You can download the newest KALI software and other files you need at:

    ftp://ftp.axxis.com/pub/kali

    While you're there, download PPP.ZIP and PING.ZIP if they're
available.
    These programs are what you will need to dial into your Internet
    service provider and establish a PPP connection.    There are SLIP
    and network card drivers available as well.

    Remember, this program is shareware.   If you find it useful, we
    suggest you support Jay Cotton in his future programming endeavors
    by registering your copy.   



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
4.3 How to set up KALI with C&C
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    First, I'm not going to go through the entire process of explaining
    how to set up KALI to dial and connect to your internet service
    provider.

    1.   Get the KALI software from the ftp site mentioned above.  You
will
    also need PPP.ZIP.

    2.   Configure the PPP driver software to connect to your provider.
    There are excellent examples on how to do this included within the
    PPP.ZIP file.

    3.   After connecting to your ISP, set up and use KALI to connect
    to Kali Central (204.96.20.10).     This is where you'll meet others
    to play Command & Conquer.   After connecting you should see a list
    of other people connected, and the games that they're currently
playing.

    Now here's the tricky part...

    PPP and KALI take up a lot of low memory.   The trick will be to load
    your MOUSE, CD-ROM drivers, PPP, and KALI, and still have enough
memory
    left to run Command & Conquer.   If you're not using Windows 95, this
    should be a piece of cake.   If you ARE running Windows 95, I would
    suggest a boot disk with something similar to the following :

    CONFIG.SYS :

         DOS=HIGH,UMB
         DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
         DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
         DEVICE=A:\MOUSE.SYS
         DEVICE=A:\SBCD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220 /E   (may be different for
you)

    
    AUTOEXEC.BAT :

         MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /V /M:15    (may be different for you)
    
    
    You can copy your drivers to your boot disk, or load them off your
    hard drive, it really doesn't matter.   However, if you are using
    Drivespace, you will have to disable it by hitting F8 when your
    computer boots up, then select "Step by Step confirmation" and skip
    any drivespace or Windows drivers your system tries to load.   If you
    try to load drivespace, you probably won't have enough memory left
    over to load Command & Conquer.

    Command & Conquer can work in as little as 425K of free lower memory.
    You can probably load your PPP driver low, and your KALI driver high,
    and have enough depending on what the size of your drivers is.

    After you have loaded your CD-ROM and mouse drivers, loaded PPP.EXE
and
    KALI, run Command & Conquer and select the Multiplayer (Network)
    game option from the main menu.   You should see others playing C&C,
or
    you can start a game of your own and wait for others to join you.

    If anyone has information they would like to add to this section,

5.1 Modem Initialization Strings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    As detailed in the manual, we seem to get best modem
    performance with modem data-compression and error-correction
    turned off. You can do this by going to the serial game
    settings dialog and entering the appropriate init. string
    for your modem. This should be entered on the host (dialing)
    machine, the guest (receiver) should use ATZ. If you use these
    init. strings the modem speed may have to be set to the exact
    speed of your modem, for example 14,400 bps or 28800 bps. Here
    are example init. strings for some popular modems:

    Modem                                        Init. String

5.2 How to increase modem multi-player performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
  
    With music playing during a modem game, there is a possibility
    of pausing or very slow game play. For optimum performance, 
    music volume under the options menu should be set to zero 
    (far left), this is the default setting. The game speed should
    be satisfactory with sound effects on and music turned down.

    If you have a 486 system with an external modem you might
    experience pausing or very slow game play. This is due to
    the 8250 UART chip which is in most 486 class machines, this
    chip causes the CPU to work harder in null modem and modem
    games. There are several work-arounds: 
         
         1. Turn off both music and sound effects in the setup program 
         prior to playing the game. This will improves performance at
         the expense of losing all game sounds. 
         
         2. Install an internal modem. These modems have their own
         UART chips which are designed for higher performance.
 
         3. Install a high performance serial card in your system.
         If you are using a 14400/28800 bps external modem with 
         your 486 class system you should seriously consider installing
         a high performance serial card. These cards usually have a 
         16550A type UART chip which outperforms the 8250 UART in all 
         serial communications applications by buffering data more
         efficiently.

5.3 Network notes to remember.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-*

    For multiplayer network games we strongly caution you to use a
    homogeneous network environment - that is, to use the same type 
    of IPX compliant network drivers (e.g., IPX, IPXODI etc.) on each
    system. We have found incompatibilities between drivers from
    different manufacturers so you should bear this in mind if you
    are having network game troubles.

    C&C should work with any IPX compliant network but we have found
    problems running with Microsoft MSIPX.COM. We strongly recommend
    that you avoid MSIPX and use either IPX.COM from Novell, or use
    IPXODI drivers compatible with your card. If in doubt you should
    ask your network administrator to upgrade your system.

6.1 What to do when the game doesn't want to run...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    Command & Conquer has been tested on hundreds of computers.   If
    you're having a problem, it probably has something to do with the way
    your system is set up.

    Steps you should take :

         1.   Read the README file located on the CD-ROM.   It contains
              valuable information about certain sound cards, Windows,
              etc..

         2.   Read the troubleshooting section of this document!  If it
              seems to be a common problem that people are having, chances
              are you will find it answered below.

         3.   Check our web site or your favorite online service for
              the newest version of this document.   You may also want to
              check the message areas to see if anyone else has had
              trouble similar to yours, and has already found a solution. 

         4.   Write or call us!   You can reach Virgin Interactive
              Entertainment customer support by dialing 1-714-833-1999.
              Be sure to have your computer up and running, and get
              ready to spill your guts about the type of system you're
              running C&C on.  This includes listings of your AUTOEXEC.BAT
              and CONFIG.SYS files.   You can write to us via email at the
              services mentioned later in this document.   Be sure to
              send all the same information mention above in your mail.

6.2 How to get Command & Conquer working under Windows 95.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     To install under Windows 95, follow these four easy steps:

         1)  Click START/RUN, type D:\SETUP.EXE (where D is your CD-ROM
             drive); type ENTER.
         2)  Follow instructions in setup program as normal.
         3)  When installation is finished, restart Windows 95 to
             initialize the C&C icons.
         4)  Start C&C using START/PROGRAMS/WESTWOOD/C&C.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
6.3 Running C&C with Windows 95 and 8 megabytes of memory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     If you only have 8 megabytes in your machine, you may need to make
     some modifications to allow C&C to run on the desktop.   Below is
     a step-by-step instruction manual for beginners to make the
     necessary changes...

         a)  Go to the START/SETTINGS/TASKBAR menu.
         b)  Click the START MENU PROGRAMS tab, then click the
             ADVANCED button.
         c)  You will see an Explorer window.  Click on the plus sign
             to the left of the  PROGRAMS folder. Notice that you get
             a list of sub-folders.
         d)  Click on the WESTWOOD folder.  On the left you will see
             a list of programs.
         e)  Right click on the C&C icon. Chose PROPERTIES from the
             menu.
         f)  Click on the MEMORY tab.
         g)  Look for the section that says EXPANDED (EMS) MEMORY.
             It should have 'Auto' in the window. Click the arrow next
             to the 'Auto' and scroll down until you see NONE.  Click
this.
         h)  Look for the section that says MSDOS PROTECTED MODE (DPMI)
             MEMORY.  It should have 'Auto' in the window.  Click the
             arrow next to the 'Auto' and scroll down until you
             see 16384. Click this.
         i)  Hit OK, then click the X in the upper right corner of the
             Explorer window, then click OK on the Taskbar Properties
             window.
         j)  Start the game normally.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
6.4 Improving video playback performance under Windows 95.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
        
     The performance of C&C in a Windows 95 DOS box is slightly
     slower than in a real DOS environment. You can improve movie
     playback performance by following these step-by-step instructions.

          a)  Go to the START/SETTINGS/TASKBAR menu.   
          b)  Double-click on the SYSTEM icon.
          c)  Click the PERFORMANCE tab, then click the FILE SYSTEM
              button.
          d)  Click the CD-ROM tab.
          e)  You will see a slider labeled `SUPPLEMENTAL CACHE SIZE.
              Slide the slider all the way to the right.  Remember
              however that increasing your cache size reduces the
              memory available to the rest of the system while in
              Windows.
          f)  Next, look for a window labeled OPTIMIZE ACCESS
              PATTERN FOR: In the window, chose the one that best
              describes your CD drive (single, double, triple, quad
              and higher speed drive.)
          g)  Click the APPLY button. You will get a window asking
              you to restart your machine. Do so.
          h)  Once you have restarted, run the game normally. This should
              also increase the performance of any other CD title you
have.

6.5  How to fix modem problems under Windows 95.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

     If you find that you have trouble connecting during modem play, or
     get sync errors when you connect, there are a few things you can do
     to solve this problem:

     a)  Check to see that the port setting in Windows 95 is correct
         for your modem. Windows defaults to 9600 baud.  You will want
         to change the default baud rate to 57600.   To do this:

         1)  Click on START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL.
         2)  Double click the SYSTEM icon, click the DEVICE
             MANAGER tab.
         3)  Click the plus sign next to the PORTS listing.
             Double-click on the right COMM port for your modem.
         4)  Click the PORT SETTINGS tab. The window at the top (BITS
             PER SECOND) is the baud rate for the  port. Set this
             for 57600 baud.
         5)  Click OK twice to close both windows. You may have to
             restart windows.

     b)  Make sure the error correction and compression on your modem
     is turned OFF. Check the README file that came with Command and
     Conquer or this document for a list of Modem initialization strings
     that will accomplish this (copy the initialization string for your
     modem in the README file to the init string box in the modem setup
     screen.)  If your modem is not listed in the README, you will need
     to check your modem manual or call the manufacturer for your modem
     to see how to do this.

     c)  If you simply cannot get Command and Conquer to connect
     correctly in Windows 95, reboot to DOS mode and re-run the game. Be
     sure that your sound card and CD-ROM drivers are loading in DOS.

6.6 My mouse isn't detected, or doesn't work correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

    If you encounter any problems with the mouse, such as erratic
    movement, etc., the first thing you should do is update your mouse
    driver.   Problems with the mouse, although rare, are almost always
    caused by older mouse drivers.  Contact your computer manufacturer
    or local software retailer for information on obtaining the latest
    mouse drivers for your computer.

    You can email Westwood Studios (or me, actually) at :

    virtualted@westwood.com

    When you send mail to this address, a little icon pops up on my
    computer with a rather annoying "BING!" sound, and I usually write
    back very soon afterward.

    If you write mail to this address with "C&C", "Command", or "Conquer"
    in the subject field, you'll probably receive this FAQ.

    A word of warning however...  If you have a question about Command & 
    Conquer, and you don't want to receive this FAQ back automatically,
    be sure to exclude the words I've outlined above.
