WHAT IS NEW

   Second Aminet release.
   FreeCiv version 1.7.1, Amiga compile version 2.0.


   (Extract from NEWS file:)
  "For 1.7, a _lot_ of bugs have been fixed, new features added, and thanks
   to John Stonebraker, the AI is now so powerful that you'll probably want
   to handicap it with the "normal" command. :-)"


   (Amiga version 2.0:)
   FIXED: Sometimes client froze while units where fighting (first mentioned
          by Lindqvist Marko - thanx!)
   ADDED: Now you are able to watch hit points decrease while units
          are fighting.
          Hint for AmiWin users added in case client is unable to open window
          on AmiWin screen.

WHAT IS IT

   This is the Amiga compile of a FREEWARE Civilization II clone for
   Unix/X11. Since it has no special Amiga GUI, it needs an Xserver
   (like Xgeek/Geek Gadgets or AmiWin/Holger Kruse) and the Xpm library
   (included). If you haven't installed an Xserver yet, you should first
   get Xgeek or AmiWin and test and play around with it. Warning: this
   isn' sooo easy, but it's feasible, anyhow.


FEATURES

   - Multiplayer via TCP/IP
   - Soloplayer against computer controlled opponents
   - completely configurable (map size, resources, enemies, ...)
   - ...
     (see README for a whole bunch of other features)


FILES

   Needed files:

      FreeCiv1.7-020.lha  OR  FreeCiv1.7-040.lha
      FreeCiv1.7-dat.lha
      FreeCiv1.7-xpm.lha

      FreeCiv1.7-src.lha (only needed for recompile)

      (from Aminet, e.g.
       ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/amiga/aminet/game/2play/)


   Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (registered):

      X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz

      (from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )


   Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (unregistered):

      X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz
      X-11R6.3-fonts-bin.tgz

      (from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )

   NOTE: '.tgz' means '.tar.gz'! So you maybe need a GUNZIP tool to unpack
         the file(s) - this creates a '.tar' file - and a TAR tool to
         list/extract the files inside of the '.tar' file !! These tools
         are available from Aminet, too.


INSTALLATION

   Please read README_Amiga inside for instructions and hints.
