Welcome to the Apolyton Pack for CTP2, the way it should be.  A lot of people have contributed their own personal time and effort into making CTP2 the best TBS-civilisation game ever (well until Civ3 comes out anyways ;)  Please read File Credits.txt for a full list of the changed files and their authors.  This pack is only intended for the original CTP2 game.  It fixes and enhances many things with the original setup to make the game more enjoyable.  Feel free to leave us messages on the Apolyton CTP2 forums at http://apolyton.net

Requirements:
-------------

Apolyton Pack requires the following components before installation:
- CTP2
- Activision patch V1.1 (or V1.11)
- DebugSlic=No in \ctp2_program\ctp\userprofile.txt
- Modswapper

Installing:
-----------

Simply unzip all files to your Call to Power 2 directory.  If when installing CTP2 you allowed setup.exe to install to the default location, you will find the "Call to Power 2" directory at one of the following locations:
	C:\PROGRAM FILES\CALL TO POWER 2\
	C:\PROGRAM FILES\ACTIVISION\CALL TO POWER 2\
If you have a non-English version of CTP2 you must copy all files and folders from the 'english' folder into your language folder or the pack will not work.  However, if you have the German version of CTP2, then Martin Ghmann has kindly translated all the scripts and you don't need to copy the files to the 'German' folder.  Load Modswapper and choose either "Apolyton Pack!  CTP2 the way it should be" or "Apolyton Pack!  Ultra-gigantic map" to begin playing.

Which one do I play?
--------------------

Apolyton Pack includes two versions:
- "Apolyton Pack!  CTP2 the way it should be" which runs on the standard CTP2 size maps.
- "Apolyton Pack!  Ultra-gigantic map" which changes the map sizes so Large is the current Gigantic size, and Gigantic is now 4 times bigger!  Governments have had the city thresholds changed to accomodate the larger maps.  It is not recommended to play on maps smaller than Large in this setup.  The Ultra-gigantic map version also contains ALL changes in the Apolyton Pack.

How do I play with more than 8 civs?
------------------------------------

This can be easily achieved.
1. Open the following file in notepad:
	Call to Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp\userprofile.txt
2. Change the top line NumPlayers=XX where XX is the amount of civs to be in the game (no more than 32).
3. Start a new game of CTP2.
4. DO NOT click on the button to select the number of players.  You'll notice the button shows how many players will be in the game.

Major Changes:
--------------

- Terrain: Better map layouts, fairer terrain outputs.
- Diplomacy: AI handles diplomacy better.
- AI: More agressive and smarter.
- Difficulty levels: Raised the bar to make them harder.
- Units: Leviathon now has the correct movement rate of 10 as per CTP1.  Fascist unit has been made stronger now it appears in the next age.
- Advances: Tuned to flow more with the timeline, and Fascism has been moved so that NATIONALISM and MASS MEDIA are the pre-req advances.
- Maps: In the Ultra-gigantic map setup, Gigantic is now 4 times bigger in area (length and width doubled).  Government city thresholds have been increased to accomodate this change.
- Many many many bug fixes and workarounds.  Winnie says it best in tut2_main.slc ......
	"more workarounds than you could shake a lemur poo at".

For a list of all changed files and what they do, please read Changes.txt.
