           ULTIMA ONLINE: THE SECOND AGE
----THE FIRST SCENARIO EVER MADE ABOUT ULTIMA ONLINE----



Instructions:

Unzip the first .zip file in a \Scenario subdirectory, for example C:\Civ2FW\Scenario\UO_T2A,  and the second in a 
 sub-sub-directory called sound, for example C:\Civ2FW\Scenario\UO_T2A\Sound.
The files game.txt and city.gif, which are in \Main subdirectory, must be put in the main directory (they won't work in the
 same directory as the others), for example C:\Civ2FW; REMEMBER to backup the two files before doing this

Scompattare il primo file .zip in una sottodirectory di \Scenario, ad esempio C:\Civ2Gold\Scenario\UO_T2A,
 e il secondo in una sotto-sotto-directory chiamata Sound, ad esempio C:\Civ2Gold\Scenario\UO_T2A\Sound.
I file game.txt e city.gif, che si trovano nella sottodirectory \Main, devono essere messi nella directory principale 
(non funzioneranno se messi nella directory con gli altri), ad esempio C:\Civ2Gold; 
 RICORDARSI di fare il backup di questi due file prima.

-----------------
The game:
If you have never played Ultima Online maybe you will find this scenario too much linear: there are no notable events
that happen during the gameplay. But if you play UO then you'll know that every shard has a different story, because
it's a different parallel world. For these reasons events.txt is only 3KB sized.
In this case you'll even know the purpose of each civ.
If you don't know here they are:
-> Order and Neutrals compose the Kingdom of Britannia. Order guilds should try to expand it and to clean Sosaria 
from dungeons and pirates. Neutrals should be not interested in wars or should act to balance good and evil powers
-> Chaos should try to conquer as many order or neutral cities as possible
-> Monsters, Orcs and Non-Deads are NPCs: you can play with these civs, but there'll be no tech advances
The protagonist civ in the scenario is order: the decisive victory is a very difficult goal to obtain.
Notes:
1-I had to identify the chaos with the pirates and the pk (player killer): this is certainly incorrect.
There are good chaos, neutral chaos and evil chaos, as pirates are completely independent people.
But it's true that these differences in the real Ultima Online are very confused,
and so to guarantee the linearity of the scenario, you will find pk=pirates=kaos under the tribe "Chaos"
2-The name of the kings and some details in the scenario refer to my shard, Gamersrevolt.
Previously I had assigned cities basing on that world: since version 2.5 I've corrected this
3-FW version doesn't recognize describe.txt, so there will be no pedia for terrain types and game concepts
4-FW version hasn't "The Beginning" scenario, due to a strange crash
------------------
Known bugs:
1-Orc and Orc capitain icons tend to vanish in build window when in control of a civ which is not Orcs
2-Giant Spiders vanish in build window when in control of a civ which is not Monsters
3-The same happens to GM Mage, GM Archer and PvP Master when in control of another tribe
3-Some military units in the pedia have wrong movement rate
4-Blade Spirits and Energy Vortex cannot be built after the discovery of UOAssist
