RELEASE NOTES

Machines is a real-time strategy game where you control a race of
silicon-based life forms on a mission to seed and dominate new worlds.
The game lets you command your forces from both an isometric third-person
perspective and a free-roaming, ground-level view, but it will also let
you jump into any of your units to steer it, aim it, and fire it. This
feature will let you guide vital units deep into enemy bases - dodging
defensive fire - and actually enter enemy facilities to steal or sabotage
technology. All of this will be delivered in 3D, with hardware accelerat-
ion required for the game's 3D terrain, the fully polygonal units, and
the dynamic lighting and environment effects. Machines offers everything
you've been waiting for in a 3D RTS game.

Features:

~ Real time 3D world makes it real. If you don't hide, attack, and sneak
units inside buildings to conduct covert operations, your enemies will,
and you will die.

~ Multiple Perspectives allows precise control over your battalion.

~ Easy Interface that will be immediately familiar.

~ Campaign mode offers 20 different scenarios that will have you travel-
ing across the universe to different planets in search of enemy home
world.

~ Diverse landscapes including desserts, cratered moons, green rolling
hills & islands. Fight in indoor and outdoor locations, asteroids belts
and space stations.

~ Army of Machines -Research and build 50 different machines each with
unique abilities and attributes. Machines are polygonal units which stand
tall, no more tiny sprites!

~ More than 25 different weapons including Flame Throwers, Plasma Rifles,
Ion Cannons, Nuclear Weapons, and many more all with astonishing effects.

~ Defend your base - Build 18 different types of constructions and 7
different missile emplacements. Travel inside buildings to hide, heal and
steal!!

~ Sabotage and espionage capabilities: Deposit mines inside enemy build-
ings, steal research and pass back vital enemy information.

~ Multiplayer Action -4 player games on a LAN or over the Internet.

~ Supports Microsoft's Internet Gaming Zone.
