Nope (not yet atleast), and nope

Henrik´s Carolus Gustavus Reagis scenario uses them, but it plays shortly after the TYW

Wasn't Carolus Gustavus dead after the TYW? Am I thinking of something else?

[fairline]

I think that was Gustavus Adolphus

[St Leo]

Is Charles XII Carolus Gustavus?

'gnurant'...

No. Gustavus Adolphus leaded Sweden in Thirty Years War. Carolus XII was the main responsable for Poltava's defeat.

PS Oh. Gustavus Adolphus died in TYW. At LÃœTZEN battlefield.

[Henrik]

Ok this is how it is:

• Gustavus Adolphus (or Gustavus II Adolphus/Gustav II Adolf) died at lützen 1632.
• Carolus Gustavus (Or Charles X Gustav) died of a cold 1660 (after first conquering all of poland down to the black sea, then loosing it all again and then lay siege to Copenhagen).
• Charles XII has no gustavus near his name and yup he was the one in charge at both Narva (gigantic succes) and Poltava(gigantic defeat).

Whooa, i did a little bit of "casino"...

[St Leo]

Right. Your scenario is about the unimportant one.

St. Leo:

I hope you can add my utility (version 1.1 here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...0&pagenumber=1) to he Utilities section of your site

I'm working on version 2.0

I'm not too wild about the blue but it could've been worse ... Could I see something in a battleship-grey for example? Make it match the drapes...

I agree with MarkG about the subtitle though. Now that Techumseh is officially staff, he should be added as well.

That is what you meant isn't it Markos?

[MarkG]

not exactly
but if you're going to add names in big font sizes, you should put in everyone's, since day 1

btw, me and dan should not be in the staff list (bottom of pages). instead there should be a note that sl is hosted on apolyton

[Prometeus]

Urkus...

... from orange to green and then blue... are you playing at Uno, Leo?

( kidding... you have my seal of approval, prussian blue fits good :b ).

I noticed the remark about reviews from another scenario creator, this was a MAJOR problem with the old league reviews, something I brought up a few times.
(I only did a single review for the league, for that VERY reason, the implied prejudice against the players, and that only scenario makers can do good reviews).

As some of you know, I have written a number of scenario reviews for another site, and still do from time to time, but if we are going to have this "eletism" thing crop up again, it will sour the whole review process yet again.

I have stated numerous times, the WORST person to review a scenario is another designer, simply because most fear being overly critical of another's work (Jay Bee can back me up here, we talked about it extensivly).

If you want reviews to come, you'd best welcome all, is my opinion.

BTW, the blue is much better.

[Hendrik the Great]

Okok, bad choice of words. Perhaps I should have said scenario enthusiast or player instead which is also mor eof what i meant.

Maybe some more "advertisment" for making reviews would be good???

[Shadowstrike]

As a person who sees the SLeague front-page every time he turns on IE...

The blue is a big step forward from the green, but the colors are still too dark..... The text is sometimes difficult to read. IMHO, a lighter shade of blue and you're just about right Leo.
