New Ancient Empires Web Site

Kull · September 30, 2001, 19:27

With the demise of free hosting at NBCI, it was clearly time to set up a banner-free, ad-free web site. There's a few updates - including a new poll - so be sure to visit and update your links:

EDIT: Revised the link. It should work properly now.

Hey Kull, great site!
Anyway, let's cut to the chase, do you have any tips on how to make a kick arse WW1 scenario?

The link doesn't work for me. When I click on it, I get "/animate.js" added to the address and I then get a link not found message.

try this one.

Good job.All the goodies for scenario makers.

Hey Kull, please change the link to my site to http://www.geocities.com/intaphernes/Index.html

Hobbes: WW1 tips? I notice you have an interesting Western Front scenario under development, so I'll post my thoughts in that thread.

Smash: Thanks for posting the "correct" link. I had a redirect in place, and apparently it didn't work for everyone. I'll revise the link in the original post.

Tecumseh: I always felt that "Millenium" was a revolutionary scenario, sadly overlooked by most. It doesn't really fit with the "Ancient Empires" theme, but it's not available anywhere else.

Stefan: I updated your page link....thanks for pointing that out. Speaking of "bad links", there were plenty of others. Let me list them here in hopes that folks can point me toward newer ones.

Alex's War Gallery (Alex Mor)
Dracon's Civ (formerly Mr. Temba's Civ)
Erwans Historical Units for Civ2
Historical Civ2 (Andrew Livings)
The North Star (George Polaris Lyle's)
Platehead's Civ (Blackclove)

4 of 6 were annihilated by the collapse of NBCI (may they rot in hell), and it would be nice if those sites could be resurrected elsewhere.

Good thing I switched early enough... strange I got no message from them though, as my old site still persisted.
Geocities isn't that much better though... But I don't want to change again.
All I know of is that Alex' site exists at another URL, though many people have difficulties accessing it, the North Star has a new link too, ditto for Erwan... I'll try to find these if you want...

I thought I had that up also... yeah, I'm endlessly grateful

thank you very much for your nomination (it's a bit late I know, but where was the situation...)

Thanks Stefan. If you can find them, that would be great. I looked around and even Polaris' locally hosted AOW site is dead(aow.apolyton.net), so I'd be surprised if the North Star turns up.

Quite excellent, Kull.

Any chance of a multi-player events file for seeds of greatness, that we once discussed?

Still would love to have that as a MP option, as it is STILL my favorite scenario of all time.

It's good to see this site resurrected from the demise of NBCI.

Thanks for the gracious remarks wrt the tech tree describe file, Kull.

My next civ project, as time allows, will probably be a website with links to pages containing historical scenarios (ie a historical scenario meta-page). That has the advantages of being something that can survive the civ2/civ3 transition, and maybe teach me something about web-hosting as well (a more immediately useful skill than knowledge of ancient technology

)
