Does anyone have a copy of VENDETTA III for MGE?

[curtsibling]

Eek!

I was doing some spring cleaning and it seems the rules and various files for Vendetta III are gone, it seems forever...

I am not sure how the last version's folder got messed up, but it seems the rules for version II have been over-wrote
onto version III...Drat and triple drat! This is even the case on the backups...The blunder seems to have happened
around 2004...So I am wondering if any of our regulars have a copy of the scenario from CDG or anywhere else...?

Otherwise the scenario is nuked...

It's not the end of the world, as I could remake the rules with some effort, Just hoping someone might have it, so
I don't have to waste a night typing up the rules again...If anyone could upload the rules file I would be chuffed!

I guess I could even look into recreating Vendetta in ToT, as you may have guessed that
is the reason I was poking around in my old MGE archives for info and inspiration...

Well let's see I think I have it some where... *searching*
I have found only one version of Vendetta from 2003... I may send it if you think that it is the right version.

[curtsibling]

Can you tell me what number is on the units file?
It should say Vendetta3 in large black type.

[NikolajRomanov]

-.- Only "VENDETTA"

In May 2006 some players started a "Vendetta" PBEM. Again it does not become clear wich version but I would not doubt that they were using the most recent available ... perhaps one of them has it on his HD ...

[curtsibling]

Aha!

That would be the first version...Got that one safe and sound.

Cheers anyway, dude!

I hadn't realized there was an actual finished version of Vendetta Curt 3, when did it come out? I remember seeing some of the intended unit graphics posted a little more than a year ago but I was under the impression the moved away from the project to focus on Dictator ToT, Dalek Tyrany, Bitterfrost III and other classics.

I'd be really curious to find a fully working version of the third installment if it is out there somewhere. As for the files, the best I can offer is a copy of what might be the units file you sent a little while back in a preview, might that help?

[curtsibling]

I am beginning to wonder if it actually did get released, I am
sure it was posted on CDG as the final update of the series.
I guess the zips went south with the rest of the site...!

This could be an omen then, to make a ToT version.
Always had some new ideas for a better implementation.

[Harry Tuttle]

I agree with Chris. I don't think it was released. I have V2 and nothing on V3.

[Sarsstock]

Well Curt if you can find the time between your other projects I'd say go for it!! Vendetta was one of the reasons I got into the online Civ II forums years back. I was totally captivated by the image of Siberia being made into history's biggest no mans land between the Eternal Reich and the Red Empire, with ancient half buried T-34's looking westward across the expanse waiting for the old enemy of generations past.

Sarsstock's description of Vendatta sounds intriguing. I have never seen this scenario before. Any idea where might I fine Vendetta II?

[curtsibling]

No problems!

It's under fictional, second from last!

[McMonkey]

Nice one Curt. There are loads of scenarios in the fictional section that I have never seen before. I thought after all these years I had found all the Civ II sceanrios but it seems there are thousands of them hidden away in cyberspace!

[curtsibling]

Indeed!

Recently I had a crack at a bunch of classic scenarios from the early days.

Refreshing how simple and fun they were...!
