1.Installation This scenario requires the add-on Fantastic Worlds. Installation should be no big deal, but here are the instructions: Make a new folder under the Scenarios folder. Call it "Cross" (or so) and put all the files in it except those with extension .wav (the sounds), which should be put in a sub-folder called "sound" inside the "Cross" folder. 1.1 Scenario Setup CROSS&CRESCENT uses multiple events files, therefore the right events.txt must be created before you start the scenario. Also, in certain intervals (turns) in the game you receive a message that you have to change the events files. Such operations can be done automatically via the included DOS batchfiles. There are three special batchfiles for every playable civ, called SetupGer, SetupFrk and SetupEng. So, please decide what civ you will play, then run the proper batchfile for your choice. Here is an example: Let´s say you want to play as the Germans, then start the file SetupGer. A DOS box with several options appears, please choose the option "1" to generate the correct events file. Now you can close the DOS box and start the scenario as Germans by double-clicking on "crosseng.SCN". If you receive a message in the game that asks for a change of the events, save the game and run SetupGer again, but choose the options "2" or "3" now (depends on the year of your savegame) to change the events. Those messages appear in 1066 AD (option 2) and in 1187 AD (option 3). The batchfiles will execute the Delevent.exe automatically on the savegame, as long as you have not changed the leader names in the beginning. In case you use personalized leader names you have to drag the savegame manually on the file Delevent.exe which is in your scenario folder. Please, make sure that you do not forget this, because it is essential for a successful change of the eventsfiles.After that reload the savegame to continue with the scenario. If you want to play as another civ, run SetupFrk (for the Franks) or SetupEng (for the English), the usage is the same. All batch files allow you also to install the proper pedia file for your version (FW or MGE).
