Story:
This map features what is left of an ARM civilian city built
long ago on a metal-rich world.

Brutally bombarded from orbit by the CORE, this once great
metropolis is now just a series of huge craters which the
rains have filled over time.

Fortunately, most of its citizens were able to evacuate the
city the day before as sirens warned of the city's coming
doom.  Those that couldn't find transportation out of the city
in time were later rewarded by a vision later that evening
of three spheres of fusion, a hundred times brighter than
their nearest star, falling on them.

For years the CORE have enjoyed their new found world for its
abundant metal, just as the ARM did from which they built their
once proud utopia.

Now the ARM have returned to this destroyed downtown.  Not to
rebuild it.  But to build their armies and annihilate the CORE.

Installation:
TA:CC is required to play on this map.  Copy the "Downtown
Showdown III.ufo" file to your TOTALA folder.  Enjoy!

Computer AI:
This map comes with METALURBAN.TXT for its AI profile.  The
profile is built into the map's UFO file and doesn't require
an individual TXT file.  If you want to use your own urban AI
on this map, copy your favorite urban map AI to
C:\CAVEDOG\TOTALA\AI\METALURBAN.TXT so you can use it with this
map.

Revisions:
This version of Downtown Showdown has a few streets that were
widened and more varied buildings were added.  A tougher AI
was also included.

Dedication:
This map is dedicated to all those urban map players out there.
