Round C Scenario ReadMe Information  15-July-1998
=========================================================

The mighty gods of war were getting bored.  
The lands they had already created - and fought 
over - were organized and full of abundance,
making for good battles, but there was something missing.

They summoned their scenario wizards and said unto them:
it is time for randomness, chaos, and scarcity!
We have seen how these Warlords can fight when every 
creature under the sun is in someone's army, and when 
every scrap
of ground has been engineered for war.  But there is
a final test we must prepare for these valiant Warlords:  
we must see how they do when the very earth is in chaos,
the ground unpredictable, and their units few and weak.
Only in these harshest conditions for war shall we
find those who are The Greatest at leading their
forces through desperate trials and on to creative
and glorious victories!

So it was decreed, and so it was done.  In the spirited
hands of the Scenario Wizard known only as Iceman, 
a random scenario took shape.  Useless lands were 
drowned with floods, forcing the final battles to be
played out in a confined, high-stakes region.
Roads, bridges, and ports were added, deleted, and
rearranged.  The very earth was moved to make room for
all the ruins and cities.  And in the end, Aerolandia
had taken shape.  With a final, mighty effort, Aerolandia
was converted from Mac-Classic to Mac-Deluxe, and then
to PC-Deluxe.  At last, War was available!

The mighty gods of war were impressed.  Yet the work
was not yet complete.  Another Scenario Wizard, the
renowned Bazza, the Lord Amaranth, brought the tools 
of his craft to bear upon the mighty challenge.
Like a painter adding the final brushstrokes that make a
great canvas into a true masterpiece, the finishing touches
were added slowly, as feedback and rules ideas poured in
from the mortals who had been foolish enough to stumble
across the world as playtesters.

In the end, all were satisfied.  It would be a tremendous war!

And the gods decreed that the land should be populated by the
diverse Warlords of the Tournament, each leading their own
unique tribe onwards in its own unique style.  Let the chaos
of the lands lead to chaotic and valiant struggles, and may
the stories of these wars be among the greatest tales ever told!

And so it falls to you, Warlord, to wrest victory from the
bone-rending jaws of your fierce and ferocious foes.
Are you ready for the struggle?
