No lame excuses!

You have your audience here and on CDG - We like your stuff.

Get started!

Sorry Eivind, I have forgotten about this ops:

PM any e-mail adress you have which is big enough to receive big pictures

[Heresson]

What's CDG?

[Pablostuka]

CDG = http://www.cdgroup.org

@Eivind...I can't find that magazine right now, I'll have to wait my parents to come so I can ask them...

[Eivind IV]

Alrighty!

[fairline]

Eivind, do you have ToT? I've been having a play with some units for you, and it's a real struggle getting the cavalry helmets to fit in the small MGE unit slot. ToT gives you plenty of headroom

[Arthedain]

Nice unit!

[Eivind IV]

Oh, beutiful, Gareth! Thanks!

Yes, I do have TOT, I'm not very familiar with it though. I've only played El Aurens on it onc (which I loved btw ). Although I am aware that TOT is better than MGE in many ways, it sort of limits the amount of players for the scen, as not very people own TOT, as opposed to the masses that have MGE.

Is it only the cavalries that is a problem?

[fairline]

What masses?

There's about 30 of us here, at CDG and CivFan. Most now seem to have ToT. As for the great unwashed masses who play and lurk but don't post, who cares about them?

Sorry great unwashed masses, I love you really

[techumseh]

I'd care more if they'd take a bath now and then.

[Eivind IV]

I'm only familiar with MGE

[fairline]

No problem - me too. However, if you use a text editor for MGE scenarios, them making a ToT one is identical. The additional features don't have to be used - but who'd turn down more events space, individual sounds and civ-unique units to name 3 advantages?

[Eivind IV]

Look at the source code petiotion thread. There's a hell of alot more than 30. I did maybe though exaggerate a teny tiny bit with 'masses'

I use notepad to edit the original files. It's just that when I first make a scenario, I like to do it thoroughly, and if had all those extra feutres, I couldn't just not use 'em. So it would take me just as long to get familiar with all that ToT can offer as it would making the scen in MGE. That's why I'm so sceptical.

I must honestly admit that it does not look as pritty as the ToT unit, but isn't this a fair MGE compromise? Was this the only unit you had some trouble with?

[Pablostuka]

Eivind....that magazine has dissapeared

@Gareth: That unit looks brilliant, and it's not looking bad at all in MGE format.

@All...I recently adquired the German TOT...can anyone please e-mail me all the English text files? I don't understand German... Thanks
