Interesting to see the Bulls go down to NJ..

I tried to use Mercator's map tool to adjust AH's map at first, but that went wrong. Saving in the wrong format and things. I then just created a blank 220x140px file, found a map of Southern Africa, cut the part I deemed necessary (more or less the Windhoek - Maputo line), adjusted its size in...

Allright, a small update. Work on rules.txt is far from done, but part of that had to with me trying to find the right map. I tried taking Allard Höffelt's map as a base and editing it a bit, but it did not satisfy me completely. Especially with making rivers actual ocean squares it became...

True, it's hard to predict of course. History does provide us with some 'leads' though. Migration is of all times. In the 16th and 17th century the Netherlands were flooded with Spanish, French and Portuguese religious refugees.. apart from the purely 'economic refugees'. Now all that is left is...

Everything works great now. Checking the smeds.log revealed that indeed Chronicles installs the unpatched version.. so with some little help of Mercator's registry edit I managed to install the patch.. and now (in combination with the adjusted rules.txt), it looks fine again. :)

Thanks, Catfish. Will take a look. ToT does put me back a little bit.. back to learning some new fundamentals. Good to see that the units.bmp is allright.. and good to see my guess that it was sprites was probably right.

Allright.. here come the first ToT noob questions... 1. Somehow my units.bmp is not being recognised. As you can see I used the resources available here, edited some a little bit in Paint, and then inserted them into the units.bmp using Adobe Photoshop CS3. Saved as 16-bit. I have made a...

That's what I'd like to believe too. Ever since this populist-right thing started taking off a decade ago, I keep getting disappointed more and more in my countrymen and politicians. Sure, we aren't Scandinavia, but it's not that different at all. To top populism, although nothing to do with...

So.. everyone is entitled to their view on how to live life, as long as it's your view? Reminds me of Ford and the colours of the Model T. :D So you are multicultural then? I think that is even largely overestimating in most cases. Maybe it reaches 10% people of non-Western muslim...

There is a long way to go. I have played around with modding in MGE back in the days, but am completely inexperienced in ToT. Of course many principles overlap, but you all have made clear statements on potential benefits of making it in ToT. Therefore I will probably make it in ToT indeed...

I guess now I have to try. :D I just installed ToT again from the Chronicles CD. No idea where I have the first original copy I had. Must have gotten lost somewhere in the last decade. Should be patched then, right? I'll download just to be sure. Except for events options, which I do have...

I do have a copy, never played it much though. And I definetly do not have the design skill to make 'cool' ToT units. Then again, it would probably be acceptable to have a ToT scenario with an MGE look.. :) Are there any other major differences in designing between MGE and ToT? I would very...

Allright, I am not sure how this works.. or even whether I am supposed to post here and not in Scenario Creation, but this one looks like the active forum.. with the best chances for me to gain any input. I’ve been playing with the idea of creating a Boer War scenario for quite some...

This may be a bit early, but for unit graphs I would recommend using pictures of model airplanes or the drawings on front of the box. Just google the airplane name and add 'revell', 'airfix' or a different brand name. Worked well with WW I airplanes for me.

Some World War I aircraft I made back in 2003.. never used. They still need some cleaning up I think, and the shields aren't placed either. I extracted the row from the units.gif I was working in back then. Albatros Nieuport Fokker Taube (Pigeon) Sopwith Camel Gotha G.V Mark I Mark...

He was aprehended an hour ago in Arica, Chile.

The victor does that. Germans indeed teach their children about the war and nationalism. That's why many Germans are still afraid to sing the national anthem or wave the flag. It took 50 year top open up a little bit in that aspect and show some pride of being German. But how many English...

Maybe Mother fooled her children and Jacob was never the protector.. :p

I would like to say that there is a thought behind the European and American systems, but I think both ages were just 'chosen' without considering the other issue. In the end, I would argue that the European system allows young people to experience the effects of alcohol and only after they...

Are you sure? Neanderthales are a different species.
