Impossible Creatures: Game plan.

1. Recruit members. Mal, Toast, maybe Krank. Perhaps Sean. Mono if she can get bootcamp to work.

2. Download time.
Software required:
	Logmein Hamachi. Free.
		https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx
	Daemon Tools Lite / similar software:
		http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon
	Impossible Creatures Discs. Mount these ISO's with Daemon Tools.
		Download from Sean's server. No password.
		ftp://[email protected]/Public/IC.iso
		ftp://[email protected]/IC2.iso
	Impossible Creatures updates and mod packs: (Creature Chaos and Creature Spirits, 3rd party mods, are barred for now)
		http://www.microsoft.com/games/impossiblecreatures/downloads.aspx

3. Install time.
	Mount the ISO for the discs with Daemon Tools Lite.

	Run the game to see if it works. If not, use compatibility mode. Use the desktop shortcut to do this.

	You may want to run it in a window, as well. You might not be able to move said window around, though.

	Install update first and then mod packs. You will probably have to run the updates as an admin in compatibility mode. For the patch, you may need to troubleshoot compatibility and then run it.

2. Tutorial time.

3. Decide map as a group.

4. 40 minutes of prep time to:
	-Scout map.
	-Build army. All armies MUST be built from scratch, specific to this map.
	-Test against AI if you have time.

5. Let the games begin.


TIPS:
1. SCOUT THE MAP. REALLY DO IT.
2. Do not make unnecessary creatures. Having land-only creatures is awful in an island map. Having amphibious creatures in a desert map is idiotic. Having flying creatures is... I'll let you figure that one out.
3. Make dummy armies to scout the map first. Give your opponent weak, expensive units, and make some high-power scout creatures for yourself. Don't worry about winning the game. Get in, memorize/jot down key features, get out.
4. Have some kind of strategy.
