<h2>Troubleshooting Tips</h2>
|
|
<p><b>New player or having problems?</b></p>
|
|
<p>The Scenario Editor seems pretty tricky to use at first, but in the long run it's actually not that hard to use. However, you won't be able to use it at all without these documentation. To get started, be sure to use the chapter Scenario Building - A Step By Step Guide. It gives a very simple, detailed set of instructions for writing a simple scenario. Using this, you'll be designing in no time!</p>
|
|
<h2>Scenario Design Contest</h2>
|
|
<p>When the game first launched, Spiderweb Software threw a contest to see who could create the best scenario. This contest had $1000 cash and piles of products as prizes. The results of the contest can be viewed on <a href="https://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/misc/contest_results.html">Spiderweb's site</a>.</p>
