Hi Fairline, your PM box is full. Any luck with a web-based email account?

Btw, you may get yourself banned if MarkG can't reach you by email. That happened to Catfish, Mercator, and me at times in the past.

Btw2, I have no requests for art.

[techumseh]

Yes, become accessable. It's a must for members of online communities!

[fairline]

Strange - My PM box is empty

I'll get a new e-mail account asap. Actually, I tried to get a google account but I failed miserably

[Arthedain]

While we're at it. How's that LotR conversion thingy coming along Gareth? And no, I'm not in a hurry or anthing, I now you got tons of ci2 things to do, Im just curious.

[Eivind IV]

If you want a google account I would gladly give you one.

[fairline]

The trouble I ran into was that you need an existing e-mail account to activate a new google account. Catch-22...

@ Arth: On hold while my scatter-brain flits onto other interests

I was afraid that was the snafu! Do you want help establishing one? Maybe I could 'lend' you an address for a brief period to obtain an activation code.

No worries Dave, normal service has been resumed with my old e-mail account

Hey...Cool!
That is a rather interesting idea!!!

I might experiment with that concept soon!

[Von Bert]

Mr C.S.
is surely not up to me to say it.. but i agree with you !
btw, i just used ur 1600/1700 towns to mod on colony3.. and it just look fine !

well , i played boardgames long ago.. and this "counters" make CIV more lively imo.. and give the chance to make the map more readable.. and colorful!!
and with printed combat value .. no need for pedia !

[curtsibling]

Pleased to meet you, Von Bert!
So many new face around here, it's great!

Many of us grew up playing Allies and Axis, and Risk.
I always dream of capturing that board-game feel in CIV2,
and I will explore what can be achieved with using counter
type units, could add some old school feel to the game!

Hello herr von Bert (or is that signore von Bert if you are from Torino?)

That's a neat idea. There are quite a few old codgers round here who fondly remember hex wargames. Having the unit strengths visible on unit counters a la hex board-games is cool. It'll be interesting to see your complete unit set from your scenario in this style

Del Piero is a top player btw. Would it be rude to remind you of Man United's 3-2 win in the Champions League against Juve in Turin '99? I remember it being a fantastic game by both sides, and we went on to win the CL. IIRC, the first leg had been 1-1 at Old Trafford when Juve had outclassed us completely, and we were all expecting a thrashing in Turin.....

[Von Bert]

hello mr.Fairline ..

yes u right.. im more Signore then Herr..

Juventus_Manchester was a classic match.. ah.. those year u had a WONDERFUL team.. and we battled a lot aorund..
i remember really well your red-devils ?
and sure.. i remember also that 2-3 at home.. yep.. :S
a sad night.. but your team was outstanding against a without-heart juve..
but.. sir.. i remember u that sometime also juve had some happy night at old trafford... 0-1 , maybe in 1996..
old-times...
now JUVE is in B series !!! :S
a sad history.. of arrogance and mis-use of power.. more than corruption..
and anyway.. ONLY juve was found guilty...strange.. for somehting called "a system"..
anyway.. italy is still struggling with ULTRAS.. 10 days ago a policemen killed in Catania by (young) hooligans ..
and all the blame is against .. the stadium !!!
not barbarian-people.. but is the stadium to be guilty !!
yep.. :S
so mafia will build new stadium and all ll be ok... so they say..
sad..
aw..
Units ?

http://elpero.interfree.it/Units.gif

here u find the TEUTONIC units w counters.. im not sure about it.. i wanna try...
not to mention that if u have some good replacement.. just suggest me/send the unit..

the problme with counters covering terrain.. with MGE is less important.. as UNITS blink when active so u cans ee terrain..
in TOT..is mayb a bigger problem problem..
or maybe i did counters too big..
