Dear user,

please make youself familiar with VASSAL before opening the game module. In particular, please read the HTML documentation enclosed in the module package (begin with the page index.html, it is also available online at http://flyhi.de/vassal/advancedciv/VassalHelpfiles/index.html). That manual explains how to use the module and it also has links to the VASSAL user documentation in case you are not yet familiar with the VASSAL software.

Note: The HTML documentation enclosed in this package should also be available from inside the module (Help menu).

When you open the module for the very first time, you will be prompted for a user name and password. This password will be used to identify you in the game; it must be unique, i. e. different from all other players' passwords. Choose wisely and do not use passwords that other users will likel choose! If you feel you need a different username or password, you can change them in the module's Preferences/ Personal window.

Please see also the log files that are available for download. They demonstrate the key mechanisms of the module:
- 01-advciv-setup.vlog
- 02-advciv-start_to_play.vlog
- 03-advciv-trade_and_civ_advances.vlog
They are meant to be replayed one after the other in the order given.
