Your scen is fine work -
The civ2 community is just a smaller cadre these days!

But be happy - You are bringing a damn good scen to 28 people in the world!

**Heresson** · August 31, 2004, 19:48

I am damned afraid that the civ2 community may dissolve. And all the wonderfull scenarios like the ones of Jesus Balsinde may be lost. I wish civ3 was never out.

**Heresson** · August 31, 2004, 19:49

And thank You!

**curtsibling** · August 31, 2004, 20:19

You're welcome.

Do not lose heart - There are enough hardliners to keep it going!

There are still 'Elite Frontier' and 'Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe' communities out there!

I am confident Civ2 will never die from the net.

**Heresson** · August 31, 2004, 21:08

What are those communities You mentioned?

**curtsibling** · September 1, 2004, 04:43

Really old games from the MS-DOS era.
*Curt has a nostalgia moment*)

There are still people hexxing mods for these ancient games.

So I think Civ2 will have support as long as there is a place to go.

A Civ2 unity movement (similar to the source code movement) may be the thing to do.

@Heresson: hey, man, keep you up

28 downloads arent so bad...
ehm, if you don't consider I downloaded Mamluks 10 times

However some civers prefer other historical periods (ww2, roman age, colonization, nowadays times, fictional, future, and so on), but MidleAge will have always its fans !

**fairline** · September 1, 2004, 12:59

Put a couple of tanks in the units file. Should get you up to about 40 downloads or so

Ah SWOTL - my fave ancient flight sim

I was hoodwinked into buying the new version which turned out to be utter sh1te. Shame

**curtsibling** · September 2, 2004, 06:46

One of my faves too - Still have it on HD somewhere!

Does this new version have a realistic image of a P-38 being attacked by a Me262 on the cover?

If so, the box packaging was good, but the game did look poor.

Today's games developers just don't have the attitude the old-school guys had.

**fairline** · September 2, 2004, 12:43

That's the one - it was supposedly designed by the same guy (Lawrence Holland?) who also made those Star Wars space flight sims and the SWOTL prequel Battle of Britain. The new SWOTL (forget it's name) is a pretty ropy arcade game sadly... you can't even view the action from inside the cockpit.

**curtsibling** · September 2, 2004, 13:17

That sounds like the dodgy arcade shoot-em-up I seen too.

Holland certainly lost his magic touch.

I will just have to console myself with fond memories of strafing enemy AA guns in my Go229!

Time for Nostalgia!
Check this out, fairline!

Oh, to make it on-topic, praise my scn from time to time

**fairline** · September 2, 2004, 14:05

Heh, that brings the memories flooding back Curt. Must be 10 years since I played it and 5 since I last saw the 3 1/2" floppy install disks

If only I'd kept 'em - it seems you can get a converter to run SWOTL under Win XP..... /wipes tears from eyes/

Oh, yeah, fantastic scenario Herreson
