He's destroyed your allies.  Turning a peaceful republic and adding it to a huge empire.  
Now he is after you.  You, are the last outpost of freedom in the world.  Now down to two
cities.  The whole world is controled by Treben the Terrible.  He controls everyone and 
everything in a reign of terror.  His will is word.  The people of the empire cry out for you 
to save them, overthrow this horrible dicator.  So you are elected by the people to be the 
the ruler of the last two free cities in the world.  The Senate will allow you to break any 
treaty, they feel it is necessary to destroying The Empire.  So you must set out to topple 
an empire, and free the world from the evil emporer Treben, before you too, are destroyed.

Imformation:	This scenario is set in 3000.  You may choose between The Empire and the Freelings.  The Empire has 58 cities, the Freelings have 2.  The Empire is not recommended for human play.  It'll be way too easy.  Plus the computer has put units all over the place and it takes a long time to sort them all out.  Play the Freelings.  Only having two cities may sound hard but it's not.  You have about a hundred units defending only two cities. So it will be hard for the computer to win.  You are allowed to over throw your Republic but don't expect much: you can only be a Despotism or Democracy.  To be Fundalmentalist would betray your people.  I'll trust you not to switch to Despotism.  In the rules.txt all that is changed are titles and names.  No changes actually affaecting game play have been made.

Technical problems:  The game may be slow at the beginning, this is because the Greeks have so many cities.  Just bear with it.  When you get your first turn you'll imediatly get an end of turn flashing in the status box.  Just click on it.  The Empire will not move and you will be able to move your units.
