Well, it sounds as if this will be easier than I thought. If Alex W can convert the scenarios for which Fairline has created alternate graphics, and both can find some way to send them to me, I can upload them to Tecumseh's Village. (my site)

Fairline, do your upgrades also include things other than units? eg: terrain, cities, icons?

[Eivind IV]

Maybe we can open a TOT section at the Scenario League as well?

I have done quite a bit of converting, and I would be glad to help. One reminder though, Civconverter cannot convert scenarios that use major objective cities. I have already tried to convert some of the above scenarios (Daroae for example) and ToT wouldn't open the resulting scenario.

Can you not just tinker with the objectives pre-conversion, remove all city majors, then put them all back once you've converted it?

[Alex Woehr]

I suppose you could, but I'm not sure that I have a functional copy of Civ2FW anymore. I haven't tried it in a while...

By the way, Michael Daumen has come out with his own ToT update of The Great Game, and I think Catfish has already converted Imperium Romanum; it should still be floating around the forum somewhere.

EDIT: Downloading now...

[fairline]

Alex, can you link to Catfish's conversion of ImpRom please?

Tech: If we're going to do this properly I'll need to adjust the unit gfx once converted to ToT format. I'm finishing up units for EA2 at the moment, so it'll be a few weeks until I can spend some time doing this. I guess you're busy finishing Warlords at the moment anyway?

Well I'd love to help out in any way that I can in updating any of the above mentioned classics. Sadly though my skills center mostly around graphic making and such, nothing really in the way of writing new events and rule making (though I am getting practice with the pre-production of Verne). Still, my skills being what they are are at the disposal of the forum.

I'm also glad to see some recent interest in completing the unfinished Nemo epic "Battle of Britain". Now thats a project I'd love to help out with.

Here are the links:

ToT Imperium Romanum

The Great Game (at Cradle of Civilization)
The Great Game is at the bottom of the page.

EDIT:
Progress Report: All conversions complete. Now testing to see how many actually work...

[techumseh]

Alex, if you can convert Kull's AE 3500 and send it to me, I can add Fairline's units and upload it, pending Kull's aproval.

[fairline]

Kull already did it himself it seems - a ToT version is on the Cradle site:

I'll modify the units file to suit

[techumseh]

Sorry, I meant the AE 1200.

[Sarsstock]

I would definatly love to help out with units and or city styles for Great Game, I always thought that was one of the best historical scenario's of its time.

[Alex Woehr]

Ok, I am ready to distrubute the first batch of ToT conversions from Tech's list. These are straight conversions and should work fine with ToT v1.1 with the exception of some very minor problems. The rest from Tech's list need work before they can be presentable.

The End of the Bronze Age, by Kull

The First World War, by Jesus Munoz

The Prince of Darkness, by Techumseh

The Quest for Asia, by Stefan Hartel

The Cross and the Crescent, by Bernard Brosing

@ Alex Woehr. I already have both of Kull's ancient empire scns and Prince of Darkness converted, so you don't have to send those. Could you email the rest (1 per day, please) to me? I'll PM you with my email.

@ Sarsstock. It's already converted, so why don't you get started on some units?

I'd like to check the units first before anything is posted

I am not sure whether anyone else is getting this, but for some reason, when I try to convert certain scenarios (in this case Colonies 4, 4 Seas Republic, and Spanish Civil War), Civconverter crashes in the middle of the conversion. It has nothing to do with the Major objective bug, since they are all MGE scenarios. In fact, this only happens with certain MGE scenarios, and I have in the past successfully converted the Spanish Civil War. Any ideas?
