It's like a chariot race over here at C3H at the moment! In the blue
chariot we can see Angel Draco...Angel
Monty's Monkey in the red one. They're
charging round the virtual track seeing who can do the most updates of the download section.
Well, Angel Draco's just slipped into the lead at the moment, as he's
updated the cities section with 3 new ones, including the Zoo scenario promised by Bob the
Lethargic in the forum a little while back. Should be well worth a look, don't you
think? Come on MM, you can't let Draco get too far ahead, can you?;)
Just 1 word of warning...don't delete the hippodrome when they're going round the track,
or they'll get lost and run all over C3H...
Meanwhile, there's more great stuff for the musically-minded.
Impressions have released the latest .mp3 file from the game. This time, it's
another stirring ditty entitled "Overture". Get it from their download section.
If you're feeling particularly competitive and have already
entered for the Caesar
III Olympics, why not also have a go at theC3 World Cup? Unlike the Olympics, it's being run on a league and
group system (like the real-life world cup). Get the full story and sign up for it here.
For those of
you who want to find out more about the Roman Empire, live in the US and have cable, then
there are some programs on tomorrow that will be of interest. The Learning Channel is doing a mammoth run of its
Rome: Power and Glory series after 12pm EST tomorrow, running for about 6 or 7 hours.
Learn more about it here.
If you do watch it, then let us all know what it was like!
It's a sad day indeed in Caesar III Heaven today. Why?
Because the angelic being otherwise known as the Techanator, Angel Stef, has
succumbed to the lures of real life and left the staff. *sniff* We're all real
sorry to see you go, Stef. Good luck with your studies and everything - I'm sure
they'll all go really well:). Don't forget to drop back from time to time, and also
pop round to Pharaoh Heaven if you've got
some spare moments.
On a much happier note, have you taken part in the Gamestats survey?
If so, then your answers have been noted and read by the staff at GS, and are being put to
use to improve the service that we all provide. If you haven't yet participated,
then what are you waiting for? Get over there and have your say! All forms
are read by the GS staff, and will make a real difference!
It's all about scenarios in C3H's news today. First, spurred on by Angel Draco's
burst of activity yesterday (which he's still recovering from;)), our latest angelic
creation, Angel Monty's Monkey, has added 6 more scenarios to the download section.
There are a couple from scenmeister Gordon Farrell too - they're always worth a
look, as they force you to play a different sort of game than that to which you have
become accustomed in the careers. Remember, we're always on the lookout for new
submissions - if you've got a city that you're particularly proud of, then send it to Draco. If you're more into designing
scenarios, then they can be sent to Monty.
Anything else to Draco please:). Come on
guys, let's keep these two on their feet!
Keeping on the theme of scenarios and map design, if you're just starting
out and want to get to grips with the basics of creating a good scenario, check out Cherub Dragon2's
Tips
for Scenario Designers in the Map Design forum. They're pretty informative, and
will almost certainly point you in the right direction.
Great news for you all today - Gamestats
has had a new pipe installed! No, that doesn't mean that we are now sitting in front
of the fire in our rocking chairs with a rug over our legs, smoking a pipe and remembering
the good old days. Instead, it means that all GS-hosted sites will load wayyyy
quicker than they did before. Since C3H is a GS affiliate, then you'll notice a
difference here too:).
More cool news today from the Windy City - Angel Draco has been a busy
bunny burning the midnight oil to get some more stuff into the downloads section.
He's added another 9 cities, taking the total to over 100. Well, I guess that
just confirms that Caesar III Heaven is the largest C3 fan site on the Net!
Angel Mack has been really busy over the past couple of days getting the
Caesar III Heaven forums
upgraded to the new format. For those of you who have already been, the changes are
pretty clear. However, 1 important thing to mention is that, due to the fact that
the threads are not all shown on one page, there is no longer the 30 post limit to each
thread:).
In these lovely new forums, Cherub Dragon2 has been busy sorting out
competitions. He's come up with the idea of a Caesar III Olympics! Cool, eh?

Are you a bit of a warlord? Fancy placing yourself in command of the
might of the Russian military during WWII? Then GS has got the contest for you this
week! Click on the pic to the right of this and you'll get the chance to win one of
seven copies of Close Combat III: The Russian Front. Sounds a bit cool, eh?
Also today, head over to Pharaoh
Heaven to find out how to learn a bit more about ancient Egypt. However, before
you go, take a look at the forum and check out some of the great posts over there. A
hot topic over there today is how to satisfy your citizens. Check out that thread here.
