Thank you for downloading and play testing Mars2! This scenario is near completion 
but there are a number of items that still need to be addressed. Namely, there are
no sounds yet for this scenario. I am currently testing some sounds on my own but
I have not finalized any yet. Most of the graphics are finalized but the icons are
not finished. 

I am still making last minute changes to terrain graphics, units and such as the 
story evolves and to make the scenario make sense. The events are not finished and
this is only a skeletal events file that is missing about half of the planned 
events. There will be further changes in this scenario since game play has not yet
been decided (that's where you come in!). I will need as much feedback as possible.

I still have to make changes on the game.txt, menu.txt, labels.txt and pedia.txt. 
This is a stable release as far as I know and a simple scenario so you may or may not 
get to sample all of the units. If you like building, then this will be up your ally 
however, in the regular scenario, most of what you would build will be given at the
appropriate time.

I will make compatible scenarios for Civ2, CiC, FW and MGE but currently this 
release is meant to be played with MGE. If you want to try it on any of the above 
it should still play but I don't know if CiC can handle the events yet.

If you should find bugs or have suggestions, please post them in the forum where 
this zip file was downloaded. If you are not registed at CivFanatics then please 
join us and reap the rewards of civ. Alternatively, I suppose you can just email me 
at jvaldeztoo@yahoo.com

I suspect this scenario will be completed soon, but I am currently busy with life 
in general so I will not give a particular date. Any feedback whether positive or 
constructive will certainly motivate me. 

Enjoy!
