This is the new new file announcement thread.
Please note: No discussions in this thread about the items submitted. Questions and so on about the format for announcements, etc. are of course allowed.
Required Format for Submissions
If you would like your new or updated Civ3 file included in the front-page news, make a post in the following format:
Title:
Type: (Scenario, Unit, Modpack, Map, Utility Program, Tutorial, etc)
File Version:
Requirements: (Vanilla Civ3, PTW, C3C. etc.)
File Entry URL: Make sure that the entire URL shows as posted. Directions below, if needed.
(please add your file to the file database if you haven't already!)
Author Name: (your CFC name, that is)
What's new in this version?:
Guidelines for Previews
Three options to get a picture in the preview gallery:
Please post previews that match the standard game graphics. for example post either an animation preview or a pedia-icon-sized image for a unit. LH at in-game LH size. The standard tech icon 170 x 128 preview that shows both large & small icons is also an excellent size to use for any graphics.
If you've got multiple items, you can combine these standard sizes into larger images. Larger screenshots, such as those needed to display an interface in use, that have even proportions are fine - but are subject to arbitrary chopping & scaling to reduce them to a dimension of 128, 256, 320, etc. I seriously doubt anything larger than a wonder splash (320x320) will make it unscathed. If no dimension matches these guidelines the image is unlikely to be used.
If you make a preview that fits, you get to make the aesthetic decisions.

If you do not follow these guidelines do not expect your submission to be included in the announcement.
