It's actually the same old game, with brand new graphics. But they do look good! To see what the original game was about, look here! Here's the overall look: As you can see, there are a lot of differences between this and most other mods! The "Data Base": The "Administration" screen...

Over the last few weeks, as Vuldacon & I have approached the final phase of making our epic Old West Mod, I've been increasingly frustrated by the number of unfinished small projects cluttering up my virtual workspace. This thread is a place for me to finally put some of these orphan projects...

Hi again, gang. February is always a difficult time of year: lots to do, and less month to do it in. This is the time of year that many of our best modders get very busy with big projects, figuring that the cold winter will force them indoors to finally buckle down to their work. Ha! I don't...

So finally, for all the marbles, here's a contest that pits newbies against veterans, gameplay against history. I always like the Mod/Scenario of the Year contest because these are, in a sense, the culmination of everything else in the forum - the maps, the graphics, the units, and even the...

This year we find ShiroKobbure having to hold up the entire Leaderhead tent by himself, having been the only person to upload a leaderhead to the Database - er, Resource Center - this year. The good news is: he makes great leaderheads! So Shiro & I have decided to post the most popular of his...

It's really been a great year for Units in the C&C forum. At the rate units have been turning up this year, you'd think that this was a brand new game. Some of the best of those ended up in the contests, but participation by the unit makers seemed so low at one point that I wrote the first...

This Category is for works submitted by the PCX makers for the monthly contest, winners of the monthly contests (links to the monthly contests can be found in the Competitions Hall of Fame) . We didn't have as many submissions into the Monthly Competitions as we'd have liked, but the forum has...

For some reason, the Map of the Year Contest is always my favorite, partly because I'm just partial to maps. The End of the Year contests have always been my own chance to catch up with what's been going on in the forum (you just can't read everything), and this is the category where I always...

Well gang, it's that time of year again. Just when you thought that we had the past year packed away with a stake through its heart, there's this one little bit of unfinished business of celebrating all the work we did last year in our little corner of the internet. Then we'll let 2016 rest in...

Hey Gang, Everybody tired of voting yet? Too bad, because I'm back with a contest that you just can't stay out of. This month's competition is a battle royale between three great units, and promises to be a very tough choice for everyone. Here are this month's nominees: Vuldacon -...

Hello again, gang. Sorry this regular column is late again, but for reasons I won't go into now, I've just been sitting and staring at my computer screen since Tuesday night. I finally ate yesterday, and feel relatively normal today, at last. Small steps. I continue to keep making changes to...

The Cracked comedy site just did a little piece about Civ VI. While it's not about our game, it discusses enough basic Civ concepts to be entertaining: You're Welcome.

Again we've got no entries for September. I can understand it this time, because we've just gotten into our new digs and alot of folks are still unpacking. By the end of the month, I'll expect to be able to return to normal. If you're a Unit Maker, and indicated that you'd like to sign up for...

While surfing about tonight I came upon a thread in the Take2 forums regarding someone trying to use Civ3 Complete on a newer windows platform. It seems that after installing, they couldn't find or mod their game because certain files were locked or missing. Well I had that exact problem with...

Hi gang, If there is such a thing as passive obstinacy, it would define my approach to the whole Monthly Competition. But participation in this long-standing contest lately has me vexed. On the one hand, I really believe that this sole monthly event in this forum is kind of proof of life: "We...

Hi gang! With the media around the world focusing on competition, at least for the next few weeks, it seems a particularly good time to post our own little contest. And this month's is a truly Olympian re-match of our contestants from last month's contest. These guys are all doing some of...

Hi gang! Back with another contest. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, and that everyone is working on a pcx or unit to enter into the contest this month. I love July. Besides being the month I was born, it's also the month in which Star Trek movies are released, and I seriously hope to...

Hi gang, It's looking to be a good year for PCX makers, as interest in the art of PCX making had waned for awhile. But as this month's contest demonstrates, there is a new generation of PCX artists beginning to come forward with new and interesting ideas. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of...

Hi gang, Back with another thrilling episode of 'Monthly Competition'. This month, we actually have enough entries to have both a Unit and a PCX contest! Things are picking up. So on to the contest - this month we have two very strong nominees for Unit of the Month: LMR - Necron Destroyer...

Hi guys, sorry to get this out so late in the month. I honestly don't know where the month went. Next thing I know, I find I have just enough time to squeeze in a monthly contest before the end of the month. Oh, well, I hope it serves to remind some unit makers to submit units they've made...
