Description:

This map can be used for free-for-alls or east vs. west team battles.
Unlike most maps, the metal is not randomly scattered throughout the map.
Instead, metal deposits are concentrated in small clusters located at
key positions on the map. Some of these clusters contain geothermal vents
as well. For a true challenge, set the mapping option to "Unmapped".


Strategy:

- The unique metal distribution forces players to set up outposts to
  obtain more metal. Control as many of these areas as possible and make
  sure they're well-defended.

- Send radar jammers with your attack force when striking an enemy
  outpost. Your opponent's army won't arrive until it's too late.


About the AI:

- The LiquidMetal AI v3.0 was incorporated into this map. The AI plays
  best with the following settings:
	- 1k/1k metal and energy
	- 500 unit limit
	- TA, CC, 3.1 patch, and six Cavedog add-on units installed
	- No 3rd-party units or unit packs
***	- AI Packs 1, 3, & 4 installed (available at
		<http://www.planetannihilation.com/aicentral/>). ***
		- These AI Packs simply allow the AI to do things humans
		  can do (i.e. fire nukes). They do NOT give the AI an
		  unfair advantage.

- If you find the AI too difficult, simply remove the AI folder from the
  .ufo file using HPI View and HPI Pack.
