=THE WHOLE STORY=
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).
