Gameplay
Your task is to conquer the whole game field by rolling dice. Each turn you may attack any opponent's territory from one of your adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one die on it. When attacking, If you roll more than the defender, you win. At the end of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice, which are placed randomly on your territory.
Installation
- To play the game, you need a Nintendo DS console and a storage device.
- Copy the dicewars.nds (and optionally dicewars.ini) on your storage device and you're set. Dicewars DS doesn't write any data, thus if you wish save any of the game settings, such as a player name or favourite color, edit the corresponding values in dicewars.ini file.
To play the game over network, you will need to have a ready configured DS with correct Nintendo WFC settings. To setup the network, you can use any WFC enabled game - such as Super Mario Kart, Tetris DS or Animal Crossing. When the WFC settings are in place, Dicewars DS will use automatically these settings to connect to internet.
