LotusCraft - SecondSeason! - Setup/Gameplay Guide

1. Download and extract LotusCraft - SecondSeason!.
2. Run _setup/LCSS_Setup.bat as administrator, then restart your computer when prompted.
3. Read the section under White Faction in _resources/LotusCraft - SecondSeason! - English Guide.doc for a basic overview of the game.
4. Run AutoHotkey.exe to enable WASD map scrolling, as well as other useful functions (does not open a window, only in the systray in the background). Press ` (above Tab on most keyboards) to toggle AutoHotkey on (H) and off (S).

When done, run thrts-eng.exe to play the game with partial English patch by @anfilt#4673 - the serial key for registration can be found in _LotusCraft Serial Key.txt. From left to right, top to bottom, the main menu reads:

Before playing multiplayer, please finish the campaign on Hard difficulty to adequately learn the game (the difficulty reverts back to Easy after every game restart - remember to choose Hard difficulty everytime!), then choose a faction to main. Good luck and have fun!
