  |       other civilizations, each great      |
  |     house is now preparing to enter the    |
  |    wormholes apparent in their planetary   |
  | systems.  A new world of fire and ice      |
  | awaits them in this colonization of the    |
  | new world-style scenario.  Just as in the  |
  | age of sail, each empire must find the     |
  | means, the technology, and the will to go  |
  | out, find new worlds to explore and        |
  | conquer, and exploit the resources that    |
  | new colonies have to offer.  At the same   |
  | time, other houses will be competing and   |
  | vying for these worlds.  Time is against   |
  | you, as it always has been.                |

This map is designed for both solo play and multiplayer.
Players are given some time to develop themselves before
wormhole technology is discovered, which, considering
the problems with light frigate spam early on, may be a 
breath of fresh air for some multi-players.

To install:  Extract "Four Houses - Fire and Ice.galaxy"
to your /Sins of a Solar Empire/Galaxy directory.

I hope you enjoy the map!  Any feedback and ratings
are appreciated on the Stardock custom content
manager.
