History Resource Page for Civ II

[jgv_fiera]

One more link to your Resources Pages! And this one's just GREAT!

Its name is Classis Romana, it's all about ancient Roman Navy, with lots of pictures and complete info. Once again, a must-see for unit makers, as well as for anyone working on an ancient mediterranean scenario.

This is the link: http://home.t-online.de/home/Peter.Schmauss/roman.htm

I should never had asked...just kidding!
The more links the better! Once I have few more I'll update the site again.

I've set myself the goal now to get at least 100 links together. Shouldn't take too long I prosume...

Theres a historic atlas called "The Times Historical Atlas" or something like that, it mentions it on the scenerio desingers league page, does anyone have this book? Or have accese to it, i.e. a library, friend or familly member etc? It sounds like a good investment for a scenerio designer, and if they had a scanner we could all benefit, i dunno, just a thought..

Zhuge - I have a copy of the Atlas (slightly waterstained from an overzealous neighbor deciding to pressure wash an open window) and it does have some decent maps, but they are more geopolitical than physical, so they are of limited use. I have recently seen that the National Geographic now has a CD of all of their maps available. I think that would be more useful...

[Hendrik the Great]

Just one general question: What time are you people the most interested in? I'm asking because I'm planing on extending the Resource Page quite a bit in the next month when I have two weeks of free time.

Also it would be nice to know what you think of the Links that a currently on the Resource Page.

Of course, if anyone knows another good page, please let me know...

[ZhugeLiang]

I like everything from ancient history to modern, but at the moment i'm most interested in ancient history, mostly in the roman empire and ancient greece.

[BeBMan]

I´m most interested in ancient and medieval history, especially the greek-, roman- and crusader-periods.
BTW, the links of Your page are great...

[jgv_fiera]

I like reading and knowing about most historical periods, with no exception, but I think that most of people is normally more interested in info about ancient and medieval times than about the recent ones, which are more easily approachable.

I'm also very interested in Renaissance and Discovery Age, but maybe some of you already guessed that.

BTW, here's a pair more links:

The Columbus Navigation Page http://www1.minn.net/~keithp/index.htm

Discoverers Web Homepage http://www.win.tue.nl/~engels/discovery/

Keep up this great work, Hendrik!

[Hendrik the Great]

That's great to hear!

I prefer ancient and medieval history myself, too. Also the late medieval time at the time where it evolved to the Age of Discoveries.
Ah, just about everything as long as it is interesting.

Oh, and jgv, those two links are very nice. Didn't know them yet. I really like the Discoveres Web.

You'll find this one very interesting: http://www.kimsoft.com/polwar.htm

It has the complete text of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" in English (Sun Tzu lived in the 5th century BC).

Follow the masses!
30,000 lemmings can't be wrong.

We who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just want to scream it louder and louder:
"What the hell are we fighting for?"
"Just surrender and it won't hurt at all"
-Brian May (Queen)

Hi, Hendrik! It's me again

Here's a new link, which you may find useful for your maps section: The Mercator Atlas of Europe (it's a commercial page, but it provides pictures of the maps).

P.S: Hey, I'm a Chieftain now!

[Hendrik the Great]

Hey! Nice to hear from you again!

Beautifull old maps they show...finally one more link more to some nice maps...

How is that Pizarro scenario of yours going?

[jgv_fiera]

I'm afraid I haven't been able to do much of it these days...

BTW, I've got a weird problem with city plundering that's beginning to really worry me, and I probably will have to start it all out. Here's the thread if you want to take a look at it: http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum4/HT...tml?date=14:26

I'm at the point where you realize that doing a good scenario is not so easy.
