                          Civilization II
                           Total Version
                              1-20-97
   This is the version that i use, while nothing is truly original. 
   i wanted to share what i use.
   Since i am not very imaginative and really just a beginner with computers
   i could not have done this of without the creativity of Michael Mccart,
   Steve Strayer and all the other civilization enthusiasts. 
    
   This files will replace rules.txt, labels.txt, pedia.txt, game.txt, 
   units.gif, terrain1.gif, terrain2.gif, cities.gif, city.txt,
   If this files are to be used make sure you back up! 
   otherwise just replace the original files with this.

   Some of the changes are Totalitarianism replaces Fundemanteism,
   the Stormtroopers replace Fanatics, This was taken from the Fascist
   Patch.

   A new tech was added, Secret Arts, its in  the path leading towards 
   Invention, which, i feel comes just a little to soon in the original
   game. Also Secret Arts adds a new unit, Ninja.

   Another new unit added is the Barbarian, while this unit is far to expe
   nsive for anyone to pursue, watch out when they appear with the Barbarian
   leader,or when they come out of goody huts, they are quite capable of 
   destroying entire tribes. They are very useful when they appear as friendly
   units out of goody huts.

   Another tech added is Military Science, which comes after Combined Arms
   and Guerilla Warfare. This tech provides 2 new units Green Beret, and
   Combat Engineers. The Green Beret has a high movement rate and can make
   paradrops. Combat Engineers while not as effective as Engineers, they
   have a high movement rate and high defensive factor. I like to use to
   them to build airbases when invading oyher countries.
   
   Railraod is changed to Autobahn. The highways.gif is used with telephone
   poles.

   Autobahn also provides a new unit the Truck which has a better movement
   rate than the caravan. The freight now comes with the Automobile Tech
   and has a much higher movement rate.

   Another new unit added is the Balloon which comes with Combustion, it can
   attack and can be a good intelligence gathering unit.

   Secret Agent replaces the Spy, which also has a new look and is now a
   male. The Secret Agent can make paradrops which i find to be a huge
   advantage for the human player. I have yet to see a computer opponent 
   utilize him as well as i do.

   Other changes made were as in Fascist Patch, the Crusaders were deleted
   also the Cruiser was taken out as well as the Frigate. I was getting 
   confused with all the naval vessels in the game. I guess im just not much
   of a navy guy.

   The Galleon now has some attack factor.

   Also it must be noted that Leonardos Workshop does not expire  which
   makes it the ultimate wonder in the game!

   In tribes i have added Mexicans (my heritage), and put my name as the
   leader, remember, it can be changed. Arabs wre also added, i couldnt
   help this since i am a gulf war vet.
   Watch out for the German Tribe they will eat you alive, if you dont
   watch out!

   The cities were taken from the all cities gif., the flags were taken 
   from the all flags gif. the terrain was taken from the more real
   mod pack by Jeff Head. 
   Please excuse me if i havent given credit to all whose ideas i took
   from.

   Oh and one more thing. Watch out for the Satanic Cult which appears
   late in the game.
