Anno Domini Classic : the demo is here at last!!

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Welcome to Anno Domini Classic: the demo. There are twelve civs in the demo version - chosen purely because they were the first twelve I completed. There are other civs that are almost complete.

I've absolutely no idea!! Basically, the system I'm uploading it on doesn't have any progress stats; I've been uploading for about an hour so far. It's the first time I've uploaded to my website, so I don't know how long it'll take. I will keep monitoring it though and let you all know as soon as it's available .

I take it you're looking forward to playing the mod ?

[Stormrage]

Well, I did say Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo!!!!!

I can`t wait, AD is one of my fav mods

[dobbles]

I am also really excited about this. I have been lurking in your development threads and hope to play this tonight or tomorrow night to see.

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Some bad news; after 2 hours of uploading, it has failed to upload to my website. I think there's some problem with the size of upload. Instead, I'm about to start uploading to 3d downloads. I don't know how soon they'll approve the file though.

On another note, Plotinus, please would you close the other (development) thread?

[Virote_Considon]

I'm totally going to play as Nubia first. Their no-resource for land units advantage looks very interesting

[Plotinus]

Yayy! that it's done. Hope it appears very soon.

[Donkey Puncher]

cant wait to play also where exactly do I download on my civ 3 complete folders in senrios or conquests folder

[Mirc]

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(lots of nice surprises right now in the C&C forum!)

Finding a ton of African units to use for this purpose was interesting .

Personally, whilst I've given all the civs a go, my personal favourite is Carthage; the cothon gives them a really good advantage, don't underestimate it! Additionally, a load of free marketplaces just when you need them is pretty good too.

I don't have Civ III complete, but I'd assume it was in the scenarios folder; that's where it goes in my Civ III conquests version.

Incidently, there are a couple of civs nearing completion; I'll see what I can do about adding one or two of them in a patch tomorrow .

[Mirc]

Personally, I don't know which I'll play first... Can't wait to play as the Goths and Florence, and Slavs... Then again the Anglo-Saxons seem interesting too, and Nubia, and of course the Dacians... I think I'll play random civ!!

[Madeira]

Im so waiting for you to finish uploading
Im probably going to borrow some of your ideas and use in my own mod, wondering if i can borrow game art as well?

I don't see any reason why not .

There's some more previews now available in the early posts; you can see that Egypt, the Huns, Illyria and Rome are in production at the moment.

I'm now on my fourth try uploading; the first to my website failed; I'm trying for the third time now uploading to 3d downloads. Each time it has logged me off and taken me back to the login screen (I seem to recall ED had the same problem with MEM). What I didn't do last time, but did do this time, is log straight back in and uploaded again (hopefully it'll "remember" what I've uploaded so far). Sorry about the problems, but they are beyond my control.

[Stormrage]

The Scottish Midgets always crack me up!

[Mirc]

Wow, those new screens are great!!
