Prequisites
-----------

This AI will work with vanilla Total Annihilation, or with Core Contingency.  Battle Tactics is irrelevant, it didn't include anything that affected the AI.  Queller will work best with a 500+ unit limit and TA Bugfix (more on these below).


Installing Queller
------------------

The method of installation can be as follows:

1. Standard setup
2. TA-Mutation setup
3. MacUTATOR setup

If you don't run TA on a Mac and haven't install TA-Mutation, then setup one is for you.  If you run TA on a PC and use TA-Mutation, follow the second procedure.  If you run TA on a Mac and have MacUTATOR installed, follow the third procedure.

1. The Standard Setup

Put the AI and AI.doc folders in your Total Annihilation folder.


2. The TA-Mutation Setup

Put the two Queller folders and the .ai file into your TA-Mutation folder.  When you next load TA-Mutation it will detect this new AI and install it for you.  You will then be able to select it from the AI screen.

3. The MacUTATOR Setup

Put both the Queller files into your MacUTATOR's AI folder.  You will now be able to select it on your MacUTATOR AI screen.


What Queller Does
-----------------

Queller is a non-cheating AI enhancement.  It will improve the behaviour of the AI in both skirmish and missions by ensuring it expands faster and plays more aggressively than the Cavedog AI.  It will even attack you with nuclear missiles.

To ensure you get the best experience from Queller I *strongly* urge you to employ both the 500 unit limit mod, and TA Bugfix.  Both can be downloaded from FileUniverse at TAUniverse (http:\\www.tauniverse.com).  Without TA Bugfix Queller will not perform at its best.  It will not nuke you, and sometimes it will play incorrectly for the type of map you are gaming on.  Having TA Bugfix will ensure that you do not encounter these problems.
