    Idea Apolyton hosts your files

    Apolyton's download section has been back for a while. So it is time to introduce it to you. You can upload your files, like screenshots, modding resources, and finished mods to Apolyton, so that all civers of of the world can play your mods. You can upload up to 250 MB per file if you use the rar or the civ5mod format. So there is no need to host your files on some third party site, this way we can make sure that they stay available. Your files are published immediately. We do not review them, because we trust you.

    If you need new categories or for a certain file type more space, ask for it here and if reasonable we will grant it.

    How does it work:
    Go to Downloads on the Apolyton menu bar. It is the fourth item on the bar after, Sptlight, Forum, and Blogs. Then go to the category where you want to add the file, for instance: Civilization V > Downloads > Mods. There click on the bar below the Spotlight bar Add Entry. Fill out the form, by adding a nice name, which preferably contains the version and also the game it is for. Since this will appear on our what's going on side bar and people what like to know what game your entry is for before they click on the link. After the name you add an interesting description, to make the people to want to download your file. And then you upload your file and also an interesting preview image. Finally, you click the submit button on the bottom on the form and then your file is online.

    For now, upload your files, the civ community needs them.

    Good deal. I got banned once for uploading a "No CD" crack file. I always took that hard. You had to have the game CD loaded for it to be of any use.

    We still don't accept "No-CD" cracks here, unless there is an official No-CD patch. Of course, I would prefer if the companies would trust their customers. If they don't trust me why I should trust them.

    You have to have had the game CD loaded on your machine for the No CD crack to work. It's not a pirated copy of the game.
    It beats the hell out of loading the game CD every time you play, and saves wear and tear. Of course, the game company probably likes the wear and tear.

    Loaded? Into memory or what? Was it something to load the CD then give it to a friend so that you could both play? Or something that had to be redone whenever you booted your computer?

    By loaded, I mean installed.

    With such a hack 10 friends can buy one copy of the game and install it on all their computers.
    A lot can be said of course about this issue, but the bottomline is that we follow the law.

    Well, first get the spelling right. Then go to our download section select the right category, let's say you wanna upload a CTP2 scenario then go to Call to Power 2 -> Downloads -> Scenarios, there go to the secondary menu bar click on Add Entry, fill out the form and upload your scenario.

    Yes, you can, I even don't mind if it is civ related stuff like, screenshots, scenarios, mods, guides, etc. Why don't you just upload a Civ5 mod?

    Well, and for the abusers we have some nice stuff in stock. For the boring start I can take the upload ability, then of course we have the post throttle, only posting in certain forums, etc. So wonderful instruments of torture.

    I was just going to use it to store porn. It's all my own, so there will be no copyright infringement, if that's what you're worried about.
