NOTES:

• For human players connecting over the network, they only need to install the AiMapper using the above link provided from David Norman.
• Installing Jason van Hal's DAIDE QuickStart package using the above link is the same thing as installing the above AiServer, AiMapper, and Albert packages together. If you read Jason's How to Play (https://sites.google.com/site/diplomacyai/home/how-to-play), please ignore his Installation Option 1 and Installation Option 2, as there is no need to install the same software twice.
• The above directory structure is the default structure created when you install the DAIDE QuickStart package, except for holdbot\ which provides the civil disorder functionality. Please ensure you install HoldBot separately using the above link provided from David Norman if you are not using a pre-bundled ScriptTiger package.
• In order for the saving and loading of games to work correctly, you must ensure you are using a user account which has write access to the above directory structure.
