Sleague Updated More or Less

1. I'd like some comments on the direction in which I am taking SLeague.

2. Some suggestions on content would be quite welcome. Such suggestions should include URLs.

3. Content would be even more welcome. Content includes magazine articles for Techumseh, reviews for me, and graphics collections for me.

BeBro · November 14, 2002, 17:52

And I could send you my units collections, maybe also cities etc.

I thought of reopen my website, but there are some problems with the host, I´m not sure when they are gone...In the meantime it would be a pity when they are not available (they are at the Civ Universum to which I´m linked to, but the site´s in German

)

St Leo · November 14, 2002, 19:23

I've yanked the Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance Ship collections from the German site. If you send me your city collection, I'll put up the whole shebang sometime in the next hundred years.

H Tower · November 14, 2002, 21:50

when do we get to read the next copy of the magazine? and who won the contest last time?

St Leo · November 14, 2002, 22:50

when do we get to read the next copy of the magazine?

The same day that I do.

who won the contest last time?

I don't know.

Included the latest cities from Cross&Crescent 2.0 too...

Chris 62 · November 15, 2002, 11:24

Hmm, the orange looks terrible, never cared for that much.

Why not bring back the old seal?

Prometeus · November 15, 2002, 15:58

I'm working on a tera-super-terrain collection. Interested in?

Exile · November 15, 2002, 17:04

The only suggestion I can make is to change that awful mustard color used for the ScenLeague background.

Whoo.

I'll render my verdict when I see it.

Sure thing. How does an awful salad colour sound?

Mercator · November 15, 2002, 20:10

I think overall, the amount of yellow should be reduced... And since you have the colors all nicely in a stylesheet that wouldn't be too difficult, no?

Well, the fact that the color scheme of the site is its main issue must be a good thing.

Edit...
Ack! I couldn't resist...

How about these two... I even have the CSS files ready, so all you'd need to do is change the title graphic.

St Leo · November 15, 2002, 20:44

That looks pretty good, but I've just completed a de-yellowing of my own. I'll put yours up if mine is received negatively.

Mercator · November 15, 2002, 21:33

Ah, you finished the "salad".

That looks fine by me

(except that the index titles are barely readable, that is "Reviews", "Tips", "Magazine" etc.)

Doesn't HTML/CSS have some features with which you can have multiple stylesheets and allow the user to pick? (don't know if any browser actually supports that yet).

(And which game did you rip that nice image from this time?

)

St Leo · November 15, 2002, 21:44

Ah, you finished the "salad".

I was going for "aquamarine", but you know how it is.

(And which game did you rip that nice image from this time? )

That's from a wallpaper of the Russian Buran space shuttle.

Yep. Send me yours.

Henrik · November 16, 2002, 11:06

If you have time go through the entire graphics showcase thread and make it all into a gigantic graphics archive which can then be dled from the sleague site (or you could just upload every individual file, in any event it'd be a lot easier to go through them that way).

If this is too much I guess you couls simply place a link somewhere to the thread as possible scenario designers who aren't visiting the forums (if there are any that is...) would be missing out on all the material otherwise...

St Leo · November 16, 2002, 12:17

Uh, do you want me to include all of the single-tank imagery? I am going to have to think about that.

Henrik · November 16, 2002, 13:06

Well you wanted suggestions

H Tower · November 16, 2002, 14:22

unless all of the artists included their initials in the graphic in the first place, imagine how much work Leo would have to do to docuement the artist.

St Leo · November 16, 2002, 14:45

http://sleague.apolyton.net/db/civ2graph.php

That's the most that I am going to do until I have a lot more free time.

BTW, Gothmog needs articles for the magazine. Do something.

BeBro · November 16, 2002, 16:13

Well, why don´t you use a similar color scheme like the one you had on your ziggurat site (more blue)? Because a) I like blue

, and b) but not green

...

No, but seriously, IMO the green style is not the best choice...

*runs*

GePap · November 16, 2002, 16:19

Hey BeBro: those are your graphics?

I have always loved them: The best i have ever seen for anyting dealing with the time from Alexander to the 30' years war!

St Leo · November 16, 2002, 16:56

No, but seriously, IMO the green style is not the best choice...

There will be a Blue redesign in December. Until then, don't get too green with envy at my unsurpassable design skills.

I have always loved them: The best i have ever seen for anyting dealing with the time from Alexander to the 30' years war!

While we are on the subject, is there a 30 Years War scenario out there that actually uses those?

El León · November 16, 2002, 19:58

I notice there are few reviews on the SL page.

a) Is that becasue people like me do not get off our chairs and do more reviews?

b) Was that a dumb question?

St Leo · November 16, 2002, 20:11

a) Is that becasue people like me do not get off our chairs and do more reviews?

Yes. We could also use a few articles for the Scenario League Magazine.

b) Was that a dumb question?

42.

None that i have seen: i just have the graphics collection.

BeBro · November 17, 2002, 07:18

Henrik´s Carolus Gustavus Reagis scenario uses them, but it plays shortly after the TYW

Henrik · November 17, 2002, 07:35

Jepp and I use them in my current project as well...

MarkG · November 17, 2002, 07:57

Is there a preview somewhere? Just curious about what it is....or is it for the contest?

Hendrik the Great · November 17, 2002, 09:54

What would really interest me it that someone would finally take the time to review one of my scenarios.
Death and Resurrection of an Empire (Daroae) was already up for review on the old site and is by now a few years old.

Also a review of my last scenario, Vikings - Across the Oceans, would be very interesting to see. I can't imagine better feedback for scenarios than a well written review by another great scneario creator.

I usually use my real name in scenarios so these are all from Mathias Koester.
