Description:

I had lots of problems with this map, and it's not worth it trying
to get it work properly. Maybe I'll return to the concept at some
later point. To get an idea what I mean, try multiplaying this
map, or load it into the editor and fight against the CCA on it.
Have fun in experimenting, and remeber, that I've already tackled
most of the problems... ;)

Goofed up with the size, sorry for possible inconvenience. The map
seems to run fine as 1280x1280, but this might cause some
bugging (we've seen it happen). Also seems I've lost one spawn
point =)

The players start off in the corners, but most of the scrap is
inside... (There are areas that were inteded as easily defensible
bases inside. However, they might be difficult to reach ;)

Finally, a word of advice: when moving your support units, make
sure they are following you and they stay out of trouble. If they
should fall into the pits, it should be possible to get them out
through the ramps. If you are desperate, try giving them a push.

When using armouries, keep in mind that the supplies launched
might hit a cliff and not be delivered.

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.

1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your
BattleZone\addon directory (folder).

2) Do not modify any of the files in any way!  The map will no
   longer work and/or lose multiplayer compatability.

3) Run mapadder.exe (MApadder) from your Battlezone\addon
   directory (folder). When it prompts you for the map name enter:
        fortrsio

Next time you play multiplayer, you should see "Fortress Io"
as one of the available strategy maps.

If you have problems installing the map, make sure you have the
following files in your Battlezone\addon directory (folder):

        <no list given>
