Oz's "Trick" For Finding Units, Etc., Thought Long Lost

[Ozymandias]

It's really quite simple. For example, most recently, @Hunterkiller needed an "Aliens" xenomorph unit. I knew that there had been one, once upon a time, now lost from the db. I simply Googled, "civ3 xenomorph unit," and it was, pretty much, right there, in its thread. And this was, at least, the third game asset I'd rediscovered this way.

*sigh* So the "Archivist/Magician" reveals his arcane ways.

The issue I've had with that, though, is the ones where the links are dead. that is where things get trixier.

Google first, then check the old mods I have, then ask if anyone has the file.

This guy was supposed to be at least in African scenario and Golden Hordes mod. These two ain't lost yet, are they?

You can find Africa in the Internet Archives (scroll down.) I don't know about G.H. Both had originally been hosted at Atomic Gamer, now long gone.
