Cyningstan<p>Our attack in February met with modest success, and nobody attacked us, so we've managed to gain back the land we lost.

Rafael<p>1/2 I was talking to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@howtophil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>howtophil</span></a></span> about GEOS and decided that I would spin up a VM to run it. Let me tell you what I learned. I used Qemu and started with FreeDOS (FD14 is really slick!) but GEOS20 would error out on launch. Something to do with memory/files/buffers but none of my fiddling would get it to work. I thought it might have something to do with memory management so I spun up a generic MSDOS6 VM...<br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/freedos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>msdos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/geos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geos</span></a></p>

DesertFOX<p>IBM DOS 3.30 is surprisingly capable, but unfortunately it only supports partition sizes of up to 32MB.

Cyningstan<p>Walls surround the mission level and separate rooms and corridors from one another. They are impassable and block line of sight. Occasionally a large room will have a single pillar which is tactically useful. <a href="http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">dos.cyningstan.org.uk/download</span><span class="invisible">s/261/star-cadre-combat-class</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/starcadre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>starcadre</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ibmpc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ibmpc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>msdos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cga</span></a></p>
Cyningstan<p>Two big attacks against us in January push us down into 6th place. We have little in the way of gold, but are still a respectable force.

Cyningstan<p>The Constructor is now mobile, and can build units (including static units) anywhere it can get to on the map. The Mining Station is static, and can be built by a Constructor. You need to make sure to proctect both of them, as they rely on each other. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/barrenplanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barrenplanet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ibmpc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ibmpc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>msdos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cga</span></a></p>
