 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
 ============
     This has an intelligent AI, and will tax your combat abilities fully.  The layout of the land has full strategic capabilities.  Use it wisely.  How you control your opponents movements and control the plaza, determines how you control the game.  Don't forget to duck when the rocks fall from the sky.  Meticulous use of the "Void Tool" has been applied to all ramparts to ensure safe and proper movement of the ground units.

 "Deadly Plaza" has 4 levels of play (Easy, Medium, Hard, Network 1), each with their own AI and Start Positions.  Do have your initial settings for computer/human metal and energy set for 1000 only on all levels (both Skirmish Mode and Online)! (EASY=Krogoth, MEDIUM=McnTerra, HARD & NETWORK=Never Again)

Start Positions are as follows:		1    3
                                        9    7
                                        6    5
                                        8    10
                                        4    2

 I do recommend, that if you play in Skirmish Mode, that you start with with either 2, 4 or 6 players to get the full enhancement of the AI.  You can go up to 10 in Skirmish Mode.  Doing so will extend the game dramatically, and you will see the AI initially change tactics, and attack its nearest neighbors.  I did design this to be played in Multiplayer/Online with up to 10 players for one fantastic bloodbath of a battle.

 I recommend using WinZip to extract this "Deadly Plaza.zip" file (and remember where you extracted it to): saving the "deadly.jpg" for viewing, "deadly.txt" to read, and this unique battlemap "Deadly Plaza.ufo" (in the AI folder) to be placed directly in your C:\Cavedog\Totala directory.

 I have included an AI called "Never Again".  This AI works very well with this map for Skirmish Mode, and may surprise you as to how sophisticated it is.  I recommend your creating a file called AI in your C:\Cavedog\Totala directory, then installing the "Never Again.txt" AI file into this newly created AI file.

 You must have, in your C:\Cavedog\Totala directory, either The Core Contingency or Battle Tactics expansion packs installed in order to use this map.
