***********************DIXIE  a mod for TCM2*****************

                                                README FILE----------PEASE READ

INSTALL:

IT is best to do a new install of tcm2---HOWEVER if you do not want to--THEN BACK UP YOUR DATA FILE AND SOUNDS FILE-----
that way you can replace them back to your original game if you don’t like it-----------Thanks.

Just activate the installer and install to your TCM2 directory---wherever that may be

You will find a folder called "SCALES MOD" inside your directory----this is optional--The mod comes with NORMAL sprites 
already in place.
IF you want larger sprites and terrain then simply
Remove the SPRITEScsv from the Data folder and put it in the normal folder in Scales mod
Select the scales you want i.e. 10% or 20% and drop it into the data folder---That’s it done!!


Game play**************

Following on from the Lo-res mods--we have taken the idea and execution a little further for this mod
Lo-res and Hi res are available

PLEASE always PLAY with the Setting HI-RES FLAGS ON
other settings are up to you

There are new formations available to the troops
They will automatically take up these formations in various situations or troop type
They consist of
2, 3, 4 ranks Column
Close order Fire line
80 man company Fire line
60 man company Fire line
Extended fire line
Automated skirmishers (These require no player input--they will operate best if left alone--they have their own 
routines and formations and their own ai---they are designated as Detached or independent skirms)

Also new formation for brigade
Assault lines-----troops will form up in three ranks ready to assault the enemy--troops in this formation are more 
likely to charge the enemy---if on ai---still more likely or may adopt another formation--all depends on general

Tighter gun batteries---also act slightly different now
Tighter cav formations---also act slightly different now

New sounds
These are attached to regts and brigades----they will change with the situation-----they also mean that battles are 
MUCH noisier--you will hear the individual regts shout their commands--It provides an excellent battle ambience and 
a real sound of the chaos of war. They are not overpowering--Just noisy
like a real battle would be.


Two new OOBs (For use with this Mod)

There have been many data changes--too many to list here--the player will discover something new when he plays the 
game on different maps and with different formations.

We hope you like it---it wont be everyone’s cup of tea--We expect that!-----I mod for a fun game based on a acw 
theme--if you played the LoRes mods then you know what I mean and what to expect plus more

This is stage 1 of Dixie

IF it proves popular AND THERE IS FEEDBACK-----good or bad
Then I will proceed to STAGE2

Stage 2 WILL include
New Sprites
New Flags
New Formations
New OOB for wilderness campaign
Entrenchments for Infantry
New scale 15mm (larger units)
And some "Other" surprises

However like I said only if it proves popular and there is a demand for it---otherwise I can continue on my commitments 
with other projects

We hope you enjoy it---it was developed for enjoyment---and would not have been possible without the continued support 
of ADAM and NORB and the Mad Minute team--who continually amaze me with their unfaltering and dedicated support for 
their game---and patience---I know of no other forum where the designers actually contribute so much to their 
forums!!!--My hat is off to you Guys!!! Much respect!!

My thanks to Cleaburn who tested the mod
And to Stonewall Jackson who put up with my "Non stop" requests for the internal checking and testing of data

And my Thanks to the Skunkworks team who provided encouragement and support whilst making this mod and many others 
that are to follow!

Enjoy the Mod folks--That is what it’s for----Just to enjoy

Any questions or probs--please contact us via MMG forum "Dixie" thread

Thank you
With regards
Greyman and Stonewall Jackson
