** Notes
************************************************************
-- The limit to the directory structure you can install the
game to is 200 characters.
-- HTML Documentation for Sid Meier's Antietam can be
located in the Documentation sub-folder. This folder
is located in whatever directory you installed Sid
Meier's Antietam to (default: C:\Program Files\Firaxis
Games\Sid Meier's Civil War Collection\SMA).
-- Gettysburg is not compatible with Antietam and South
Mountain in multiplayer games.
-- Savegames from Gettysburg are not compatible with Antietam
or South Mountain. Likewise, Antietam and South Mountain
savegames are not compatible with Gettysburg.
-- Running multiple instances of any of these games can cause
general instability. Run only one game at a time.
-- Using ALT-F4 to exit the game can cause problems if a
popup dialogue box is open.
-- Multiplayer for any of these games is contingent upon
connection quality. If you are experiencing difficulty
playing larger games, reduce the number of players. 4
player games work under all but the most unstable
internet/network conditions.
-- It's recommended that you disable your screen saver
prior to playing the Civil War Collection.
-- If you have difficulty in viewing any of the Gettysburg
movies, install the Indeo video drivers found on the CD
in the \Indeo folder. Double left-click on the ivi_nt95(1).exe
file to begin installation.

Sid Meier's Gettysburg! Read Me
Version 1.0
This file contains late-breaking news on Sid Meier's Gettysburg!...all
the things you need to know that didn't make it into the manual.
Install Guide Errata:
-------------------* You are no longer required to select a language when installing.
* You now have the option to bypass DirectX install during setup (you
will be asked if you want to install DirectX 5 after installing the
game. Note that you need DirectX version 5.0 or later to run
the game).
* The install guide says to click READY when you are ready to begin a
multiplayer game; actually you click NOT READY and it changes to
READY.
* There is an extra choice in Custom Install: you can now choose to
install Additional Art to the hard drive (basically the pictures
that introduce each scenario).
Manual Errata:
------------* --NEW FEATURE!-- At the lowest level of difficulty, when the
currently selected unit is not visible onscreen the words
'Click Here' will appear in the map compass; clicking the
compass will return the map to the selected unit.
* --NEW FEATURE!-- Clicking the unit info at the bottom of
the screen will call up the Order of Battle screen;
clicking the Scenario Clock will call up the Scenario
Status screen, and pressing the F9 key will call up the
Preferences menu.
* --NEW FEATURE!-- There is a now a Hall of Valor that stores the
seven highest scores achieved in a full battle. It is
accessible through the Reports menu.
* --NEW FEATURE!-- Whenever you quit, the current game is
automatically saved as quit.sav. Whenever you end a scenario,
the current game is saved as end.sav. Every 15 game minutes,
the current game is saved as autosave.sav.
* --NEW SCENARIOS!-- There are four new scenarios not mentioned in the
manual: Meade Reacts: Bricker Farm; The First Day: Meeting
Engagement; The Second Day: Echelon Attack!; and Stonewall
Jackson: Alternate Gettysburg. The First and Second day scenarios
are especially designed for multiplayer.
* --NEW PREFERENCE!-- There is now a Fewer/More Units in Scenario
preference that determines how many units are present in each
scenario.
* --NEW PREFERENCE!-- There is now a preference that allows you to
adjust the sound volume, from Off to Very Loud.
* --NEW FEATURES!-- There are some features detailed on the last
page of the Install Guide...don't miss them!
* Cavalry will not accumulate battle stress when moving in Skirmish
formation.
* You can now save your game from the End of Scenario screen
(except in the first scenario when the Save Game button is replaced
by a Tutorial button). The Quit button referred to in the manual
is now a Return to Main Menu button.
* The Drill on the Parade Ground tutorial is now called Drilling on
the Field.
* Golden Opportunity: Will's Woods starts at 1:30 p.m., not 1:00 p.m.
as the manual states.
* Sickle's Folly: The Peach Orchard starts at 5:30 p.m., not 5:00 p.m.
as the manual states.
* Turning Point: The Devil's Den is now called Turning Point: Little
Round Top.
Ref Card Errata:
--------------* Clarification: When replacing a default game view with a custom
view, pressing Shift-F2 replaces the Find Fighting view, pressing
Shift-F3 replaces the Find Largest Objective view, and pressing
Shift-F4 replaces the Find Last Important Point view.
* When a report comes in you will hear 'Reporting, General!', not
'Reporting Sir!'
Notes on using Voice over Data (voice chat)
in Multiplayer Gettysburg:
------------------------You must have the GSM610 audio codec installed for voice over data to
work. Verify this by opening Control Panel\Multimedia\Devices\Audio
Compression Codecs, where the Microsoft GSM 6.10 Audio CODEC
should be listed, and double-click the codec to verify that it has
been enabled.
If transmitted sound is too soft, raise the microphone level from
the Windows Volume control panel. Do this by double clicking the
speaker icon on the task bar. If you don't have a speaker icon
choose Start\Programs\Accessories\Multimedia\Volume Control.
Once the Volume Control panel is open pull down the Options menu
and click on Properties. In the "Adjust Volume For" group select
Recording and click OK. Now your mixer panel will show a microphone
slider which you can adjust accordingly.
The sound driver will use any memory installed on the sound card
which will help game performance. It works best with a 16-bit sound
card although it will work with an 8-bit sound card. Be sure the
correct sound device is selected in the Control Panel\Multimedia\
Playback\Preferred Device list box. Use the native device from
the manufacturer of your sound card; for example, if you have a
Sound Blaster 16, choose the device of that name as your Preferred
Device. There is no need to try a Game Compatible Sound Device
(if you have one) unless you are having sound problems.
See the Install Guide for basic info on voice chat.
