Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a humorous turn-based strategy game where players lead a pig nation in a global war to control swill-rich territories. Players conquer regions through strategic combat to achieve world domination and secure their nation's prosperity.
Story
The Story
He who controls the swill controls the universe. It really is that simple.
Swine scientists have discovered an untapped supply of swill in the uninhabited archipelago of Saustralasia deep in the South Pigsific Ocean. Every Hog Nation wants this land as its own.
Saustralasia's 25 regions are drenched in swill. The only way to ensure that no one else gets their filthy trotters on the delicious swill is WAR.
From the rather British Tommy's Trotters and Uncle Hams Hogs from the other side of the pond, to the Sushi Swines and the Sow-A-Krauts, this is a World War like no other: to possess every last drop of swill on the planet.
Let us not romanticise these battles though brave hogs. There will be slaughter and butchery. Your job will be to bring victory to your chosen nation, to save your own bacon and make a meal of your enemies.
With victory comes great reward. So great in fact that your brave boars will be as happy as pigs in... well, you get the idea.
With any luck, we'll all be home in time for Christmas. So what are you waiting for? Chop, chop!

THE GAME
To successfully capture and exploit Saustralasia, you must command your Hogs of War to seek and destroy the enemy across 25 different regions. You will make do with the limited resources that we can grant you.
It is through your cunning, skill, bravery, and downright pigheadedness that whatever side you choose will be victorious in the field of battle. As well as a limited arsenal, you have to maintain a rather small army.
Protect your pigs, and they'll have the chance of promotion. With on-the-job training, your swine shall soon learn more skills and acquire the use of a wider range of weaponry.
Saustralasia itself is split into six different islands, and you must conquer each of these in turn. Start in Hogshead, before marching into Trotsville, Saustralia, Bellyopolis, Arstria and finally reaching the Isle of Swill.
First things first, you must decide which army you wish to fight for in this game. Choose wisely, because once you've committed yourself to one side, no one else will want to go anywhere near you with anything other than a barbecue skewer.
Decide between Tommy's Trotters, Piggystroika, Sow-A-Krauts, Sushi Swine, Garlic Grunters and Uncle Ham's Hogs, then prepare to do battle with those you have snubbed.
Pigs have a strong sense of fair play. As such, every soldier must calmly await its turn to deal death and destruction. When it's your army's turn to fight you are given a limited amount of time to plan and execute your attack (keep an eye on the timer in the bottom right of the screen).
You can walk, run, jump and later swim nearer the enemy, or you can save your bacon and just run away. Position yourself for an attack, choose your weapon and fire. Make sure you get it right, because no matter how quick you are on the draw you only get the one attempt. Miss and your turn is over.
Each pig is given one attack period, alternating between the armies. When everyone has had a go the first pig is allowed to attack again.
MAIN MENU
Each time you start Hogs of War you can choose a one player or multi-player game, change the audio and video options or remind yourself of the controls.
ONE PLAYER MODE
You can load an old game from this screen in the future, but for now you need to start a New Game. Pick your desired army from the six choices and press the X button to confirm your choice, or rename them to something more personal if you wish.
You have a squad of eight little piggies (five plus three in reserve), from which you can select your pigs for each mission. Only the highlighted swine will find themselves on a transport vehicle and winging their way to the battleground. The rest are let off the hook for now.
Perhaps you will want to keep the same team together - after all they can reach the higher echelons of the promotional ladder the more service they see, or perhaps you'd rather rotate your privates to keep the team fresh, and your squad plump and well-rounded.
In the Squad Select screen you can move the cursor between the eight-team members. These are the default porkers for the next mission. If you press the X button on one of them you are given a menu of three more options.
•
Rename the individual pig
•
Swap him with a swine currently on R&R
•
Raise him up the ranks (if you have some promotional points spare)
The rasher ranks are fixed. Promotion takes your basic Grunt through the ranks of Heavy Weapons, Medical, Espionage or Engineer to the lofty heights of an Officer. Since you have no Promotion Points when you start the game you won't be surprised to learn that you return to the Squad Select screen between every sortie.
Once you have settled on your swine squad move the cursor highlight to Start Mission for your briefing. Keep a good squad together forever by using the Save Team menu option, and bring them back in future missions using the Load Squad option.
MULTI-PLAYER MODE
Up to four teams of piglets can take it in turns to knock six shades of swill out of each other on one small battlefield. It can get rather messy.
There's a hell of a choice of multi-player games.
SURVIVAL (last pig left alive wins) - NOVICE
The terrain and the number of pick-ups is aimed at the novice soldier.
SURVIVAL - EXPERT
Terrain and pick-ups biased towards the combat veteran
