Good Day King Bulrush ! The greeting 'good day' reminds me of the Australian civer Simon Darkshade, who also contributed a lot to SOE (but is some years older than you).
I am aware of the 'recent exceptional circumstances' and I am trying to contribute my part to help in this situation:
https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/rise-and-rule-revisited-epic-mod.549166/page-42#post-15710918 The greatly enhanced current version of RARR (a successor of the very prominent DyP and RAR Civ 3 mods) became ready in record time, investing all my free time for finishing this mod. Fixed biqs of this mod for reported errors will come in the next days.
About the SOE requests for the past 6 years, please consider the following:
About ten years ago I suggested and invited the Civ 3 modders at CFC to work on a common epic mod to include all the important historic modding work concerning Civ 3. As there was shown no interest and additionally at that time at CFC in favour of another project, some other measures were done against me, that I cannot describe here without violating against the forum rules, I had to start (and mostly do) this project called CCM (Civ Conquest Mod) alone and not at CFC (so in the later stages I received help). Your example with the lost SOE files and additionally the loss of data at CFC and the closing of hosting sites like Atomic Gamer and SOC are showing, that my decision to do a mod like CCM2 was the right one. The survival of one version of CCM2 with its more than 3.000 units allows to restore big parts of the modding work of Civ 3.
Therefore the mod CCM2 in that time had the highest priority in my modding work, followed by the mod RARR, that now also is using the CCM2 files. The next in sequence is WW2 Global Gold, that also will be played with the CCM2 files. Additionally there are also requests about fixing errors in AOI, the most viewed and played Civ 3 scenario.
SOE - so I had invested immense amounts of time (like others, too) to make it playable - is at the end of this sequence. The reason for this is not the playability of this scenario. In my eyes SOE is still by far the best WW2 scenario of the complete Civ series. The reason is, that some important circumstances have changed. SOE was created by an international team on an own server with the main purpose to host this scenario. The scenario SOE (Storm Over Europe) gave that server its name and became the SOC site (Storm over Civilization). With the closing of the SOC site, SOE became no longer available. The SOE team is not existing any longer and the problem is I´m a German and the SOE leaderhead and advisor images about Hitler could interfere with German law. In Germany normal portrait images of Hitler are not allowed and it is discussed if there should be an exception for videogames without an ideological background. I hoped that this question could be cleared in the last years, but, as far as I know, this did not happen. The leader images could be replaced by flags, in the German case by a neutral iron cross flag, but this would make Jorde´s great work with many leaderheads of European statesmen of that time (Swizz, Turkish, Irish and so on) obsolete. One solution could be a darkened Hitler leaderhead and advisor graphics as they are used in the German version of HOI.
All these works need time -and this time at present must be used otherwise. I cannot give the scenario 'in other hands' as this holds the danger, that there Nazi-Stuff will be added -what I really don´t want -, especially some completly tasteless buildings, that in my eyes have nothing to do in a game.
These are the reasons why I don´t want any other upload of this scenario and why an unauthorized download link of SOE in this thread had to be deleted.
I have to do the changes myself and SOE will reappear, but this will not happen in the next months.
So King Bulrush unfortunately you have to wait for SOE still longer, even in these present bad times. But what is about playing CCM2 or RARR in that time ?
Best regards
