Planet:         Europa
Size:           2560x2560 (Standard, Medium)
Players:        4
Type:           Strategy
Scrap Count:    380, that enough?
Geysers:        38... it's true
Powerups:       None whatsoever

Briefing:

This area of Europa is somewhat mountaunous. The valleys are deep,
the hills are high. Our survey team has determined that the
terrain is traversible by all types support units. The area you
start your mission in will have enough geothermal activity to give
you options in establishing a base. No enemy shows up on radar
scans, but be on your guard commander. The area is ample with
scrap, and our enemies might take an interest in it. Maybe you
should establish defensive positions on the high ridges, just in
case...

Author's Notes:

This map has been long in the making and has taken lots of my
work. It was in the beta stages for two months, as I could not get
people to test it. Some members of the Dragon's Claw Clan helped
me in this, especially my thanks go to my comrade and fellow Claw
Zakke. At two(!) points the map didn't run in multiplayer, the
first time I had to make a new .bzn file, the second time I had to
export the .hgt file and otherwise kind of start from a scratch.

The textures aren't yet finished in some areas, as is easy to
notice. However, the map is fun to play already, and I think it's
clearly the best map I've made so far. Therefore I release it
now. The 1.1 version will be out in a week or two, and will
feature:
-fully completed textures
-slight modifications on terrain, geyser placements, etc...
 depending on playtesting and feedback

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:
        frozdead

Next time you play multiplayer, you should see "Frozen Dead"
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):

frozdead.bzn
frozdead.trn
frozdead.mat
frozdead.lgt
frozdead.hgt
frozdead.bmp
frozdead.txt
frozdead.des
frozdead.mad
