Story:
	
	The rocky planet of Malak had remained hidden from the ARM and CORE for hundreds of years,
	it was only recently discovered by both the ARM and CORE when a battle from a nearby system 
	spread out into uncharted territory. It was the ARM who discovered it first, it was a planet
	rich with resources, and would serve the ARM well. Mining would be difficult as half the metal
	on the planet is up on the many canyon tops that riddle the planet. A single ARM commander was
	sent to establish a base.

	Meanwhile, a CORE probe sent to report ARM movements, found the planet. A single CORE commander 
	was sent to establish a base before the ARM and take the planet. The larget and richest area of
	the planet was chosen, the Ikari Canyons. 

	The battle for the Ikari Canyons, and ultimately Malak, had begun...


Additional Map Notes: 

	There is about 60% of the metal on the ground, with the rest on the canyon tops to encourage 
	some new strategies. The canyon walls cannot be climbed by any unit, even the Commander, as 
	they are too steep, as you will no doubt see. There are unique advantages and dis-advantages 
	to each starting position, for example, (1) has only one entry and exit to its starting area. 
	However, each starting position	has 2 metal patches and one geothermal in the immediate area,
	in order to keep the starts fair. The canyon passages are narrow, and there are many choke 
	points all over the map. There are no clearings as such, so your bases will have to be spread
	out. This is a hard map, trust me. In skirmish, hit SHIFT and * together and then hit x for 
	10 players.


Test Results:

	Works well for me, definitly have to try different strategies, and you definitly need atleast 64MB 
	of ram for a smooth game.
