Title                   :The Birth of Vesuvius

Filename                :Hot_Lava

Author                  :Cameron Vine

Email Address           :SCVINE@UALR.EDU

Misc. Author Info       :I still don't have a modem at home, but you can 
reach me at UALR from time to time.  If you write, I'll get back to you, 
it just might be a few days bacause I don't check my Email every day.

Description             :Single Player pud modified with War2xed.  It 
should be playable without the expansion disk, but it's really hardcore, 
so it might not be playable on a 486.  Lots of unit properties changes.  
The undead throw touch of darkness, the archers shoot bolts of lightning, 
the peasants can throw their axes, some of the critters can be used to 
blow up enemy units, Uther & Lothar lob cannonballs, etc.....  Two 
rescue missions, one active, and one passive.  Oh, don't forget to check 
out the active volcano I named this one for.  Don't look for it in the 
map editor, it doesn't become active until the game starts.  If you do 
open this pud in Blizzard's editor, don't save or it won't work anymore.
Cheezy Story Line?  OK.  Rumor has it that Guldan successfully unearthed 
the tomb of Sargeras, and that Sargeras is planning to beget an heir.  
Sargeras' faithful Daemons gather around the newly formed Volcano to 
await the coming of Vesuvius.  In a frenzy of destruction unheard of even 
for Orcs, Guldan is planning all out annhilation of the humans once and 
for all.  Prepare for Guldan's assault, and wipe him and his human traitor 
allies out. 

Hints                   :Don't perform any of the rescues until you are 
ready!!!  The Purple guys will save your bacon if you leave them alone. 
As long as you don't come in contact with one of the town halls I originally 
gave them, they will continue to come to your aid.  No way you'll make it 
without their independant assistance.  The Bomb toting critters I left you 
are set as rescue passive, and penned up for when you are ready to go get 
them.  Don't go get them in the thick of battle or you'll get the "Can't 
create additional units" message from the computer.  The CPU will most 
likely choose that moment to eat your lunch.  There is a green Great Hall 
next to the penned up critters, this acts as a trigger.  Just touch it 
with one of your guys, and all the critters come under your control at 
the same time.  Raise the dead a lot, but don't neglect your other units. 
Keep making knights & ogres, and keep those guard towers in good reapir.
			 
Additional Credits to   :Daniel Lembert, for his map editor, War2xed, 
which allows much greater creativity than Blizzard's editor.
Phil Chamney, who created the pud XTHERA.  I got the idea of the Volcano 
from his map description of XTHERA.  His Volcano was not "active," but 
I felt I should mention it lest someone accuse me of being plagueristic.
