History:
********
Some months after the Little Wing battle, another confromtation is near, another Arm commander
arrived yesterday and the gunpowder could be smelt on the air. The units are taking positions and 
soon this will be the worst inferno that you can imagine in your mind. Crush them all!

Description:
************
THis map was made using the Little Wing base but its completely diferent. Four dark messas that
contain most of the maps metals are waiting for you. The messsas are surrounded by water that
have a few more metals. You can control the ground but you will need the water to really sing:
Victory! ...

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

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

2- Put the archive TAMEC2000.HPI in your base TA directory.

3- Put the HPI/UFO/CCX files that are include with the zip on the TA directory, too.

4- It is highly recommended to use the TA-POWER units. You can find them on the TA-POWER site 
   (http://www.planetannihilation.com/ta-power)

5- If you want to play with my custom AI just put the WetMoonAI.txt file in your AI directory. 

5.1- If you are playing UH and want to play with the Default.txt that BAI has, its easy, just 
     activate the BAI and it will work perfectly.

6- Insert the Total Annihilation Skirmish and MultiPlayer (CD1) CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

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

8- Single Player Game --------- Single ---------- Skirmish ----------- Select Map

9- SELECT MY MAP : ECHOES

10- PLAY IT! And have fun!

Notes:
******

-THE AI INCLUDED IN THIS MAP IS TOTALLY COMPATIBLE WITH ALL OTHER AIs (Queller, Banzai, Switeck)
-This map includes 100% new tiles
-The AI will expand quickly if you use a cheater AI (like banzai) and will attack you, try to get
the metal that is found on the brown messas. The map is small so the quickly you move to them the most
possibilities to win!
-If you are using UH2.x or later the AI could build nukes so take care ;)
-The AI included for OTA is based on my old AI and works decently for it but dont expect a great game
if you are playing with UH i should HEAVILY recommend to use the Default.txt profile that the BAI
uses.
-You can use my AI, simply move the Default.txt file that i include with the zip to the AI dir.


Bugs:
*****

Send to me if you find one!!!! 


File Contents:
**************

Echoes.zip should contain 3 files:
	Echoes.ufo
	Echoes.txt
	Echoes.jpg
	
Recommendations :
*****************

-Recommended to play with UberHack TA-POWER Units (especially the TA-POWER Spider pack)
 and the great UH 3.1.7 or later version and with BAI Default profile.
-PLAY WITHOUT TAUIP 2.0/2.1/3.0 or deselect the unbalanced units
-Recommended Game Settings = 1 vs 1 AIs -> 10 k resources for the AIs and 1k Energy
 and Metal for you. Dificulty : HARD.
