Battle Isle - who completed game?

Anubis · 02 April 2007, 17:22

Well, I would like to know how many people completed this game on an Amiga. Also if you like to post what Amiga and if you used acceleration card.

Haakon · 02 April 2007, 20:03

I never did manage to complete it. I suck. A500+.

Anubis · 02 April 2007, 20:13

I used to play it on A500+ (with 1.5MB memory and 20MB harddisk) and I never completed it either.

Reason is that game is time consuming in later levels. (It takes more and more time to computer to think)

because of simillar reason I never completed Colonization on Amiga. Later I replayed it on Dos computer and have completed the game. (unlike BI)

Haakon · 02 April 2007, 20:43

ah! It's a long time since i last played it, but can't really remember it was the time consuming that made me not complete the levels...

Doesn't make my performance any better!

Anubis · 06 April 2007, 19:57

OK,

I assume noone has finished this game.

I started playing this game again from beggining and got stuck on first level with air units.

Here are codes so far:

LV (ID) Level Name
01 (16) CONRA
02 (17) PHASE
03 (18) EXOTY
04 (19) MOUNT
05 (20) FIGHT
06 (21) RUSTY

This is also first level with factory and it has 3 depots.

Any idea how to pass this level? Any tips on strategy?

Haakon · 08 April 2007, 19:55

Do you have a picture of that level?

Edit: never mind, i shall check the game myself...

Haakon · 08 April 2007, 20:26

Ah, that level. I am pretty sure i got past that one. Can't quite remember how, but think you went for the two depots first before you attacked the factory at the bottom.

This is a great game, i will give it a go later tonight when the kids are in the bed...

Edit: Hmmmm...No. I think the one anti-air missile with large range is very essential here. I think i made a defence around my HQ with tanks and had the anti air behind that. When you get "him" to 6 stars, he shoots down everything, But you need to be close to the HQ for often repairs...

Haakon · 08 April 2007, 22:52

yuck...I had wiped out everyone expect the artillery at enemy HQ, and was lazy not to take the factory. And he shoot my only groundtroop just before i was going in...

well, one more try...

Can't really understand the time issue..the computer doesn't think THAT long...

Haakon · 08 April 2007, 23:43

Lvl 07, code: FIFTH

Anubis · 08 April 2007, 23:55

I finished it yesterday as well. I went after middle depot and just after computer made to it, I did as well. (thanks to transporter unit)

But while running after deport, that enemy artilery unit got strong. I did go after factory and at the end I had 3 units going after enemy's HQ.

And yes, it's code FIFTH for next level. Thanks again for sharing your strategy.

I didn't have a time to play this new level, but during this week I will.

LV (ID) Level Name
01 (16) CONRA
02 (17) PHASE
03 (18) EXOTY
04 (19) MOUNT
05 (20) FIGHT
06 (21) RUSTY
07 (22) FIFTH

Just a question:
Do you ever noticed, that volume name "BI5" is missing?
It has been released, for me it looks very official.
Maybe it was not commercially marketed.
"BI5" is another data/missions disk released on fair "Amiga 1991".

Seeing this thread inspired me to play the WHDLoad of this game, but I'm having a problem.

I can't change the player setting from Human to Computer for a one player game.

Help please.

@dlfrsilver:
Do you have french release?

I completed this game. And also I can't see any relevance in questioning about acceleration card

Wepl · 23 December 2010, 18:38

I completed it too. The hardest map in my opinion is the first single player map in data disk #1 (desert scenario).

dlfrsilver · 23 December 2010, 21:58

The french release has only the keyboard changed to french.
