Installation
Minions of Destruction requires UT version 4.13 to play.
Download the MoDBetav1.zip from the Files page. Once downloaded, open the zip file up or unzip the MoDGame.umod file. Then simply double-click on the MoDGame.umod to install Minions of Destruction.
Alternatively, for those of you who either dislike umod files or simply can not get them to work on your computer, then try downloading the MoDBetav1NoUmod.zip file from the Files page and installing the game manually.

Other Mutators
This game has not been rigoursly tested, as of yet, with mutators, including the standard Unreal Tournament mutators. Due to the complex nature of the game and that it really includes many mutators inside of it already, Minions of Destruction frankly works best WITHOUT other mutators. However, certain mutators such as SpawnGuards, etc. you might find useful. Mutators such as Inflitrator [which is an awesome mutator(s)], Cosmic, Dark Magic, etc. generally go against the feel and spirit of Minions of Destruction and should not be used. Check out the online Mutators List for the latest updated listing.

Bots
Bots. Bots. And more Bots. The bots in Minions of Destruction know the basic rules and will try and act accordingly. However, they do not quite understand all the ins and outs of the various scoring systems in the game. Its the multiple scoring system that presents the biggest problem with having the bots understand and fully exploit the rules. Hopefully as future version of Minions of Destruction are made available, the bots will get better at the various modes of play.
