Description of MARS!.ZIP
Hi, this is yet another scenario for Warlords II. Its set on Mars, not the
real Mars, but the Mars seen through the telescopes around the turn of
the century, one with canals and Martians. While I've read all the Edgar
Rice Burroughs novels about Mars (and Venus, and Pelucidor), I didn't use
any of his stuff in the scenario, because of copyright violations. Middle
Earth scenarios have run into this problem.
Anyway, its a fairly short scenario, with only 6 sides and 50 cities.
The easiest side to win with seems to be the Canal Martians, and then
the Bog, and Hill Martians. At least for the computer. Me, as I know the
map , don't have too much trouble with any of them.
The mud terrain makes a pretty good Mars, except for all the pig
temples
and ruins. By the way, I used one army picture from Mark Pitcavage's
wonderful Jurasic Park scenario, and a couple from Mike Salt's incredibly
politically uncorrect Babewar scenario.
I also made up several hundred hero names, which is not much fun, and
all new magic items and monsters, plus new army and city sets. The city
set isn't much, but decent enough. The army set is kind of strange.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think, and try making
your own scenarios!

N.B.
Just as I was going to upload this to Compuserve, I happened to notice
another Mars scenario. Oops! Luckily, I had used different names for
everything but
the city set, so I only had to change the city name from mars to ares.
