Stefan Härtel · July 26, 2001, 11:02

Sons of Heracles version 1.2 can be downloaded either at the Spanish Civ II Site or at Bernd Brosings site. The sounds can also be downloaded at Bernd's site. In case something doesen't work, you can download the scenario files at:
http://www.geocities.com/intaphernes/SoH12.zip
The sounds can be downloaded at:
http://www.geocities.com/intaphernes/SoHSound1.zip

(In case you're wondering, yes this is my new geocities account)

stefan, can't download it from Yahoo Geocities.

BTW a question: how to contact them in order to build an extra site? ( you know, megabites are slowly vanishing from my big one...

)

Juggler · July 26, 2001, 13:20

that's great coz I'm currently playing Sons of Heracles

BeBro · July 26, 2001, 13:22

Prometeus, simply visit their homepage , on the left side are links (for example a free tour) to sign up. I can´t say if they are the best choice, perhaps there are better offers...

Jay Bee · July 26, 2001, 17:53

I'm with BeBro on that one, Prom. There are hosts better than Geo s h i tties. The Spanish Civ Site was housed there before moving to Apolyton (ah... the old times...

).

Stefan, I'll try to upload the sounds asap. Am I missing any of your scenarios? If so let me know, pleez.

Stefan Härtel · July 26, 2001, 18:15

You should be able to download it now from the geocities account.

Jay Bee: If you're asking so directly, I would say the only one you're missing right now that I personally think is good enough right now is "Pharaoh". You can find it somewhere on Alex' War Gallery, or I can send it to you.
Other than that... well, you know the rest, I think.
Apart from that, there is one project I'm intensively working right now. I have just finished the rules, city placement and some of the graphics files. If everything works correctly, you can see the units file somewhere below or so (? I'm doing this for the first time). Can anyone guess?

(Edit: Remark: The unit on the upper right corner is also mine, I just forgot to put my signature on it. I think it should be fairly easy to guess...)

Jay Bee · July 26, 2001, 18:36

Please do.

Alejandro Magno? I like the horse. So... still no Teutonic Pride?

Stefan Härtel · July 26, 2001, 18:51

Yep, exactly.
There are several reasons why I right now prefer this project to all others planned.
a) I am reading an excellent novel based on his life and the world he lived in
b) I have read an excellent biography
c) I am working on a school project on him for next summer (including a webpage I think, which is the general reason why I made the new geocities account)
d) There simply is no scenario out there that is a good enough depiction of this conquest (including my old one). As someone who has built up a reputation of creating scenarios on the history of Persia, I see it as my sacred duty (don't know if this formulation exists in English, it does in German) to make this scenario.
e) I just want to

Jay Bee · July 26, 2001, 19:02

Cogent reasons, particularly the last one. I basically agree with you. A GOOD scenario depicting Alexander's conquests is sorely missing. Looking forward to it

Heresson · July 26, 2001, 19:15

A scenario with such name will have to wait until Germans will have something to be proud of

Jay Bee · July 26, 2001, 19:23

Hey Maciej, what's up dude?

H Tower · July 26, 2001, 20:58

that geocities link still isn't working. has anyone else gotten it to work?

H Tower · July 26, 2001, 21:05

i just downloaded the file from the spanish civ2 site. it said it was version 2.1 but when i looked in the readme it said it was version 1.2 which version did i end up getting?

Chris 62 · July 27, 2001, 00:48

Hey Stefan!

Glad to see an update of this.

I thought you gave up on it.

You got the right one, don't worry.
I can't tell why the geocities link doesen't work, but I'm working on it.

I assure you that I will be calling on you in a while...

Heresson · July 27, 2001, 19:03

Jesus, You'll be able to quarrel with me later if You want. I am going to post a Spanish thread at Your forum.

Stefan, remember You are supposed to send me update via mail.

Jay Bee · July 27, 2001, 19:59

Gotcha, huh? Don't you wonder how I figured out? This handle is way better. Most definitely.

Heresson · July 27, 2001, 20:36

Perhaps because I still remain the sweetest apolytoner ever, he?
You said You could recognise "my style". I know You love it.
I admitted that I'm a Pole in my threads, and You could recognize
me because of a photo at OT/ABC too. And I was arguing with
people, making them hate me as no-one else... that could be a clue too.

I'm glad You like the handle. In fact it should be Herisson, my mother said.
there is a mistake in my French book

Mercator · July 27, 2001, 21:39

Ah, let´s make this a Maciej and friends chit chat thread, then.

Hi Maciej, long time no see

Will you be posting about it already? Or will you wait a little yet, and improve it a bit.
(

Nice isn´t it, talking in such mysterious terms)

Uhoh... *threadjack alert* Hmmm, maybe I´d better have a look at that scenario Stefan.

edit: By the way, is there any reason you offer sounds in two files, while BeBro has them in one file?

Yes, I sent the sounds to Jesús afterwards, but he can't receive files +1MB, so I had to split the file up. I had the original one deleted afterwards, and I was in a rush uploading the stuff, so I didn't pack them together again..

Heresson · July 28, 2001, 18:25

Jesus, he knows me for sure, but is no friend of mine... Are You, Jesus...

No, it's not IT

It's just one thing I've been arguing about with Jesus Muñoz once... I'm sure it will make this Jesus angry too, so...

"Insert good reply here"
OK;
"You are right, Maciej. As always..."

In fact, the only thing Germans can be proud of is You, Stefan

(I expect some reward for this flattery...)

Alexander... Allard will be very happy when He'll get to know about this.
