* GENERAL INFORMATION * ======================= TITLE : Europe 1914 (World War One) FILENAME : EURO1914.ZIP AUTHOR : Nick Malewski: CIS: 100014,3467 DESCRIPTION : The setting is Europe, the time is 1914. Europe is at the brink of war. Diplomatic relationships have yet to be established as six countries fight for the gold and wood that indicates power. This is the first (in what I hope to be) a series of maps, representing areas of the world in which major wars were fought. My aim has been to create a map which will force players to talk, i.e to encourage DIPLOMACY. Each player takes control of one of the six the major powers (England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Turkey - Italy proved to be too small to play from), and from there on must decide where to expand their Empire. However, all will not be that simple, others will be trying to do the same. Apart from the main powers, there exist a number of neutral countries (represented by the computer) who, though guarded, should be easy targets. If you like this map, contact me and I'll be encouraged to build more. Perhaps you could give me a suggestion a place I could base the next map on. Watch out for the next in the series of these wonderful maps which will most probably be based in Asia. NOTE: When setting up the game, put the option of starting units to map default. Even though I have not given countries any military units (this was done to make the map as fair as possible), Russia has been given two peons so that she can fairly cover her large land mass. * PLAY INFORMATION * ==================== GAME : Warcraft ][ SINGLE PLAYER : No MULTI-PLAYER CO-OP : Diplomacy is encouraged MULTI-PLAYER "DEATHMATCH" : Yes!!!
