Object protagonist:     None
Recommended difficulty: King+
Notes and hints:        1 ) To increase their chances
			of survival all european players
			are upon arrival at the new lands
			recommended to build the 
			following units and improvements
			in all cities;
			Primarily:      Musketeers
					Cannon
					City Walls
					Courthouse
			Secondarily:    Settlers
					Temple
					Coastal fortress
					Granary
			2 ) The Revolution function in
			the game is turned off. This is to
			balance the speed of civilization
			advance acquisition between the
			different states.
			3 ) By inventing a new government
			the player may circumvent the
			restrictions of the turned-off
			Revolution function. Upon
			invention just select Revolution
			when asked about the current
			Government and then select
			the new desired one. This will enable
			an enormous boost in production
			of trade and science. To 
			permanently change back to 
			Monarchy just see to it that
			the Government falls and select
			Monarchy as the next government.
			IMPORTANT: Please observe that this
			cheat will not work if the advances
			for new governments were acquired from
			other states or if the player has
			the wonder Statue of Liberty, thus
			do not build the wonder until new
			government has been acquired and
			invent the Advance by your own nation.
			4 ) In reality the new lands were
			settled by Spain and Portugal at
			discovery. France, England and
			Holland didn't arrive until the
			sixteen hundreds. To give each player
			a fair chance all players start
			settling directly after discovery.
			5 ) In reality the first european 
			settlements were at; 
			England:Jamestown, Virginia
			France: Quebec
			Spain:  Hispaniola
			Dutch:  New Amsterdam
			In the game each nation's settlements
			are named after the cities existing
			there today. This is to add feeling
			to the game as time nears the
			present.

Description:		This scenario is an attempt, which slight modifications,
			describing the colonization by the European States of
			America. The event file makes the scenario even more
			like it was in reality. It might be noted that even
			though all of the European States sought new land and
			wealth in the Americas, the different states usually
			had different agendas.
			The French hoped to build a new empire in the North
			Americas with cooperation with the Indians.
			The English heavily immigrated and rather violently
			colonized the new lands.
			The Dutch wanted to earn enourmous wealth through
			trade with America.
			The Spanish sought land and gold for the glory of
			Spain and conquered almost all of South America.
			The different Indian tribes waged war against each
			other, but fought against the Europeans for their
			own survival.
			The player can try these different agendas and might
			find that the events file will help them in
			establishing the mentioned goals. Have fun!

You're completely free to spread and copy all contents of the Scenario as long
as all files are kept together. If you use any of the material for own
Scenarios I would very much like to receive a copy of the final product.
