"MARS" Scenario
( converted and expanded from "Fantastic Worlds" )
-> V1.11 - September 2000
=The Situation=
Five governments established bases on Mars. Working together,
they managed to
convert large portions of the Martian polar ice caps into a
useable water supply,
beginning the process of Terraforming MARS into a human friendly
world.

Just as they were poised to begin the next step, something went
wrong back home.
Communications ceased without warning; even navigational
telemetry from the Mars
orbiters stopped. Assuming the worst--a major war, the end of
civilization, or
both--the colonists succumbed to irrationality. Contact between
the five bases
was cut off, and attitudes have grown cold.
Dissident humans who believe that communications were cut off
intentionally have
revolted and set up their own base. They refer to themselves as
"Martians".
Yet other unconnected factions of anarchists roam the hostile
Martian terrain.
As leader of one of the bases, you have a choice. You can seek to
conquer your
neighbors and unify Mars by force, or you can strive to regain
contact with
(and recolonize) Earth and find
out what happened.

To do so you will need to reseach into a range of technologies
that enable your faction to survive and prosper on Mars.
The bulk ofthe files
required to run my converted MARS Scenario for ToT is available
at
- the Cradle of
Civilization section : http://coc.apolyton.net/
at the Apolyton web-site
, in the Scenarios section.
However there appear to be a couple of files missing from that
collection.
Here they are

Download the scenario from Apolyton, then load these files over the top.
