 Westwood Studios,
 December 17th 1998


 Fixes/Changes in 1.06
 ---------------------
 * Improved ladder tracking and cheat checking.
 

 New Features in 1.06
 --------------------
 * 10 new multiplayer maps.
 * 2 new terrain tile sets.
 * Updated unit data (balancing tweaks).
 * 3 new units which are available in multiplayer or practive mode.

 The new unit descriptions are as follows :

 GRENADIER
 House : Atreides
 Requires : Barracks and AT Hi-tech Factory 
 Range : Medium
 Speed : 10km/h
 Armor : Light. Grenadiers are resistant to anti-tank weaponry, but very 
 vulnerable to HE and bullet weapons.
 Purpose : Grenadiers are cheap and effective anti-infantry units. They 
 out-range light infantry and the grenades pack a heavy punch to other 
 infantry.  Their only weakness is the grenades they use which are fairly 
 unstable and tend to detonate when the unit comes under fire, damaging 
 all neighboring units (friend and foe).
     
 SARDUKAR
 House : Harkonnen
 Requires : Barracks and HK Hi-tech Factory 
 Range : Medium
 Speed : 15km/h
 Armour : Medium. Sardaukar are resistant to anti-tank weaponry, but very 
 vulnerable to HE and bullet weapons.
 Purpose : The Sardaukar are the elite infantry of Dune, which is 
 reflected in their cost.  Only the Fremen can compete with them.  Their 
 weapons are effective against infantry and tanks. They are equipped with 
 small mines that detonate if they are run over, damaging any tank that 
 attempts to crush them.
      
 STEALTH RAIDER
 House : Ordos
 Requires : Light Factory and Ordos Hi-tech Factory 
 Range : Short
 Speed : 90km/h
 Armour : Light. Stealth raiders are vulnerable to most types of weapon, 
 but high caliber guns are slightly less effective.
 Purpose : The stealth raider is the ultimate scouting weapon. Although 
 its fire power is weak, a pack of stealth raiders can be a real menace to 
 all but the most careful of opponents.  They are especially effective if 
 used in conjunction with saboteurs (the stealth raider can clear the 
 path of infantry guards).
