Ah, so people are just playing dumb when I end up explaining something for the 97th time. I'll ignore such trolls in future.

Once I finally start remembering that sprite override, I'll probably find myself explaining it as well. That is if more people like me show up...

I don't understand why you guys like so much. It's got awful graphics -- just open the default game and see!

Now, that's what I call Trolling!

Sorry about the OT, Eivind! But as you're not posting often enough around here any longer...

I am pretty sure Eivind has retired from the Civ community for now, though I'm sure he will be back one day

[typhoon]

It'd be a shame to see those units go to waste.

[Eivind IV]

That is true I have retired, but I agree it would be a shame to see those units go to waste. There are always the beta version still out there. But if anyone wants to finish this, really only a couple of nit picks away, feel free to do so. Here is the latest version>

What remains is to balance some stuff out (see also the todo.txt). But what made my head spin was the trouble related to merging those 3 MGE events files into one single workable TOT events file. The MGE version is playable I think. If anyone knows how to fix this TOT problem, again, feel free. It's a shame how close this came to completion, but yet never quite made it to the post.

Cheerio guys!

[MacGalleo]

Don't be ashamed. You have done a lot for the civ community and I also hope that you will come back ...

[Eivind IV]

Kind of you to say, my friend!

But I am finally clean of the heroin that civ2 is!

[McMonkey]

The scenario and graphics look excellent. Approximately how much work needs doing with the events?

Major overhaul or tweaks?

[curtsibling]

@Eivind IV:

Are there ToT versions of those wonderful Italian units?

[fairline]

I drew all of them in ToT format; there is a ToT version of Eivind's scenario.

@Eivind: Sorry to see you've had enough mate. Keep in touch with us at the SL

[curtsibling]

Aha!
Can't seem to find the ToT version - Anyone got a link?
