Description:
************

A Lunar map (C_A_P Based) with four natural fortress in the corners, four very big craters 
with metal and a big mountain in the midle with some spots. The right fortress have five spots 
but less space to build and the left ones have four spots but more space to build.The mountain in 
midle has a very big amount of metal. The mountains and the craters are crossable by many ways,
but only by some units, like the Thud. Discover the ways and take good use of them!!!!! 

Added Features and Sections for the version 2.0:

In this new version i added 9 strategic placed spots of metal. I added a lot of rocks and 
lot of crushed rocks too. There are more spires now. It looks better than the first version of
Moondance......... .And the best improvement in this revision is the AI, i think.

Installation:
*************

1- Put the MoondanceV2.ufo in your base TA directory ( e.g C:\CAVEDOG\TOTALA\ )

2- Put the archive TAMEC.HPI in your base TA directory.

3- You can put if you want the two units, they are included in the SilencerUnits.ufo archive
   ( Highly Recommended Units ). You can find this units in the TAUIP 2.1 pack, too.

4- Insert the Total Annihilation Skirmish and MultiPlayer (CD1) CD into the drive

5- If the Autoplay is activated the autorun screen will appear in seconds

6- Single Player Game --------- Single ---------- Skirmish ----------- Select Map

7- SELECT MY MAP : MOONDANCEV2

8- PLAY IT! And have fun!

Notes:
******

Great tank battles. It is very useful to build airplanes quickly for control the metal in 
craters and the mountain in the midle. I changed the Ai, now there is a mixed Ai. I think it is
harder to destroy the AI........if you dont use nukes. You can put some RPC on the mountains 
with a few HLT or LLT.........this combination can save a lot of kbots and tanks. The Ai that i
have made its really cool if you play ONLY with TA + TA:CC + Silencer Units, and you vs 3 ais. 
The Core Ai will build Krogoths and the Arm Spiders to paralize the Krogi. Tha Ai will build in 
the half-late game LARGE cuantities of planes including groups of 6 or 7 Hawks/Vamp, 12 or 13 
Brawlers/Rapiers, and if there is a Core Ai you will see the temible BlackDawn in groups of 4 or
5 planes. Be prepared and put a lot of Flakkers and AntiAir Kbots/Tanks around and in your base.
The land force will be formed by flashes/instigators some Samsons/Slasers and Raiders/Stumpies.
There will be in medium-late attacks Zeus, Pyros, Maverick, Oppressor, Dominators, Reapers, Mortys,
Can, Sumos, Bulldog, Warrior, Spiders, Merl, Mobile Artillery..........a lot of units as you can
see.

File contents:
**************

Moondance.zip should contain 4 files
	MoondanceV2.ufo
	MoondanceV2.txt
	MoondanceV2.jpg
	SilencerUnits.ufo
	
Atention: You need the archive TAMEC.HPI!!!!!!! You can find it at the Resource section of
TAMEC
	
Recommendations :
*****************

I RECOMMEND HEAVILY TO PLAY WITHOUT TAUIP 2.0/2.1 
Try the Silencer units.........they are really cool : Core BlackDawn and Arm Oppressor
If you play with Tauip 2.1 or 2.0 i recommend to deselect some unbalanced units
I recommend to play one versus 3 ais in HARD with 10k resources. Its recommended to play with
Berthas and Nukes. Its hard to kill the ai ......... but not impossible, hehehehehe.

SILENCER UNITS :
****************

For more information see the readme into th SilencerUnits.ufo file ( can be viewed with the 
HpiView v1.7 by JOE D).

-The Arm Oppressor doesnt use a new weapon because it uses the Core ones...........cool ;)
-The Core BlackDawn uses the weapon ID number 250. He needs a new weapon id because
the Sabot missile was made originally for a tank, not for a VTOL plane.
