Version 1.0:
------------
Colonial Conquest II v1.1 is a complex space strategy game which
contains elements of the Microprose game CIVILIZATION and common
space strategy games.
Every player has a populated planet with some installations on it
from which he has to spread over the known universe by building
different space ships (colony ships, war ships, troop transportes,
exploration ships...) and making advance in technology. The higher
the technology level, the more new and sophisticated objects the
civilization can build.

This is a sequel to Colonial Conquest I. Many bugs have
been removed and hundreds of details changed. The major new
points however are:

- Intelligent computer opponent that makes the game challenging
even when playing alone.
- Alien life forms to be discovered on new planets (50 lifeforms!)
- Ground combats & military.
- Espionage with spy satellites.
- Lots of new objects and space ships.
- Title music, more graphics.
- Background story, Empire points. Now, two player do not necessarly
have to destroy eachother. They can also play until one of them has
gathered enough Empire points to win the game.

The game has nice graphics and a mouse driven interface. A
very long manual will explain everything that may be unclear.
This manual is now also included in a German version.

Colonial Conquest II remains giftware which means that you are
not (morally) forced to pay the author.

Have fun and email me about the game!
