Version / Update Info:-----------------------------------------------
Version 1:  Original ISLES.SCZ (Crystal Isles) created in 1995. 
Version 2:  Isles3D.ZIP (Crystal Isles 3D) released August, 1998.
-Added background story and legends due to requests.
-Created new shield set compatible with standard color scheme, based on "3-D 
Gemstone" images for banners, report, map and history elements, and named 
"Crystal Isles 3D Shields".
-Added "razed city" images and added "fortified" images to city set, renamed as 
"Crystal Isles 3D Cities".
-Altered strategy map to more resemble a map, with names of bodies of water, a 
compass rose, and made "Frozen Wastes" look more "arctic".
-Added new 3-D gemstone (green/red) Army movement elements, flags and Item 
markers, renamed as "Crystal Isles 3D Armies".  Increased strength of certain 
armies (Catkind->forest strength, lizardmen->hill strength, alchemist->city 
strength, wizard->cancel non-hero stack protection).
-Added signposts to Scenario.  "Mountainized" one city in Mitakka (Verdicaelum) 
to balance playability (see reviewer's comments for version 1.0). Renamed 
scenario to "Crystal Isles 3D".
