COLONY v1.3 README
------------------

Hi. No time for introductions - your mission must start as soon as possible.

You and a large crew have become part of the pioneering mission to start the first colony on a planet out Earth's solar system. When you landed on the planet you observed strange tree-like structures with bird-like animals on them.  Shortly after you set up base, you send a group to investigate these anomolies. The small group never returns - and you soon see why! The birds are actually robots and start attacking your base! The only relief is that they return to the trees after a short time and wait a while before returning.  This is the only behaviour pattern you notice, but it is the key to their destruction.  Hurry... your colony may not last long!!!


You take control from just after touchdown, before the first attack.  You have a generator running and you must build up your base around it.  The game is controlled by the mouse, and you select tanks, icons and menus with the left button.  The right button deselects a building and orders tanks around.  There are so few buildings, you'll figure out what they do. (HINT: Houses and generators are essential!!!)

Have fun... and expect more soon.
