ABOUT
=====

Greetings, fellow Gamers !

This is a modification for the HOMEWORLD:CATACLYSM a RTS-game settled in space.
In Multplayer mode you can choose one of two sides. One of these sides (Beast) is replaced
by the Turanic Raiders a faction well (?) known in the Homeworld universe.
Enjoy playing !
Tech



SYSTEM-REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION
====================================

1a) Homeworld:Cataclysm must be installed and patched.
1b) No remniscents of other modifications should be left.
2) Look into the default Homeworld:Cataclysm directory (may be c:\Sierra\Cataclysm).
2) Scan through until you find a file named 'update.big'. Make a save-copy from this file (e.g. 'update_orig.big').
3) Drop the 'update.big' from the downloaded zip-file into the default directory. Play a game .....
4) To uninstall the mod simply remove 'update.big' and recover the original content from your save-copy.
(Fr die deutsche Version: 
Die Datei 'english_g.script' in 'english.script'  umbenennen und in das Stammverzeichnis kopieren.)


CHANGES - REPLACED BEAST SHIPS
==============================

- All researchable ships are replaced with original Turanic or new created models.
- The beast infection is disabled. It is still possible to gain technologies through salvaging.
- The sides aren't balanced yet, i leave this to feedback.
