FALLEN HAVEN DEMO v1.0 README Interactive Magic 10/1/96 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This file contains the latest information available about the Fallen Haven demo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This demo is designed to give you a feel for some of Fallen Haven's gameplay. It will allow you to fight battles in a limited scenario. The full game has multiple scenarios, each much larger than the demo. You can also build and utilize many more unit types in the full game, as well as research new technological advances and build new structures. HISTORY OF FALLEN HAVEN The planet New Haven was supposed to be a paradise, an idyllic, peaceful new home for colonists from Old Earth. But that was before the wars broke out, before the provinces turned on one another ... and before the aliens arrived ... Unwittingly, Earth scientists awoke the sleepng giant of the Tauran war machine. The same deep-space probes that first discovered the planet of New Haven also alerted the aliens. Now the Taurans, warlike aliens previously unknown to humankind, have mounted an invasion, descending upon New Haven with one goal: total conquest INSTALLATION & SETUP To install the Fallen Haven demo, launch the program 'setup.exe'. Note: The small Fallen Haven demo (via Web) should be about 12Mbs, and the large Fallen Haven demo (via CD) should be about 25Mbs.
