Summary: additional comment on ArticFox (Spoiler)


I'd like to make a few more comments about ArticFox. This note is a slight
spoiler (which means, to those new to the net, that this note may contain
information about the game which if known, may make the game easier to 
win eg: might spoil some of the fun in playing). So, if you want to play
and experience everything yourself - stop reading here.

I want to state again that ArticFox is the *only* game available for the
amiga which is completely playable and enjoyable other than HACK. Playability
(something which for example Skyfox exhibits NONE of) is of paramount import-
ance. Enjoyability is a close second. All other EA contributions are neither
very playable or very enjoyable while articfox is both.

Spoilers Start Here.




I didn't realize this at first but Enemy forces begin at the same locations
everytime. This is definately better than having them start out someplace
selected at random.

For example: 51'17''x82'55''is the location of some enemy emplacements you'll
definately want to knock out  early on.

Questions:	In beginner mode - how many of each enemy unit type are there?
		In tourny mode?

		Is the number constant: ie are new enemies created as time
		goes on?

		How many air conversion towers are there?

		What is the exact l;ocation of the other enemy units? Lets
		start a list.

		How can I get a more detailed map of the entire region to plan
		strategies and plot enemy locations?
