Hi

[klesh]

Long time, no see. How is everyone doing?

[fairline]

Hello Rob, good to see you. How's things?

[klesh]

Gareth! I'm doing well, mate. I had a sleepless night the other evening and did a lot of reminiscing about the ol' Civ days. I thought I'd stop over and see whos still around. I guess when you turn 30, you start to reflect a bit, lol.

Are you guys still doing MGE/ToT stuff or have you all moved on to whatever the latest Civ game is nowadays?

Greets, Klesh!

Good to see yer still around, mate.

Hi Rob. Long time no see indeed . . . . . 3.5 years according to my dusty correspondence file. Welcome back.

SL designers are still actively exploring the capabilities of TOT and coming up with some very interesting applications in their scens. Also, the TOT version of Nemo's Red Front is finally nearing the beta stage.

[klesh]

Cool. I do have to apologize for disappearing on that. I had made so much progress on the events and such, but I don't remember much of the circumstances. I have a tenancy to freak out sometimes and split. I hope there are no hard feelings?

I did find an old folder I had on an old hard drive, it has all of my Civ material from back in the day, but unfortunately neither Stalingrad or nor the old stuff for RF ToT are there, though some other interesting things are. Its a shame, that stuff represents countless hours of work so long ago.

So I wonder how many of the old guard is still here? Case, ANZAC, Henrik, Xin Yu... I saw Tecumseh is still posting... man, these are names that I haven't heard in a long time.

I bought Civ4 whenever that came out, but it didn't last very long... I think there have been several since then, but nothing like the ol' MGE. I think I may still have my MGE & ToT disks laying around, I'll have to look.

Hi Klesh!

I've Henrik om my MSN, if needed I'll ask hi to do a "guest appearance" I saw him in the OT section a while back.

[GhostOfDisco]

Heck, I've got two scenarios I'm somewhat working on ... so we're doing good.

[Eurisko]

Even though the PBEM section here died, there's still an active and very dedicated community on another site, so any new MGE scenarios are much appreciated.

There's a small but diehard core of us now I guess, and ToT stuff tends to outweigh MGE - Exile still turns out class mge scenarios having said that. If you check out the SLeague download pages there's plenty of stuff that'll be new to you; lots of excellent Sibling and Eivind WW2 scenarios that should catch your eye, plus the ToT facelift of Red Front. The potential for civ IV was great - lots of moddable text files for units and events, but I quickly gave up on it as it was buggy as hell...

Commiserations / congrats on turning 30 Things will look different again when your staring down the barrel of being 40

Are you modding any games atm?

Nah, I haven't played around with any games in a long time. I pretty much play only one game, WWII Online. Been playing since 2004 and still enjoying the hell out of it. If anyone ever tries that game, look for me in the forums/ingame. My name over there is klesh as well.

I bought Civ4 but didn't get through many games of it. It kind of felt a bit like EU, where there is just too much to keep track of for my tastes. I always have this thought that the computer is keeping way better track of things than I can, or would care to. Presumably there wont be any modding going on for the console version they're putting out?

Hey Klesh, good to see you again! I still lurk 'roundabouts here. Too busy to commit really to gaming or participating or creating. But enjoy seeing all the stuff everyone comes up with: just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

[conmcb25]

Looks like its old home week. Good to see see some of the old crew is still around.

We did a Demo Game of the MGE Red Front a while back, remember that ANZAC?

[The ANZAC]

Yes!! I remember my extravagant and over the top enthusiasm during the coup d'etat! I place the guilt on my youth

[Arthedain]

And so they rallies!
