                             PLEASE NOTE!!!!!                       
                                                                    
     This is not a synopsis of the game you just downloaded!  This  
   file is meant to give you an idea of what this game WILL become  
   after I finish programming it.  This text file is primarily for  
   the benefit of those who aren't familiar with the 8-bit program  
   M.U.L.E., on which Dromedary will be based....                   
                                                                    q


 Up to four players compete to make the most money and ensure the
success of the colony in the choosen amount of time.  Acres of land
are distributed, bought, and sold.  Each acre of land can be
developed by the players.  They can farm, collect energy, or mine for
Dromedary ore or Krysl, a rare mineral.
 This development is possible throught the use of Dromes.  The Dromes
are outfitted for various tasks and taken out to the acres.
 A player's turn consists of many options.  The player can buy a
Drome, outfit it for a task, and take it to their acre.  They can
hunt skivits (the game you're playing).  They can give other tasks to
pre-bought Dromes.  They can sell land.  They can asses land for
value (is there Krysl there). Finally, they can gamble for extra cash.
 After each player has had their turn. production begins and each acre
produces an amount of food, energy, ore, ect.  This 'production' phase
spans a month.
 Then comes 'Auction Day'.  Each 'produce' is auctioned off.  Each
player usually is strong in one commodity and weak in others.  Players
can sell excess commodities and buy ones they need, either from other
players or the settlement.
  Then comes a summary screen, showing how things are going for each
player and the colony as a whole.  The player making the most money
in the amount of time is declared the Grand Poohbah!
