This mod removes the glare effect on the minimap.
For Dread Lord's ONLY!
There is a separate mod for Dark Avatar.

Rename this file with a .dxpack extension and copy (overwriting the original) into:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Screens
(or to whatever location you installed GalCiv2 to)

You should first copy the original MainWnd.dxpack file to another location as a backup, in case you want to go back to the original.

This is a scenario and map with 5 stars, 1 planet each.
You are the custom player.

Your opponents:
Drengin
Human
Torian
Iconian

You hold the center position, and all the planets are class 26.
There are no resources to be found, only anomolies.
The map is 5x5.
Starting funds - 20,000bc

I wasn't sure what to put in for the mod version info. I am on 1.1B4 currently, but I don't know if it makes a difference with just a scenario and map file.

And sorry, I forgot to put a readme file in with it.
Copy the map file to your C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Data\CustomMaps folder.
Copy the scenario file to your C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Data\English\Scenarios folder.
Then select the 5 Way 1 Planet Each map in the Custom Map list, and the matching scenario, as you are starting a new game.
