Depends on who made them. Some people wants to be credited justin the readme, some doesn't care, some wants their tag on everything. I just wanted to know merely to be polite to the author.

Quite right Arth

Here's some Old Testament-era units drawn for beingofone's King David scenario. Have a look at his thread here to DL it:

It's a good scenario that would benefit from some playtesting. Check it out and give him some feedback

The philistines should have horns on their helmets.



Just take a look at the Ramesid reliefs at Medinet Habu. There is one group of sea peoples that have horns on their helmets. They're the pereset/philistines.

Actually the guys with the horns on their helmets in Egyptian reliefs are Shardana, another of the Sea Peoples - the guy at the top right hand corner of the units file is supposed to be a Shardana mercenary in Egyptian service. And yes, if you look closely he's got horns

The Peleset are shown in numerous occasions also on Egyptian reliefs, and they usually have a helmet with a load of feathers on top, as I've tried to depict in the units file:

Up to now I was a bit disappointed in the graphics in a few ancient Egypt scens, but with what you just provided it should be possible to change them and try them at last!

The constantly improved quality & sheer quantity of new units is the real lifeblood for Civ 2 nowdays. Despite its greater audience, I do not think Civ3 can currently aspire to the actual variety (and quality) of new scenarios being produced.
Bottom line: Civ2 is gradualy matching or outperforming Civ3 aesthetically. If we promote Civ2 scenarios more aggresively to the Civ community, we might just spark a Civ2 rennaisance in terms of participation...
People say I am a dreamer...
Fairline, you keep people in the Civ2 ranks with your work. I feel I can't find the words to express my appreciation.

Truly superb chariots - some of the best I have seen.

Would be interesting if you could do a series of chariots through history - from ancient to Roman.

Cheers!

	Ok, about "sports" games . . . . . Increase Your PM Length

This was done once before.

Many years ago, there was a wargame source that some of us used and remember. It was a magazine called Strategy & Tactics, and the gimmick was that each issue came with an Avalon Hill-style-wargame. I recall the issue that the genii at S & T put out with a "sports" wargame called "Scrimmage." It was about (the American version of) the game of football. I didn't like it. At all.

And I wasn't the only one.

In each issue of S & T, a feedback card was included and the results of each feeback survey was also published in the magazine. In the entire history of S & T, there was no other game that received worse feedback ratings than Scrimmage. Everyone hated it. They even got mail about hating it. They didn't ever do a "sports" wargame again.
