DESCRIPTION:

The World At War! (1900 - 1950) MOD for Call to Power 2 (CTP2) is a totally new way to play.  In the beginning you find yourself with the Aquired Knowledge of history, 4 settlers, 3 rifleman regiments and 2 light field guns.  You have no knowledge of the modern lands outside of your home territory, but have the tools, units and desires to explore the surrounding lands and expand as your nation grows.


*******
THANKS:

- Testers/players: Thanks to all who have played WAW and provided suggestions for making it better.
- Scripts: Thanks to Peter, Ben, Wouter and Player1 for making their CTP2 scripts public.
- AI: Thanks David for all your work on strategies.txt, DiffDb.txt, orders.txt and others.  I've used and changed some of these.  I've also made a lot of my own changes to the AI text files to produce a very active AI.
- Graphics: Thanks Harlan for the WWII units and pictures.


*************
INSTALLATION:

1. You MUST have CTP2, the official Activision CTP2 1.1 or 1.11 patch, and ModSwapper installed to play World At War.

2. Simply unzip the World At War zip file into your Call to Power 2 directory (default: C:\Program Files\Call to Power 2\ or C:\Program Files\Activision\Call to Power 2\).

3. Open userprofile.txt and find the line "DebugSlic=Yes".  Change this to read "DebugSlic=No".

4. Run the World At War MOD by selecting the option in ModSwapper.


***********
KNOWN BUGS:

Unfortunately in the case of any game/MOD/add-on, there are some bugs in World At War.  These are listed here.  There is no need to report these bugs as they are being addressed.

- Science advisor (either by pressing F6 or clicking on the button) will lockup the game.  Sorry, don't use it.

****************************************
ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED IN FUTURE UPDATES:

- The AI is still not using build lists effectively.  I'm working on a new script to enable the AI to build a good mix of units.  Currently the AI only builds the "best" unit in its build lists.
- I am working on an AI Naval Improver and an AI Army Improver script which will replace frenzy.slc.  Though a good script for its time, many bugs and issues have been found with the script.

******
NOTES:

- There is only 600 turns in this game.  Each turn represents one month.
- There are only 3 governments available in the game.  All are available from the start.  Change your government to one of Fascism, Democracy or Communism when prompted.
- Happiness is very easy to keep high.  This is due to standard infrastructure built when a city is founded (sewers, hospital and cathedral).  However, due to the capturecity.slc script, most of these will be destroyed when you capture a city.  Untill you build these buildings again, happiness is extremely low.  I see this as representing the high level of Nationalism of the era.
- Please read "Tech Tree.xls" for advances and what they make available.
- Please read "WAW Version Changes.txt" for what changed between versions.
