Might I suggest adding my "How Few Remain" to the list if you haven't tried it already.

It was generally well accepted - about the only complaint I had was that it was too easy.

I went to check it out again and now I remember why I never liked it.

Standard Civ2 terrain/cities. no sound. I'm sure it was wonderful if you read all the tuttle books (I only read the first of the series to do with the lizard invasion during WWII) and could identify with the geopolitics but for me its a tad plain.

I found some other gems at the civfan scifi collection not too often mentioned. Recommend you guys try some of them out.

Aliens - LV426 Colony
Jumpship trooper
Sagan Earth 3000
Mill004
Star Contact 1 - Star Wars
Star Contact 2 - Star Wars vs Star Trek (really fantastic graphics)

also thought of Crisis of a new world order for my collection

I always thought Star Contact was a kobayashi creation?

I recall it, though - A version cool SW vs ST conflict.

Are you sure you have the right one? Our_Man released his version of 'How Few Remain' a couple of months a go in a thread here, and it has non-standard (and very nice IMHO) terrain. IIRC there is a less well-done Turtledove scenario available at CivFan downloads section which contains standard civ terrain - maybe you're confusing the two (?)

I definitely am - especially if the one we're talking about was released a few months ago. I will look for it.

And I can vouch for "How Few Remain" Great scen!

And may I also humbly suggest "The Norwegian Campaign"? And what about your very own super innovative "Battlefield Chess"?

I've located both HFR and the Norwegian campaign.

I didn't include Battlefield Chess cause it wasn't that well received I think. Did you actually play it - I mean the FOrtress Konigsburg scenario that came with it?

Any chance of a link to it?

It's the first I've heard of this one.

You can DL it at the top of this thread. Its actually historically quite accurate, I did lots of research for this one.

Sure I did play it, with the Königsberg scen that came with it. A fresh breath to all the other scens on the market, very unorthodox. More like a whole new game. I liked it a lot. It had many interesting features. One of the most innovative scens I've seen to this date, but it was maybe a bit too complicated for the common civ2 man, but great for real life generals . All you "couch generals" out there should give it a go anyway!

I was quite happy with it myself. It was the first time I used odd/even AI cities to give location names (can't remember who thought of this idea) and when I created hill and mountain terrain with contour lines. First time I included a control panel to control reinforcements.

So did you manage to rescue enough civillians before the dockyard fell?

maybe I will include it in my collection after all. thanks.
