Creation Date: 7-96
Player:        Nod
Map:           Med.-Large (45x60), Temperate Theater
Requires:      Command & Conquer, Covert Operations
Tested On:     486DX2/66   Patch v1.19
Difficulty:    Challenging
Filename:      SEIZURE.ZIP
File Contents: SCB51EA.INI, SCB51EA.BIN, SEIZURE.TXT

Installation:
    Unzip the ZIP file then copy the INI and BIN file to your C&C directory,
       and just start up the game, and if you have Covert Operations, the
       mission should appear in the NEW MISSIONS menu. Alternatively, you
       can replace files using MIXMAN which is described at several places
       if you do not have Covert Operations. Note: A savegame was not
       included to save upload/download time and because that would cause
       you to miss out on the opening cutscenes.

Mission Description:
    To continue our effort for the true freedom of mankind, we need
       additional funds to support our war machines. GDI has a Tiberium
       refining center here where they have been stockpiling Tiberium
       and liquid credits. You are to establish a base, then destroy
       their refining center and pillage their storehouses. Do not
       return until you have at least 25,000 spendable credits. In
       the northwest, a crate of flares was air-dropped. When you need,
       you may use these to call in some additonal reinforcements.

Level Description:
    When you come into the area to build your base, GDI is not yet aware
       of your presence and won't realize it themselves until some A-10s
       about 30 min. into the game do a flyby. In the meantime, DON'T
       advertise your presence until you've already been found out anyway.
       If you do let them know your presence very early, you'll be
       overwhelmed very quickly. By advertising your presence, that includes
       even going around their base with a Stealth Tank. They won't see the
       Steath Tank, but they can see the trails it leaves behind so they
       know that you're in the area. What else advertising means I'll let
       you find out for yourself. In this mission, GDI has two Weapons
       Factories and two Barracks, so as soon as you advertise yourself
       or are found by A-10s, there'll be a non-stop flow from the GDI
       base. So MAKE SURE you don't advertise yourself before neccesary
       and in the first 30 min. or so, build as fast as you can concen-
       trating on building defenses at the river crossings. If you don't
       take my advice, the Challenging difficulty level of this mission
       changes to somewhere near impossible.

Known Bugs:
    A couple times I mention you need 25,000 LIQUID or SPENDABLE credits in
       order to complete the mission. The problem was that apparently the
       computer seems to only count money that you get out of money crates
       or from selling things, NOT the credits represented by Tiberium in
       your silos.

Thanks to:
    Andrew Griffin and Vladan Blato for the software they both created and
       for being nice enough to answer the editing questions I posted.
    Han Brunger for a useful INI editing manual.
    Jeroen Ritmeijer and Richard Heesbeen for the really cool CCMAP.
