THE MODPACK

Star Trek: Generations (STG) is a modpack. This is the most important aspect to remember about STG. In fact, it was originally designed to be only a modpack, but numerous innovations and the availability of Star Trek graphics and sounds made 5 scenario options possible with this mod. Secondly, this work was designed out of frustrations that arose from my previous modpacks. I wanted more outerspace action. As a result, I designed the OUTERSPACE! modpack. Satisfied that the outerspace modpack was a true representation of space, I pursued the challenge of making the ultimate Star Trek modpack.  In addition, I took the liberty of including this handy README file in HTML. It seems to serve much better than a .txt file and I think it is easy to use.

THE SCENARIOS

There are 5 scenarios that are included in this modpack. The scenarios are: THE EARLY FEDERATION, THE WRATH OF KHAN, WOLF-359, MIRROR-MIRROR, and THE RETURN HOME. Each scenario is listed in order of their respective  Star Trek era: TOS, TMP, TNG, DS9 AND VOYAGER. A description of each scenario in the help section of this manual which is also a brief strategy guide.

THE CONCEPT

It is my hope that other scenario authors will attempt this same thing in other modpacks. Be forewarned, however, that this is a tremendous undertaking and I would expect that you would spend up to a year easily on this kind of project. Also, I am very interested in keeping new scenarios playable by Classic Civ II players. Over the years, it has come to my attention that not all versions of Civilization II are available everywhere at anytime, EVEN ON THE INTERNET! So I encourage modpack authors to continue writing mods for Civ II because there really are a number of people who would love to play them (just include a start scenario for users of CiC and higher).
