Message for Solver,
I have replied to your PM but got an error message saying your PM box is full. Same error report I was getting 2 weeks ago when trying to contact Apolyton.
Contact me through the AOM website please.

Soooo....
Any news on when AoM will be available for download?
stankarp:
I would also suggest contacting wargamer.com to see if they will host the mod for you. Their database contains thousands of scenarios for all types of wargames:

You obviously did not realise how good the games were.

As a 3rd party individual, who owns AoM, here are a few facts about the MOD:
1. AoM Size on CD (zipped) = 426 MB (447,125,504 bytes);
2. The CD (cover) art work is full color original graphic;
3. The CD and the CD case cost money;
4. Shipping from Australia cost money!
To add my opinion onto this stack of raw data here are the following bits:
5. If Stan has indicated that Activision has no problem with the way AoM is being distributed and has, in fact, thanked him for enriching the original CtPII with the MoD, I find the parrot-like repetition of "I still think it's fishy" a complete waste of typing skills.
6. The MOD turns CtPII from a mediocre game into the single best, turn-based civilization building game to date;
7. Stan deserves to be compensated for at least the ink off his printer, the CD/cover, and postage;
8. It'a a pity that the company won't officially market this MOD to really thank/ompensate him for the awesome job he's done.

Thanks for the comment.
Re Activision. I negotiated with Activision for 3 months, they would not agree to a commercial license and in the end, stated they do not support the idea of a super mod or expansion pack. They would not even sell me wholesale copies of the game so I could make them available. I had to buy up, at their suggestion, a few copies on Ebay and Amazon to make them available.
Activision were given the link to the website last November and have not made any contact whatsoever.
The original CTP2 was voted the biggest disappointment of 2001 by one game magazine critic, and I recall seeing at least one guy cruising the forums telling people they were idiots for playing it, up to 2 years after the release. CTP2 was so poorly handled by Activision, it cost them a lot of money and I think they just want to forget about it.

), before he went to Norway, where he became a Christian, got as a job from the Norwegian king to Christianize Greenland and went back. Or rather, tried so. He sailed in the wrong direction and the rest is history.
As I said, Norwegians always claim he's Norwegian and Icelanders that he's Icelandic. It's no big deal, the Icelanders was made up of Norwegians and "owned" by Norway at the time anyway.
But the potato-in-the-mouth is a wery common joke here to. And with the Swedes the distinctivly fe-male their language sounds. Or as some jokers say gayish
