| Description of the Modification |
===================================
This is the source code of the qcc code for the TC called "Empires".
If you haven't downloaded it yet, please go get it at ftp.cdrom.com
or something. It's really worth it!
Anyhow, have fun with this stuff.

==============================
| Questions About the Source |
==============================
If you have questions about this code you can email me at madlener@pi.net,
but don't mail me for some stupid tips or something.. Don't get me wrong,
but I'm getting tired of writing qcc. My goal is now to code some real c.
(hey, our next TC is based on Quake2 ;-)

========
| Note |
========
It's too bad that Quake2 was released so early. Ok, on the other hand it's
cool, but our hours (and I mean lotsa hours) won't be appreaciated as much
as when Quake2 wasn't out yet.. Damn. That's life...
The Empires code isn't really finished, but I didn't have enough time to
finish the whole job. Well, I guess that's up to you.. Good luck!
