[Eivind IV]

Thanks, con!

[curtsibling]

Yeah, sorry about the lack of action on the report, but I have been a busy booger at university lately -
That and a plethora of other conflicting priorities...

But you have my solemn promise of a decent report this saturday!

I have played the scenario a bit and I am impressed at what I have seen so far.
The mix of graphics (especially the wigged people) are simply super.

[Eivind IV]

Hopefully I'll have a release ready for christmas!

Beta v.5 ready for those interested

[curtsibling]

Let me know what cities you need, and I can get them for you!

[Eivind IV]

Well, that PM I sent you was about Blitzkrieg 1936 v.3: http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/ci...opic.php?t=774

It would be great it you could help me with that

But, if you have some rennaisance cities laying around, I wouldn't throw them away

@Saarstock:
About those icons, d'you have any original ones? You do own a copy, right? If not, just download it in my CDG forum.

This should definatly be up for scenario of the year my friend!! The great scenario's are the one's you can play for hours upon hours on end and still want to play more, as is this one here.

Colonialism: Age of discovery is greater than Jesus. I've been waiting to play a scenario like this for a very long time.

Does the scenario have sound?

Thank you, Riesstiu IV! Although extremely blasphemic, I accept the compliment!

And yes, sounds will come with the finished version. This is still the beta...

[Riesstiu IV]

All of your scenarios are awesome. I even have a subfolder with your name that has every mod/scenario you made.

I'll give you feedback for Colonialism after I finish my final exams

[Eivind IV]

Now I'm even more humbled!

Hopefully I'm done with my final exams as well then

[DeathByTheSword]

i would love to play it and heck i will...but i have to ask because the dutch only begin with 2 cities wont that put them on a TO big of a disadvantage?...as you see where i come from i would love to see that the dutch can get strong...

[Eivind IV]

Well, it's the aweful truth that the Netherland isn't that big, and this is giga map. But the dutch cities are very fertile, and when they get the Merchant Shipping tech, things will steam up for sure. Then they get the cheap and fast moving unit 'Fleuyte'

Looking forward hearing from you
