Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I have Manolo's password if someone wants to jump in here.
How about Darius or Yaroslav.?
Manolo talked to me right before I left for exile in London. (Thank god the Tower is a tourist site now!) He asked me to take over because he just didn't have time. I told him my problem about leaving for a month and suggested he talk to Yaro or Darius. Both might be likely to want to help out.
I would volunteer to help but Im still out of pocket more or less for another two weeks or so and Im not sure I really need to figure out another PBEM this developed when I first get back.
Plus there is the looming release of Colonies IV and a possible PBEM project being developed for that.
So thats that. Let me know if I should give the password to someone. Im sure Manolo would be happy if someone took over for him.

Roger that, Ill keep the passwords for a couple of weeks just in case. Let me know if you change your minds.
SKI-OUT

However, the game is still in beta (though nearly finished) and when it is released, it will be in SP mode. I want to make a MP version, that allows STACKABLE terrain and has more Beaver and Slave units to go around. It won't take long.
Also, any Colonies IV PMEM in which I am involved will have to move very quickly. I don't want to wait 2 years to finish (or just fail to finish) a game. To help that, Colonies IV MP will be in at least 2 chapters, probably 3. Eg Chapter I will cover 1630-1680, chapter II 1680-1730 and chapter III 1730-1780.
We can play through to the next chapter by mutual agreement if everything is going well, but 100-odd turns would usually be enough.
Seriously, you can play the English if you want this time in the 'Poly game, and Henrik can have the Catholics of course......or do I mean the Swedes?
The English are quite vulnerable early on to a human-run enemy, so be warned.
I guess I would prefer the French, but the Dutch or Spanish would be cool too. Anyway, this is all several weeks away. Colonies IV SP needs to be finally released, then I need to do the MP variant, then I need to do the "Chapters" I referred to above, then I need to find some time to play!
I intend to find time for two PBEM Colonies IV, and one online version, played on Sunday afternoons. ADSL will be required for that, I think!
