October 20th — Missing file arriving
home, while I'm writing this text
Groan,
grind, I can hear my mailbox chugging along trying to digest the huge Olympics Pack Fiona
found lurking in a dark corner of her hard disk.
I'd like to say:
"Thank you very much", to Fiona, and
"Please, don't send it to me anymore" to everybody else.
Anyroad, I've got the file and am uploading it as
I write. Okay, so I spent the time waiting for it to arrive in my mailbox, by posting on
the various forums...
Some time later...
Okay, it should be here. Careful now it's 6.7Mbytes.
October 19th — One of our files is
missing and some others just arrived
Most of you will
remember the Caesar 3 Olympics. Well, on eof our forumers found out the OlympicsPack.zip
went missing if there is any of you out there that has the complete pack still somewhere
on his or her hard disk, could he or she please drop me a line? Or better mail it to me at
Angel Jayhawk.
Angel Monty's Monkey dropped me a note telling me that he's
uploaded another 10 scenarios, making it a grand total of 199 scenarios. As expected, they
can be found in the Download
Section
I hope to update the download statistics in tomorrow's news.
More internal news, Pharaoh Heaven is on the look out for a cherub
with graphical skills. If you're interested read the Pharaoh news carefully
and follow Angel Reckless Rodent's instructions.
Last but not least, I hear that Microsoft
is going to put up the Asheron's Call beta for grabs on their site. Until midnight October
24th you can stroll along the green fields of Dereth and interact with all the other
players.
You can find the Asheron's Call Open Trial here.
Be warned, though, it is not for the faint hearted. The download is 53Mbytes big.
We actually have more
scenarios reviewed, in this case it's Trevor Hall's High
Desert and Bob the Lethargic's Numidia
- King Massinissa. Bob was also kind enough to provide us with the complete, updated,
unadulterated version of the BTL
Enterprises Catalog.
Oh, if anybody wants to start working on
a new signature, it seems there's a new class started in the Test
forum.
Most of the Pharaoh Heaven Angels have just had a meeting to
discuss what's going to happen over there when the game's released in a few weeks
time. Believe me, it'll be great when it all comes together. In a similar
vein, keep an eye on PH tomorrow if you want to help out over there. I'll reveal
more when I update there tomorrow.
There's
something kinda important over at Tzar Heaven
today too. I'd appreciate it if you'd all toddle over there and take a look at
what's going on. Fan power is needed once more!
Formulare,
Formulare, Formulare. So ist das Leben in Deutschland.
Oops, got to get out of German mode. (cue sound of cogs
whirring, accompanied by a squealing sound. Click)
Ahh, much better. Now, on to the
news thingie that I'm here to do:
We have a new Cherub at HGS! Cherub
Gustavia has joined the Pharaoh Heaven team,
and I'm sure she'll prove to be a most valuable addition. Click
here to send your congratulations, if you haven't already done so over at Pharaoh Heaven.
Here's a mail from Angel Draco that I
found nestling in my inbox this morning:
I
added three new cities today. One short of 200!! Two of them are by Crassus
Pauper and are impressive indeed. He has reached 100 prosperity within 11 years in
two different maps! An amazing feat!
Well, since it's
been so long since I last did this, I hope I haven't forgotten how it all comes
together. Anyways, here goes nothing:
Angel Et Flavius's Where in the World thread is still going strong.
It's still in installment
12, but it looks like it'll head into 13 (lucky for some) before the day is out.
Definitely a record.
We also have news from the
campaignmeister himself, Thanh2002, who has decided to postpone
his Halloween Campaign to Thanksgiving. Follow this
link to sign up for what might well be one of the last C3 campaigns ever - don't
forget that Pharaoh will hit the shelves
sometime in the next month (though I think we can safely say that it isn't going to be out
in October). Perhaps it's time to start thinking about Pharaoh campaigns?
Our hosts, GameStats, have a contest this week that all Age of
Kings fans (of which I am one - that game is just awesome) will be interested in. Click here to
see how you can win a copy of the strategy guide before it hits the shelves. Here's
