I do have one stashed away somewhere but couldn't find it. I recall that last time I tried to rip some CDs to my online music collection, it didn't seem to work. John Petroski was kind enough to e-mail me the latest game files but the bug turned out to be the PC usage option, which I'll report...

Fantastic. Worked first time :goodjob:

Yes, that would be amazing. I just think that if the code was out there, the old campaign would have uncovered it. I recall there was a petition with a significant number of signees. Some of the original designers expressed their sympathy with the cause but nobody had any idea if the code was...

I found my ToT disc but don't currently have a working CD-Rom. Could I be really cheeky and request somebody e-mail me a compressed copy of all the latest files?

I do appear to have a bit of a technical issue. When I launch either ToT or ToTPP, I get to the initial menu screen & the first few bars of music start, only for the game to freeze. I'm using the same USB as before, so nothing has changed with that. I'll try re-installing ToT+patches and see if...

Thanks CS. It's good to be back :thumbsup:

I don't think the source code will ever be found. Even if it does still exist somewhere, the legal aspect vs the size of the audience would make it not worthwhile for the owners to bother with. Without some financial gain to be had, they have no incentive to even try. I recall that back in the...

As we found out when trying to obtain the source code for Civ2. Nobody seems to know who owns the rights & more importantly, nobody seems to care. My planned solution (that only got to the experimental phase) was to replicate what Luiz Guzman did with Open General & create a site with all the...

Hiya chaps. Long time no see :) Hope you're all well. I suffered a major motivational drought & then got caught up in other projects. I have been checking in from time to time but don't want to commit to any projects that I don't think I'll see through. It's not fair on others to put in effort...

I've been playing through A Soaring Spirit over the last few days. I think it's only really going to work as a multiplayer, as the AI has no idea about trade, building colonies to protect your trade routes etc... It's still fun, but hardly challenging. I realise this is just the conversion at...

It's a great game from a historical perspective. Really well researches units & campaigns. The divisions are all unique and have their historical strengths & weaknesses (52 so far, including Finnish, Romanian & Hungarians). It is fast-paced and has a steep learning curve. I'd only consider...

Thanks guys. I'll try and ease back in. I've got a lot going on at the moment, but I do miss Civ2 & the Scenario League

Thanks Gareth :goodjob:

I'm very happy with all of these changes. The condensed timeframe makes sense. I always tended towards epic lengths that were probably impractical, especially for multiplayer. I'll dig out the USB and have a look now :thumbsup:

Hi guys, how is everyone? Sorry for just disappearing. After I lost most of my projects in the memory stick fiasco I was so demoralised, I just couldn't face Civ2 & instead of being here half-heartedly, I thought it was better to have a total break from the game. I was also finding it hard to...

Carefully considering the scope & objectives of a scenario is THE most important part of designing a scenario. Several times, I've made the mistake of picking a map or timeframe that was far too ambitious & the project became a nightmare, in terms of the work involved. For example, the overly...

Pythonesque :lol:

I'd second that as a great starting point. The film faithfully recreates Cornelius Ryan's book 'A Bridge Too Far', which in turn does a great job of explaining the battle. Of course, his is just one interpretation but it's a great starting point. Star-studded cast too!
