RELEASE NOTES

The Game:

Braveheart features a highly advanced proprietary 3D engine that allows
the player to experience close-quarter combat face-to-face on the
battlefield. The entire geography of the UK has been re-created to
anaccuracy of 50 metres, allowing the player to march his armies to
London to steal the English crown,

The game emulates day/night phases, seasonal variations, wildlife,
geographic landmarks and battlefield warfare with complete authenticity.

The 3-D models of soldiers are `skinned\' and `boned\' creating fluid
movement and graphic detail even at close range. A strategic menu
interface allows the player to experience the decision making that would
have faced a Clan leader of 13 century Scotland; managing the resources
of the village, diplomacy with neighbouring Clans and forging trade and
strategic alliances. The ultimate goal is to create an army to defeat
the English and repel the invaders from Scotland.
