They set their differences and conflicts aside to live inº º mutual understanding, peace treaty they destroyed their weaponry developed º º over the long years of war. What wasn't demolished was hid in secret º º repositories on far-away planets of the galaxy. º º º º Many hundred of years went by in peace. The memory of the dark ages of war º º faded. The planets of the Ring World became the Gardens of Eden. One day º º unknown spaceships showed up on the horizon. The beings on-board called º º themselves HUMANS. The inhabitants had to realise that the rest of the º º º º Universe did not live in peace as they had. º º º º The Mission º º º º You are introduced to the three remaining species of the Ring World. You º º choose which one you want to lead, through 5 missions, to victory. º º The missions will fit the culture, weaponry and goals of the species. º º º º There are Aruthas, Eriins and Trasks. º º º º The Aruthas are the inhabitants of the deserts of ESHYL. They have º º well-developed technology and live primarily underground. The Aruthas º º are intelligent, unpredictable, treacherous and merciless. Their aim is º º to slave all the other inhabitants of Ring World and dwell in tyranny. º º º º The Eriins are the adherents of peace from the sunshiny blue country. º º Their technology is mediocre, but they have a very strong background º º of sciences. The Eriins want to restore the peace of Ring World, at º º any price. They consider themselves as the most advanced beings, as º º the leaders and masterminds (even Gods) of all Ring World species. º º º º The Trasks are an ancient nation from the turbulent and fiery KULGAN. º º A tough and rugged species, used to the constant volcanic activity in º º their homeland. They are as well known for their lack of intelligence, º º folly and brutality. Their aim is the extermination of all other beings º º of Ring World and the seizure of their possessions. º º º º Hopefully this should hold out for all the RTS strategy fans until the º º release of Dune 2,000. º º º º º º Greets to: ChinaBlue, Exeron, klu, TrainMan, Night Vision, aTm, Juice, º º CATMAN, Prozac, Radar, Animal&Dogfriend, The Blue Adept, ZeC, º º Hemp Hoodlum, Fallen Angel, Dray, Smokey, Devil, White Knight, º º Grudge, MrSandman, Jammer, and all the others in Class. º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ º oOo Install Notes oOo º º ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ º º Unpack with INSTALL.EXE and run CLASS.EXE º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ º oOo Ramblings of a Rufus oOo º º ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ º º º º There are a few things I would like to take some time to address for no º º other real reason than I am tired of the EMail we receive. So many of you º º out there are confused and it is about time someone sets you straight. I º º would like to think I speak for the majority of the other groups out there º º when I say this, but that is for them to decide. First off, we do not º º waste our fucking time uploading to AOL. Everyday there is EMail from º º somegimp@AOL.COM saying that the release we mailed them was in 4 parts º º and one of the disks was missing or it had a CRC error. Get it through º º your thick heads, WE DO NOT MASS MAIL TO YOUR SORRY ASSES. Second, we DO º º NOT sell CDs so stop wasting bandwith and our time with such questions. º º third, the ACE compression is not OUR compression. Just like RAR, someone º º else coded it, we just use it. This brings me to another point, it seems º º that after our releases have trickled down to the average Joe files are º º very often missing. No CLASS.NFO, no FILE_ID.DIZ, various parts of our º º INSTALLATION program, etc. If the INSTALL.EXE does not work for you, this º º means you have to MANUALLY decompress the game. Yes, the horror. Having º º to do something as complicated as UNACE X FILENAME.ACE You can also use º º ACE.EXE instead of UNACE.EXE. If you are still reading this and want to º º know just where you can get ACE.EXE the answer is simple: º º º º http://WWW.GAME-OVER.NET º º º º While you are there you can also read about what has been released and get º º reviews of recent games. This can be extremely helpful if you find º º yourself getting a lot of FAKE RELEASES. If you want to know which are º º REAL and which are NOT you should read a Monthly Game Report like JTF or º º some of the various others. JTF can be found here: º º º º http://www.mygale.org/~jtf98/index.html º º º º Now that I have insulted the millions of AOL customers and educated the º º rest I am going to answer a few questions the average Joe will be asking º º themselves. º º º º Q: Well, if you don't upload to AOL, Offer on IRC, have public FTP sites, º º or have your releases available on the web, how am I supposed to get º º your games? º º º º A: Not our problem. Maybe if you DID something for the scene and º º contributed in some form or fashion you would not be stuck with these º º problems. Nothing in the world is free, if you want something you need º º to get out there and earn it. º º º º Q: Are you accepting couriers? Sites? º º º º A: NO, NO, AND NO. Since day #1 we have not been accepting couriers nor º º do we have any plans on accepting couriers. Stop EMailing us with this º º question. º º º º Q: Do you have a Web Page? º º º º A: Does it look like we have one? If/When we ever do, believe me we will º º advertise it here. º º º º Q: Why are you such an asshole? º º º º A: I am just very talented.
