RED LIGHTNING VISUAL UPGRADE 1.1
--------------------------------
by PixelWings


This is a complete graphical overhaul of the classic SSI 
operational level wargame "Red Lightning" by Norm Koger.

It features the full game installed and comes with a custom 
launcher that lets you choose between new custom icons and 
new NATO symbols, as well as new red or green interface skins. 
I have also included an option to restore the graphics to the 
program default look. This means you can mix and match as you 
wish. The mod also features new custom created map graphics,
inclusion of the splash screen from the Amiga release, plus 
improved and more realistic text messages in-game.

You can also view all game documentation using the launcher.


Version 1.1 Changes:

- All unit icons and NATO symbols are redrawn and improved.
- Updated all the rough terrain tiles.
- New city tiles are drawn, for consistency.
- Brighter UI map arrow legend.

These changes should benefit the look and readability of
the game graphics.


Installation:
-------------

Extract the "RED" folder from the zip onto your DOS "C:" drive.
Run the launcher with "RED.BAT" in "C:\RED\".

To bypass the launcher, run the game using "START.BAT" in the
subfolder "C:\RED\RL\". You can use "RL.EXE" as well, but then
you won't see the restored intro splash screen.


Enjoy the mod!
