Designer: Andrew P.Livings

Credits:  Credit should go to Harlan Thompson for his compilation of 
          improvement icons; to Michael D.Raney for his handy flags; for 
          everyone whose unit icons I availed myself of, and Microprose 
          especially for most of them.


Overview: I started this project as a reaction to the inadequacies of the
          original WW2 scenario included with Civ2. As a project I started by
          merely 'tweaking' the original files; later I completely revised them
          from scratch, so this scenario now features:

          - An accurate map of the European theatre (hah!) with good location
            and spread of cities.
          - A revised advances tree, just to include stuff like Jet Engine, 
            which was my first ever 'tweak' to the original Civ2.
          - 20th century Wonders. All the wonders are active (with unique 
            corresponding icons - see above) except for Leonardo's Workshop.
            This is in Rome and can be activated if you wish by removing its
            obsolesence in the @ENDWONDERS section of the file Rules.Txt. I 
            felt it was too advantageous to any one power.
          - Tons of unique units (see below for break down and Notes.Txt for
            details). Anyone wishing to use my icons is free to do so, after 
            all I freely filched other people's, but I would ask that anyone 
            using them in their own published scenario retains my initials in
            the icon and/or extends acknowledgement elsewhere.


Versions: Version 1.0 (as I call it) included the improvements to the available
          units, which has remained constant, and also to the distribution of
          units. Awarded new units when techs. discovered. (Good idea, but 
          didn't work as anticipated).

          Version 1.1 modified the terrain and cities, creating new Allied 
          cities in America and India, the creation of Copenhagen for the 
          neutrals and the changed allegiance of many Axis cities to neutrals
          to reflect the earlier starting date. 

          Version 2.0 was a radical revision of the map inspired by the 
          geography of the WW1 scenario and fused with my existing alterations.
          The result, inevitably, was smaller, denser, C.European cities. There
          were some unique additions: Narvik, Kabul, Peshawar and the Canary 
          Islands. The Wonders were radically altered: renamed for 20th century
          innovations with corresponding icons, and they are all active. The 
          advances were slightly tweaked to give anti-Semitism to the Axis that
          allows the wonder "Final Solution" (Hanging Gardens). The events were
          also altered away from awarding unit with techs to creating more new 
          units with variable triggers.

          Version 2.01 featured the addition of the Fortress unit, filched from
          the Fascism patch.

          Version 2.1 with a revised advances section, to free up the extra
          slots that CIV2.EXE version 2.7.81 uses, thereby making this scenario
          compatible with version 2.62 (or 2.42, or less presumably - I haven't
          checked).

          Version 2.11 with a revised notes.txt. Also improved flags in
          cities.gif to represent national flags.

          Version 2.2 with amended Pedia.txt. Also solved compatibility 
          problems for version 2.62

          Version 2.3 with reorganized units to free slot 9.

Units:    The first part I tackled was to increase the number of units, so:
          Infantry:   Homeguard; Conscripts; Regular Inf.; Commandos; 
                      Partisans; Mech. Inf.; Alpine Corps; Paratroopers.
          Tanks 1:    Panzer; Cruiser; Renault; Recon. Vehicle.
          Tanks 2:    Panther; T-34; Churchill.
          Artillery:  Artillery; Siege Gun; Howitzer; Self-Propelled Gun. 
          Aircraft 1: Adv. Biplane; Early Bomber.
          Aircraft 2: Adv. Fighter; Adv. Bomber.
          Aircraft 3: Jet Fighter; Jet Bomber.
          Ships 1:    Coal Destroyer; Coal Cruiser; Dreadnought; 
                      Battle Cruiser; Early Sub; Troop Trans.
          Ships 2:    Destroyer; Cruiser; Battleship; Heavy Cruiser; Fleet
                      Carrier; Adv. Sub; Bulk Trans.; Fast Trans.
          Special:    Static AA; Mobile AA; Fortress.
          Rocketry:   V-1; V-2; Guided Bomb.


Events:   Randomly generated Axis Subs. in Atlantic to simulate on-going
          Atlantic War; Axis Infantry on E.Indian border to represent 
          incursions by Japanese; Neutral Partisans to represent on-going 
          resistance movts. in E.Europe.
          The loss of Warsaw to the Axis will provoke the French and Allies to
          declare war; also Athens, Stalingrad, Cherbourg, Amsterdam and 
          Cologne are all CITYTAKEN triggers. The loss of Lvov to the Axis will
          provoke the Soviet Union to declare war on the Neutrals.
          June 1941 will bring the Soviets into the war; November 1942 sees
          Allied landings in North Africa. September 1949 ends the scenario 
          with a dramatic announcement!

Installation: I wouldn't recommend using this as a Mod pack, therefore a sub-
directory should be created to store the files, usually \CIV2\SCENARIO\EURO1939,
and all the sound files (*.wav) should be moved into the sound sub-directory,
usually \CIV2\SCENARIO\EURO1939\SOUND.
