1)   Notes

There are a few things you need to know about the Uprising(TM) 2: Lead and Destroy(TM) Pre-Release Demo before you immediately close this document and begin having fun.  So for god's sake, READ ON, man!

Welcome to Uprising(TM) 2: Lead and Destroy(TM)!  This demo is a pre-release demo build - you may experience bugs that will not be part of the final build.  Please remember this status as you play through the game and notice any irregularities...  You can find the full version of Uprising(TM) 2: Lead and Destroy(TM) at your "favorite PC game retailer" once it ships.

This is a limited demo that has two levels available for play - a simple training mission, and a live fire exercise against the Trich.  The full version contains:

•	40+ scenarios (29 campaign, 14 quickstart & multiplayer missions)
•	Three campaigns
•	Full scenario creator/editor
•	Full Research and Development system within the campaign to allow for upgrades to units, new weapons, and new building types
•	Full joystick and gamepad controller support  
•	Up to eight player multiplayer support, three different multiplayer mission types (standard, deathmatch, racing) 
•	Play multiplayer for free on MPlayer and HEAT
•	CODEX section of game features an on-line glossary of all units

We recommend playing the Training mission before the Demo level. This will help you become familiar with the controls and weapons.

There are two executables to be found in this install package, the software version of Uprising(TM) 2: Lead and Destroy(TM), and the graphics enhanced version built for Glide-compatible cards.

5)   Keyboard Default Controls / Playing the game

One of the greatest improvements for Uprising 2(TM): Lead and Destroy(TM) is the ease of control.  We have used the standard first-person shooter keyboard layout as the default movement keys, ASWD; you can perform the best action at any time as deemed by the Wraith on-board computer by using the F key; hit SHIFT to enter the point-and-click interface by which you move a mouse-driven pointer over screen hotspots to call in units or change weapon types.  

Below is the listing of the keys you need to know:

	Up/Down/Left/Right	Mouse
	Weapon 1 		LMB
	Weapon 2 		RMB
	Forward			W
	Back			S
	Strafe Left		A
	Strafe Right		D
	Sticky Cursor**		Shift
	Overhead Map**		R
	Command Auto-Suggest	F
	Jump to Citadel		C
	Speed Jets		Space 
	Change Tank view	Tab
	Revive			Any Key
	Pause / Menu**		Escape
	Change HUD Display	Backspace

	** When on the overhead map or a pop-up menu, move the mouse to
	     control the cursor, select an option w/the left mouse button

For a more complete listing of what keys are available for shortcuts or fuller functionality, please see the OPTIONS portion of the game.

6)   Story

The Imperium has been defeated.  Long live the New Alliance.  Having overthrown the Imperium of Man at the end of the first Uprising, you are now the main military force of the New Alliance, inheritors of the human settlements throughout the galaxy.  Turns out that the main reason the player was able to win last time around is that the Imperium was fighting a two-front war - one against the rebellion at home, the other against an alien race known as the "Trich."  Now, there's no one to stop them from coming into human 
space and devouring our sector of the galaxy.  

No one but you.

In Uprising 2 you face mankind's worst nightmare, the Kri'isaaran Horde, as they march toward Earth.  You must first drive them out of human space at the Nova Brunei colony, then pursue them into the badlands of border space.  If you get the chance, you may even get to go to the Trich home space to crush them where they live...  

Good luck.
