Dear Mr. Emery,

I now rate your magazine higher than PC Gamer (which was so promising) and am becoming more impressed with the quality of material on your CD cover disk. Anyway enough of the praise. I have some items which you can include on your cover disk. These are scenarios for use in the Warcraft 2 game. There are four scenarios in all, two of the scenarios are strategy orientated, the other two being more adventure in nature.

How did these come about?... Computer generated intelligence has always intrigued me but until now game playing has not come with good scenario designers and challenging AI's (artificial intelligences), not withstanding the occasional good level design on the likes of Doom.

Anyway along comes the Warcraft 2 product, and I dropped my Middle Earth map project in Master of Magic immediately; a pity because one of the multi media experts at Time Computers trashed the file along with the rest of my hard disk which of course is another tale.

My thought in designing these scenarios was on giving experienced Warcraft 2 players a good stiff challenge. As they are set in the closing stages of the first human-orcs war the player could encounter anachronistic technology not available until the Warcraft 2 campaign, oops!

The other two scenarios (the quest ones) are more accessible, ie instant hack and slay with puzzles along the way. They were not designed by me and are there as a counterpoint to my strategy based offerings.

As time permits, I will develop the story line and provide additional scenarios. If you have any comments or feedback please do not hesitate to contact me.

The files listed below are provided free of charge and I only ask that on distribution the scenario files are accompanied by the appropriate unaltered .txt files.

Naturally I will not be offended if you are unable to use any of this material.

Yours sincerely,
