RELEASE NOTES

Ok, we noticed some problems when playing Netstorm online yesterday
in a multiplayer network game. We tested the multiplayer mode on local
IPX networks which worked fine but once you start connecting to
the Activision server you cant play against some1 else who didnt buy
the game.  So, You can play the game fine against other people who have
bought the Netstorm CD. But Activision wanted half the people to have a
CD during netplay. So this is just a patch that allows people to play
against other people w/o the cd.
You do NOT need this fix if you play single mission only or play against
some1 who bought the cd or you live in some iglu in Iceland and get yer
stuff by penguin-mail.
One Final Note: If you hang out at Activision's Server you may see the
tons of ppl who play the DEMO of that game - you CAN NOT play together
with em, cos there is a version check which i did not remove ON PURPOSE,
cos i dont know what is implemented in the final which is not in the
demo and i assume the version check has some reason.
And ... if you get the message: ANOTHER USER IS LOGGED IN AT THE SAME
number (or sumth) just change your local settings i.e. SaveGameName etc.
Sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused.
Id Mud

Rule the skies with ground-breaking realtime strategy.  Wage intense
multiplayer warfare over the internet.  Capture and sacrifice High
Priests in winner take all gameplay!  This game is very fun.. might be
a bit confusing at first considering that you are in the sky and need to
start your colony from the sky up.  But have no doubt, Activision has
brought another winner to the table and we're proud to bring it to you.

Nimbus: a mythical world comprised of warring sky-borne islands and
violent weather conditions. This is more than a kingdom in the air:
this is your battleground.
Each tribe of the bitterly divided Nimbian people lives on its own
island; one of them is yours. Each island has its own Temple, dedicated
to one of the three Furies -- Rain, Wind and Thunder -- which are locked
in eternal stuggle like the Nimbians the mselves. You must help your
own Nimbian tribe to protect its powerful High Priest, who alone has the
ability to harness Storm Power, the essence of all creation and
destruction.

While the Furies are pleased with the proliferation of Temples in their
honor, they are most pleased with the sacrifice of enemy High Priests
at the altars of their temples.

Thus the wars of Nimbus are born ...

Enjoy!
