RELEASE NOTES

This update also installs all previous updates.

New NEXUS Technologies. NEXUS technologies can now be researched! New
electronic warfare weapons let you disable enemy factories and steal
their technologies. Also the NEXUS link has been analysed and reproduced

- capture enemy forces and take over defensive structures

- NEXUS Link - Temporarily disables enemy structures and steals
technology. Capture enemy units and take over defensive structures

- Unit Auto-Repair - Automatically repairs damaged units. You've seen
NEXUS do it, now you can too!
- New Super-Cyborgs

* They're here and they're mean. Super-cyborgs pack big weapons and are
heavily armoured.

* Medium Cannon Cyborg - Cyborg gunner with a heavier punch!

* HPV Cyborg - Adds hyper-velocity cannons to cyborgs

* Assault Cannon - The ultimate in Cyborg cannon firepower

* Tank Killa - Fires tank killer rockets (No kidding!)

- New Weapons

* Twin Assault Cannon - Twice the firepower of the assault cannon!

* Heavy Laser - Disintegrates enemy cyborgs

- New Maps

* Basingstoke - 4 player desert map. Work your way in slowly from the
corners of this huge environment, taking the oil first and then the
enemy's territory. In an area as large as this it is impossible to rush
your opponents Be patient, research carefully, and surprise them late in
the game with something they're not expecting.

* Little Egypt - 4 player desert map. In a claustrophobic map the enemy
are never far away. If you're losing the battle then use politics to turn
the tables. Choosing the right alliances in Little Egypt might well win
you the war. One more thing: don't be lulled into a false sense of
security by the water surrounding your base - hover units and VTOL's are
easily manufactured!

* Sand Castle - 8 player urban map. Capture the remains of this once
great city block by block, securing the bridges with defences as you
progress. Howitzers, mortars and VTOL's will help you reach enemies
across the water when they're least expecting it.

- To help see how resistive your units are to electronic warfare we've
added a new `power bar'. Hold ctrl with a unit/structure selected to
display it's resistance. This feature was also in 1.04, but we've moved
it from overlaying the unit's power bar to overlaying the reload bar.

- Choose your own base. You can now be any player and any color in a
skirmish / multiplayer game. Choose your base on the flag-requester in
the multiplayer setup menu. Each number corresponds to a particular base
on the map. To find your favourite base play a skirmish game, press
keypad-enter to list the players. The number of each players base is next
to the players' name. (eg on 'rush' the top left is base 0, top right 1,
bottom right 2, bottom left 3)

- Bug fixes:

* Fixed crash in skirmish when turning off most skirmish players crashed
the game on startup.

* Factory upgrades in multiplayer were sometimes displaying incorrectly
(medium looked like large).

* Slight Cyborg fix.

* Fixed the awkward cd swap on loading a saved skirmish game.

* Large repair turret is now correctly named.

* Fixed a crash that occurs when a player is typing in a chat message
when the game starts up.

* Forming an alliance now stops any battles currently happening between
allied players. Previously they would continue for a while.

* We found a work around using research which could give you some free
power. fixed.

- Skirmish players are now reassigned when a human leaves. no more 'dead'
skirmish players.

- Skirmish changes and improvements. You can ally with the computer
players. more templates, super cyborgs, doesn't build in water, NEXUS
technology support, provisional counter battery support. Research is now
shared between allies in Skirmish games. When you complete a topic,
it is also given to your allies (as in teamplay).

0 You can now build next to walls, and build walls next to structures.
You asked for it! Don't come moaning when you wall yourself in!

- Routing change. Modified the routing code to be a bit smarter.

- Extra cheat modes and debug screens. Warzone-mod fans stay tuned!

- Direct Modem Play options. You can select a different modem to play
with other than the windows `default modem'. This will help those people
with 2 or more modem devices (e.g. windows CE service users). To use a
different modem open the `direct modem' directory in the Warzone 2100
program directory and double click on the desired modem. 0 is the default
setting.

Map Editor support. Provisional support for map downloading has been
added. If a remote player does not have the map it will be automatically
downloaded from the host. THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED IN THE INTERNET
ENVIRONMENT and is very heavy on communications. If the connection
between machines is non reliable the transfer may fail. If this happens
you will need to delete the map file from the root of your Warzone
installation directory. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOWNLOAD THE MAP FROM A WEB
SITE PRIOR TO STARTING WARZONE. A message will be added to the chat once
the player has the map.

Installation:

Unzip and unrar the wz_v106.rar to your game-dir, overwrite old files.
Then you can use one of the following batch files to start:

WZ3DFX8     3Dfx 800x600
WZ3DFX6          640x480
WZSOFTW     Software Renderer
WZD3D800    D3D  800x600
WZD3D600         640x480

We also included a generic crack to allow you to crack future updates
yourself. To use it, install the update to your gamedir and then run
the wz21gcrk.exe there and apply the crack. No further update cracks
will be needed hopefully :)
