Aww, I just got back to the forums and now I hear this.
I made a Indian main battle tank and I still have it, but I can't find my axe throwing warrior in my files. Does anyone have it? :/
I can't look at the dl database cause of the migration to see if it's still there, but it was uploaded prior to 2006.
It's
still here!
And the download still works!
I also found your
Indian Tank unit, which also is still downloadable.
The CFC search options are currently wonky with the migration, so I wound up finding it with a
DuckDuckGo search based on your posts here, for which the tank was the first result (I didn't have any luck with the axe unit as the search term). That gave me the date it was uploaded of January 3, 2003, so then I sorted the unit forum in order of starting date, jumped around until I got close, and paged forward until
page 125, where I found the unit.
If the search functionality were fully working, it probably would've been easier to look for all the threads you'd started in the units sub-forum.
As for how it's still here, it looks like it predated the Downloads Database, and thus used the old Uploads system, which was disabled around 2006, IIRC for security reasons. I believe there was a hack related to that at some point too, but if your files were ever lost, they were in the backup for that one.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to add them to the Downloads Database now (although it certainly doesn't hurt to leave the old link as a backup), since that's where most people look for units nowadays, and it's more discoverable (and will be more so once the migration is completed).
I also downloaded them so I'll have a backup for you if they ever disappear from CFC for some reason. Ozymandias generally is the right person to ask though - I don't think any other CFC member has as extensive of a collection of the Civ3 files uploaded here over the years.
