Great! And the complete index is a very good idea.

And lets hope that the secret project is revealed soon...

SCDARS · June 22, 2000, 16:26

Neat site! Prometeus is right.
Not very much to add...
Just two points you could consider:
1. Why don't you add BeBro's Cross & Crescent scenario to your Scenario Collection?
2. Ask Stefan Härtel for an update of Darius 2.0

St Leo · June 22, 2000, 19:30

Nice to see Roman Riots among them.

Oh my! I cannot believe I left out Cross & Cresent! Apologies, Bernd, I will add it on the next update (basically the next time I find my self adding new sections).

Yes, St.Leo, I loved that small, yet fun, scenario.

I got into some trouble (a.k.a. flame wars) in the past for suggesting a very nice young man that before uploading anything to a site, the customary thing to do is to ask the author first. But I will not make the same mistake again

PolarisGL · June 22, 2000, 22:22

Site Updated:
-Cross & Cresent added to medieval Best of the Net section.
-Of Celts & Iberians added to ancient Best of the Net section.
-New sub-section on the right-hand menu called "Must Play" featuring this month, 2194 Days of War, Cross & Cresent, Of Celts & Iberians, Red Front, and Roman Riots (listed in alphabetical order).

Enjoy!

I got into some trouble (a.k.a. flame wars) in the past for suggesting a very nice young man that before uploading anything to a site, the customary thing to do is to ask the author first.

I have no idea why an author would object to distribution and preservation of their work on other people's sites. For example, Frederick Meunie asked me to link rather than maintain a copy of his modpacks when I e-mailed him - the reasoning is beyond me.

Best of the Net section added in catagories: Ancient, Medieval, Industrial, Modern.

Beto Benedetti · June 23, 2000, 00:59

St. Leo: Neither have I. It's not a matter of objection but of courtesy. I believe (but I could be wrong) that the Apolyton Decency Act has this point beautifully explained.

About Frederic, his point of view seems quite logic to me. It's an excellent way to avoid that multiple versions of a modpack/scenario are floating around simultaneously. I think Steve Strayer had the same politics.

But hey, why did you e-mail Frederic? Cos you're a courteous person, aren't you

Sloth · June 23, 2000, 02:35

Kudos to Polaris! Very good site!

BeBro · June 23, 2000, 05:18

Thanks for adding Cross & Crescent, George!

But, where is the "Must Play" section, I didn´t find it in the menu?

St.Leo, I downloaded Roman Riots, which was new for me. Great scenario, very good idea!!!

It brings me also to this question: Has someone ever made an entire scenario about the siege of an ancient or medieval city, like Carthago 146 BC or Akkon 1291 AD?

Hendrik the Great · June 23, 2000, 06:22

Bernd, you just gave a way one of my secrets!

But the year will be 1453 AD, that should be hint enough.

Bernd, and every one else: What happened is that I uploaded the updates to the downloads file.

Every thing is fixed now.

BeBro · June 23, 2000, 13:38

1453, Mathias? This sounds great...

I think there is a ToT scenario about the seige of Troja somewhere, perhaps on the Crdle of Civilization...

Prometeus · June 23, 2000, 23:44

1453... Anadolu Hissari, Rumeli Hissari... Hendrik, i can see trought you the same way i can trought a piece of glass!

It was not suppossed to be a riddle. Just a hint. My other project however will come first.

A very good site! I'm kinda surprised to see my Holy Wars scenario there...

2. Ask Stefan Härtel for an update of Darius 2.0

Darius the Great version 2.2 is in the playtesting stage, and parts 1&2 of it are finished concerning the events. You can see the preview here: http://members.xoom.com/SHaertel/Preview.html

like Carthago 146 B

Well, there is my 3d Punic War scenario, but it's not as good as it can be. I will update it someday...

Bernd, I loved that scenario (Roman Riots).

Hendrik the Great · June 24, 2000, 13:23

And I thought I was the first one to think of this...

I don't think I will go down to marketplaces but there will be city parts, important buildings like the palaces and perhaps even the Hippodrome.
But as said, this comes after my Viking scenario.

PolarisGL · June 25, 2000, 00:39

Stefan, I am kind of one of those people who looks for fun themes and what not; it was a pretty fun scenario.

Darius 2.2 looks great; loved 2.0. Good luck.

Thank you for the comments, every one.

BeBro · June 25, 2000, 00:48

Stefan, I like your 3rd Punic War scenario, but my siege idea was a bit different: I would like to see a scenario, where the map is covered completely with only ONE city, like in St.Leo´s Roman Riots, with city walls, gates, places, streets and so on.
As St.Leo, I would use "sub-cities", I mean the important points of a city can be the real civ cities (for instance the citadel, the main gate or the port) which have to be captured by the attackers.
The rest of the city (streets, places) can be set as terrain. I´ve seen this in St.Leos scn, and I really like it, I don´t know if that was also Hendrik´s idea...

BeBro · June 25, 2000, 08:46

Yes, George, I think Roman Riots was one of the best scn ideas recently. I´m wondering why I haven´t found this scn earlier...

And Mathias, I´ll not reveal more of your secrets...
