The ANZAC · September 4, 2001, 08:44

Let me first post my email conversation with Alex to make things clear about his scenario and what is happening. I am in italics and he is in quotes:

Everyone I have spoken to cannot reach your site.

Quote:

HI, MY SITE WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED, BUT NOW IT WORKS AGAIN.
I PLASED RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR SCENARIO TO IT. TO MY REGRET
MY ZIP TOOL WORKS STRANGE AND I WAS UNABLE TO ZIP SOUNDS IN THE
SEPARATE FORLDER, AND SO EVERYBODY WHY WILL AND WISH TO PLAY THIS GAME
NEED TO CREATE "SOUNDDS" FOLDER AND PLACE THERE ALL SOUNDS FILES FROM
MAIN SCENARIO DIRECTORY. I TASTED THIS GAME ABOUT 30 HOURS TOTALLY AND
I THINK IT HAD NO BIG BUGS. BUT I WAS UNABLE TO DO MORE BECAUSE MY
LIFE HARE IS DIFFICULT AND I HAVE NO FREE TIME.

GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND. IF SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS GAME GIVE ME KNOW.
I CAN DO NOTHING MOR FOR CIVILIZATION COMMYNITY.

ALEX

Your site still does not work. If you send me your scenario, I will place it
on my site at www.geocities.com/augusta/fairway/2116 Please reply. Thank
you.

Hi!
The road to my site is
1 - http://www.aha.ru/~mor (from intro page)
2 http://karthago.chat.ru/ (no www need in this case, this is a
direct road to main page)

the old adress "kabalero" is totally destroyed

Best regards

Alex

Your site still does not work. I think it might be the Russian server at
www.chat.ru If you want you can still send me the scenario to post on my
site I will give you full credit for your work.

Quote:

this is to waste for me.
I can not do it now.
Did You try to use enter using http://www.aha.ru/~mor
Ask somebody else. I must know if my site work or not.
in this case I will build a new site. May be on
Gecities fields.

Sincerely Yours

Alex

I am posting a thread at Apolyton right now to see if your site can be
accessed by other people. Keep close to your email, I will reply in a day or
two with the results.

So here is the thing Alex has the scenario finished to the contrary of Techumseh's thoughts

So check if you can get to http://karthago.chat.ru thorugh this link or through www.aha.ru/~mor Alex really wants to release the scenario just on his site, so please reply with your results... BTW it hasn't worked for me

Jay Bee · September 4, 2001, 09:11

It works perfectly fine for me.

Stefan Härtel · September 4, 2001, 10:01

Both work fine.

master on high · September 4, 2001, 10:54

http://karthago.chat.ru timed out

but the first link worked...although when I clicked "enter" it didn't come up.

Gothmog · September 4, 2001, 10:55

I just tried and got a site not found for the karthago.chat.ru link.

The ANZAC · September 4, 2001, 12:12

This is very strange. i can't get karthago.chat.ru and neither can Case who has high speed internet access.

Jay Bee and Master on High: What type of connection are you using? Does the site load up quickly? How is the scenario?

Paul Hanson · September 4, 2001, 12:43

I can get to the first site, but the link for the http://karthago.chat.ru site times out. I`m using 64k ISDN.

our_man · September 4, 2001, 13:58

It wouldn't work for me either.

Jimmywax · September 4, 2001, 14:01

Ya, I didn't get squat. I have a 56k isdn.

Henrik · September 4, 2001, 14:04

Doesnt work for me

, I have ADSL.

Yes, it does.

Quote:

Dunno, haven't downloaded it yet.

Jay Bee · September 4, 2001, 15:45

Downloaded it. It's 1.56 MB in size. I can ask Alex for permission to post it at TSCIIS but if he said he wants people to d/l it only from his site, I'm afraid I can't do much else.

Stefan Härtel · September 4, 2001, 16:09

I could download it for you and send it to you via eMail if you like. Maybe it's not entirely fair towards Alex, but on the other hand it's not fair to you either if you have no chance of getting it.

MagyarCrusader · September 4, 2001, 16:14

I cannot access either site.

Well actually, I get the intor page but thats it...

klesh · September 4, 2001, 16:54

Both are rocksteady for me! On my 56k dialup no less!

-FMK

klesh · September 4, 2001, 17:06

Perhaps see if you guys can get these?

The link to the scenario's special page:

http://karthago.chat.ru/CivilWar.htm

And here's the actual download link for the .zip:

http://karthago.chat.ru/civwar.ZIP

95% done on the dl m'self...

-FMK.

Case · September 4, 2001, 19:27

I can't acess either of those pages from my 56K home connection, or lightning fast university connection

Both use MS Internet Explorer, so I wonder if thats the problem?

This may be unethical, but could someone email the scenario to me? My address is nick_dowling@hotmail.com
My hotmail mailbox can only take 1 meg, so you'd have to split it up first...

Grothgar · September 4, 2001, 20:06

Sorry to be a nasty git but it worked fine on my computer and i only have a crappy 56k modem

hehe. both links worked fine and just because i could ui downloaded it twice. im just going to play it now.
hahaha

Why you #$%&*!!

I can't access anything beyond the first link posted either. The others just time out, as do links from the main page (Not that I have time to play it at the moment anyway

).

Don`t know how much help it`s going to be, but I did a tracert on the karthago.chat.ru address and got this:

Bear in mind that number 1 is missing because the dos window was too small to mark all the tracert output, and that I gave up after number 22 because I was quite obviously getting nowhere.

Mercator · September 5, 2001, 08:05

No soup for me.

Only the portal at http://www.aha.ru/~mor works, but since that just links to http://karthago.chat.ru it´s of little use.
I can´t even access http://www.chat.ru So I reckon that´s where the problem is. At what time did you access the site, JB, SH and FMK?

I can access it any time of the day, bullet speed

Send me a PM if you....

Mercator · September 5, 2001, 11:09

Well, nevermind... I was just curious about the site and its problems... I don´t think I´ll be playing the scenario anyway.

If I ever fully get into playing scens, I´ll have enough scenarios to keep me busy for a while. (Yours for instance

)

The ANZAC · September 5, 2001, 17:06

Can someone send it to me at theanzac@nac.net? I contacted Alex and he's says he'll take this into consideration, but I'd like play the scenario soon and I won't distribute it. Thanks!

If you looked 12 posts up you'd see following:

the other hand it's not fair to you either if you have no chance of getting it.

I already got two requests, and as the file is rather large, I'm trying to send it to as many people as possible at a time. So please don't consider ignoring this offer and request yourself, but take this into consideration. You will receive this file either this evening or tomorrow noon.

Stefan Härtel · September 5, 2001, 19:03

I have sent the scenario to The ANZAC and two others. You should consult him to forward the scenario to you, because it took me ca. ten minutes to get it over, perhaps he can make it faster. Further, I'm trying to contact Sun Tzu, maybe he can convince Alex to let others publish the scenario. I'm not gonna contact Alex myself because I'm not going to put it up on my site, so that'd be kinda silly. Sun Tzu however speaks for Civfanatics, and since this is a large site, he could move Alex.

Mao · September 5, 2001, 19:15

OK, I dled it and am playing it. Is this the finished model? I captured Moscow and the other city that's supposed to let you build machin guns, but I can't build either machine guns or armored cars yet!

Jay Bee · September 6, 2001, 12:24

The scenario is now available from download @ The Spanish Civ Site

Warning: it does not look as a 100% finished scenario to me.

techumseh · September 6, 2001, 14:56

I agree. It looks like it's very rushed. It may still be fun, though.

Mao · September 7, 2001, 17:35

...'cept you never get tanks or machine guns...someone more civ savvy wanna tell me what to change in the rules to make it work "right" or make a file?
