History Resource Page for Civ II

[Hendrik the Great]

I was wondering if someone has already done this. I mean a page or list of good historic internet pages that can be of help for scenario design.

I tried to find one for the last couple of days but there doesn't seem to be a single one. So I assume there is none.

So I thought that it might be time for such a thing and I am planing to make one myself for my website. It would be a list of Links to various historic internet sites. Either with sections for ancient, medieval and modern or sorted by regions.
Also I general section with stuff that doesn't fit to the rest.

I do believe that this would be of great help to many scenario designers in spe who do lack the historic sources and for designers who need more information about their theme.

It would be very nice if you could give me suggestions and advice for such a project.
Also, if you know any good historic site you are welcome to tell me so I can include it into the list.

I don't know about dedicated sites for a single period, but the HISTORICAL TEXT ARCHIVE has long been a favourite site of mine.

[Captain Nemo]

Here is a site with some great information, pictures, stats, history etc... on the Soviet armor of WWII... Invaluable in building Red Front:

Great sites! I didn't know those two yet...
A lot of info there.

Thanks!

Anyone else know something?

Here's two more. I actually first found those in some of Harlan Thompson's readme's with his scenarios. Those two are also linked through my civ2 site: http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/
http://www.ukans.edu/history/VL/

The last one may will at least help you to find loads of other history-sites.

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)

I thought I had already found the best sites there are. I was definitly wrong about that!
I guess I have to do an major update in the next days...

Here are two I always visit while designing a scenario. I know have been posted before:

Flags of the World

Regnal Chronologies

[Hendrik the Great]

I already knew of the first one with the flags but the other one with the lists of rulers is new to me. I think it's especially one for Stefan.

I'm not sure if this fits in, but I just found a magnificent site about Middle-earth. Very nice info for anyone trying a Tolkien-scenario: http://people.wiesbaden.netsurf.de/~...h/M-earth.html

[Hendrik the Great]

I guess I will have to open a fantasy/fictional section, as well...
While at it. Do you know of any other good sites that are either displaying fantasy or fictional stuff?

It's not fantasy/fictional, but I think you will like this one:
The History of Costume- by Braun & Schneider.
It may be really useful for unit makers, and it covers all ages and all civilizations, until 1880. You only need a bit of imagination to transform the pictures into Civ2 units.
The URL is: http://www.siue.edu/COSTUMES/history.html

Here's another interesting Tolkien site:
http://www.glyphweb.com/arda

[Hendrik the Great]

That costumes site looks promising! Haven't really looked at it much yet but from what I did see it is not bad.

Glyphweb...Don't I know that name? Wasn't that a Civ II site some years ago?
That archive of them is huge btw!
