FALLEN HAVEN DEMO v1.0 README
Interactive Magic 10/1/96
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains the latest information available about the
Fallen Haven demo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This demo is designed to give you a feel for some of Fallen Haven's
gameplay. It will allow you to fight battles in a limited scenario.
The full game has multiple scenarios, each much larger than the demo.
You can also build and utilize many more unit types in the full game,
as well as research new technological advances and build new
structures.
HISTORY OF FALLEN HAVEN
The planet New Haven was supposed to be a paradise, an idyllic,
peaceful new home for colonists from Old Earth. But that was before
the wars broke out, before the provinces turned on one another ...
and before the aliens arrived ...
Unwittingly, Earth scientists awoke the sleepng giant of the Tauran
war machine. The same deep-space probes that first discovered the
planet of New Haven also alerted the aliens. Now the Taurans, warlike
aliens previously unknown to humankind, have mounted an invasion,
descending upon New Haven with one goal: total conquest
INSTALLATION & SETUP
To install the Fallen Haven demo, launch the program 'setup.exe'.
Note: The small Fallen Haven demo (via Web) should be about 12Mbs, and
the large Fallen Haven demo (via CD) should be about 25Mbs.

against the enemy.

TIPS & STRATEGIES
Do not leave any province undefended. The constant threat of orbital
attacks means that all provinces must be protected.
Be careful with your dropships - in the demo you cannot build
additional ones. Keep them out of harms way! In the demo, you cannot
repair damaged dropship nor build new ones.
Plan your attacks so that you make your first shots count.
SYSTEM DRIVERS
There are several system files that need to be installed in order to
play Fallen Haven correctly. If your system does not have these files
already available, they will be installed and registered during the
'Fallen Haven Setup' process. Depending on which files are required
you may be asked to reboot your computer at the end of the
installation. This is a normal operational requirement of Windows 95
and ensures your system's full functionality with Fallen Haven.
