Hi again! Back for a while now (got sucked up with EU & EUII). My main idea was: 1) choose a version. i would call for AoK plain, so more people would participate (imho) 2) choose a country. would consider more familiar for all of us, so less library work must be done. France, Italy, Spain...

don't get me any wrong... i aint even too good player (but learning ;) ), but the simple idea of creating "contest" is fascinating. so maybe if there is like 3-5 blokes to give it a try, we could consider it...

any1 else interested? about campaign i think that everyone focus on one war (like france against burgundy or so, as charlemagne like fighting these ugly lombards). when counting 3 missions in campaign: let them not be just skirmishes, 'cause skirmishes can be in one scen also. so the time-span...

well spaniards are for conq.pack, but maybe we should choose from normal AoK tribes.

suggesting SP only:). If everybody create civ2 scn's over here, i thought why wouldn't pple try other games aswell. as campaigns aimed i thought maybe take a country with a long history: like France or Spain, and then each participant could create 3-mission pack as good as they can... multiple...

Hello all multiplayers! I was thinking, why shouldn't our master scenario builders give themselves a break and create, let me see, 3 scenario-campaigns, with all these whistles and bells and triggers AoK offers? Anyone interested in scenario-crafting? Gaius

If it is so as You say, it's OK, what i did mean, was that if I can make a "revolter" -- on certain circumstances tell to player that start bat-file (let say, samnites captured Rome in early years, and they destroyed romans civilization), so some particular cities and units in these particular...

I have a question, maybe bit out of this particular thread but also about hex-editing. As we all know, one can easily change city owner flag, but can units (which are in that city) reowned as easily? i.e. are units mapped in save file as cities?

Any particular reason why AC>CivII and not vice versa?

Always played under control of Ducth economics, but now I really like French pioneer, very good start can come out of him. For English I have no need, because my early strategy includes taking over other colonies. Usually You are at the same continent with one (moderately close even), they'll...

1st in no doubt is Brewster, cos Indians are getting pretty angry, if send some criminal missionaries in:) Minuit is good, but not too good, cos You begin exploiting Indian lands far too fast, eventually of cource I wipe out half dozen villages and their capital to expand my core colonies, but...

de la Salle is crucial. After de la Salle You must just hold Your non-permanent colonies at 2 and You can still loot other nations cities, by removing everybody but 2 at the moment You conquer them. Eventually will other Europeans also get de la Salle, and then You have to focus on another group...

Uhm...It is easy, read some old thread about save file hacking. And last but not least, there always will be choice to open save with old ColDos and change the human player under cheat menu. Trouble with Declaration of Independence still stays. So games shouldnt be played to the end => home...

Do anyone know what they are? I think that they are some graphics because removing Wdcut*.ss files will remove annoying pics about discovering new world and Incas. (Extremely annoying while playing usual Col under win95, cos they are so slow, which is why i play wincol, not remarking better...

I believe we can play Colonization PBEM if we change user flag after every time we turn the game on. Succession games can be played also. And could do PBEM, where one player plays couple turns and then passes the game, so next in line can start fixing troubles made by AI. However Conquistador...
