Last Update: Jan 29/04

This FAQ is a simple little thing thrown together to help those who are trying
to earn all 50 medals in Culdcept (arguably one of the greatest games ever
created).
I'd like to that my friends Grant, Mike, Shaun and John for their assistance in
testing these methods. As well as ExMortis, armadi and Ben Ra for finding other
methods to earn medals.

*******************************************************************************
BASIC INFO
*******************************************************************************

All medals can be earned in Story mode, or in Versus mode against Story
characters only (custom AI characters don't count)
Most medals cannot be earned with teammates.
