Description...
  A web of slate nestled in a sea of clouds sprinkled with minor and tiny islands.  Enough metal
  and steam to get you going with a rich vein of both in the center spine of the web.

Installation...
 1. Place the .ufo that comes with this in your base TA directory. (e.g. C:\GAMES\CAVEDOG\TOTALA)

 2. Go Play TA

Notes...
 1) The wide metal patches can support two mines (regular and Moho sized).
 2) Solar output is 20.
 3) Wind output, at the height of a gust, is 23.
 4) As with metal vents the steam vents in this map can each support 4 Geothermal power plants.
 5) The islands in the clouds can be built upon.  Use them to your tactical and strategic advantage.
 6) The AI's strategy has been set to air combat.
 7) An Advance Radar can cover about 1/4 of the map.
 8) Long range artillery can cover about 2/3 of the map.
 9) It's now possible to shoot over the mountains at positions 2 & 3 :-)

Bugs/Errors/Fixes
 Fix 1) The altitude problem for the mountains at starting positions 2 and 3
        have been fixed.  (Thanks TAMEC/DGoReck.  I musta bin sleepin' :-)

Distribution...
 Feel free to send this map to any other TA site you know of but include this readme.

File contents...
 SlateWeb V11.zip should contain 3 files:
   Slate Web V1.1.ufo   - the map
   Slate Web V1.1.txt   - this document
   Slate Web V1.1.jpg   - a cool screen shot suitable for framing

 If it doesn't I'd love to know where you downloaded it from!
