Copyright Note:
This program is my copyrighted work and I expressly forbid the sale of this game by anyone (other than me). I also forbid its inclusion on any compilation of programs or other distribution of software for sale without my express written consent. The same goes for my major league baseball telecasts.

The demo version of the game will only allow you to play for 15 turns - you can still play complete games by setting lower victory conditions, but you will be missing out on a lot of great research, weapon upgrades, ship improvements, strategic options and more. The full, registered version of the game is available from the website: http://4000ad.com

After getting the full version, any future updates, improvements or changes will be available free of charge, and will be available on the website.
