			 ----=====*====----
The demon war scenario is designed to be played as the angel Gabriel, 
otherwise everything goes wrong. The archdemons instinctive hate the 
angels, so don't trust them. They will make war as soon as they can. 
You start alone on a island surrounded by evil.

I don't exactly know what rating which is good. But the first time I 
played I accomplished 92% when I had destroyed the forces of evil at 
A.D. 1725. I played of course on prince level. But that was far to 
easy so I reduced the starting units and the city size by a third and 
then I accomplished 96% at A.D. 1560. This time it was a little bit 
harder to slay the demons. But at that time I had learnt the map so I 
used a new and better strategy. But there was still some trouble with 
the demon's civilizations. The third time I played, everything worked 
fine and I could finish the demons at A.D. 1410 and I got 98%. The 
scenario played at prince level is not so hard to accomplish so I 
recommend experienced civ2 player to choose at least emperor level.

distortion in time and space. You and six archdemon were transferred 
to another dimension. Each of the archdemon took command of an 
ancient Civilization. Your task is easy, fight for your survival 
and destroy the forces of darkness.

THE ARCHDEMONS

Lilith.  This is the grand lady of all demons.  According to some 
legends, she was the sexual partner of Adam before the creation of 
Eve. When Eve came into the world, Lilith was shut up beneath the sea. 
After Adam and Eve were driven from the garden of Eden, Lilith was 
released from her imprisonment.  She wanders about the world like some 
sort of vampire, ever trying to destroy the children of her rival, 
Eve. The demons are sometimes considered to be the children of Lilith.

Asmodeus.  This name is half Hebrew and half Latin.  Asmodeus is often 
mentioned in the literature of demonology.

Belphegor.  The replacement of Tiphereth, the sphere of the vitalizing 
Sun, with a place holding Belphegor, the lord of dead bodies, is most 
striking. 

Beelzebub.  Beelzebub are mentioned in the New Testament as great 
rulers of devils and demons (not the modern Christian concept). One 
theory states that the name Beelzebub is derived from Siriac words 
meaning "The Lord of Calumny", but a more probable Siriac derivation 
is "Bridegroom" or "Lord of the Bride".

Baal.  A word which means "Lord", much as Adonai means "Lord".  The 
word "Baal" or "Bel" has become restricted in its usage to signify a 
"Lord of Darkness" while Adonai has come to signify an alternative 
name to "Jehovah". In biblical times, both the words "Baal" and 
"Adonai" were often incorporated into people's names.  The Old 
Testament usually uses "Baal" to signify an idol or the god of the 
Philistines, but the word is also used occasionally where Jehovah or 
Adonai would seem to be the subject.

Lucifuge.  This is a Latin name. "Lucifuge" is probably a name made up 
to replace the name "Lucifer", "Light Bearer".  People seemed to be 
more at home with the idea that the "Devil" flees from light 
(Lucifuge) rather than with the remembrance that, "before the fall of 
the angels," he was the bearer of the light before the throne of God 
(Lucifer).
