This Appendix is intended to offer advice on creating performance-friendly scenarios. Consider the variety of different computer systems out there. What kind of system might a potential player of your scenario have: top of the line or barely reaching the minimum system requirements? It is always safer to assume the latter and tailor your scenario appropriately so that it should run well on any system. Keep the following guidelines in mind and try, whenever possible, to test your scenarios on more than one computer, especially if you intend to release your creation to the world. A little forethought and careful design can prevent possible performance problems for players with slower computers, who you want to enjoy your scenarios just as much as players with cutting edge systems.
