TWO-PLAYER GAME

Select the Two-Player option from the Main Menu to begin a

head-to-head game with a live opponent. Once you make a connection

with your opponent, you can either customize your character or load a

previously created character from your Hall of Legends. All of your

multi-player characters will be ranked in the Hall of Legends. Following

character selection, you and your opponent will choose a domain for

your conflict on the Realm Map.

NETWORK GAME

You must have an appropriate NETBIOS or IPX protocol loaded (along

with corresponding low level device drivers) to play Blood & Magic

over a network. In addition, you should play Blood & Magic over the

same local network, without routers and bridges, so that information

packets pass more easily between systems. If you are uncertain about

your network configuration, then ask your network administrator for

assistance.

You can avoid conflicts between separate two-player games on the same

network by using a different socket number for each game. Both players

in each game should input identical socket numbers (between 0 and

16383) during the network game start-up menu.

MODEM GAME

We recommend that you use a modem capable of at least

9600 baud. To begin a head-to-head modem game, you

and your opponent must first decide who will place the

call and who will answer. Toggle your MODE under the

modem menu to match this decision.

Select the correct BAUD rate setting for your modem.

When you play Blood & Magic using modems with

different baud rates, both games operate at a speed

based upon the slower modem.
