I remember the days when I would log into this site daily. Then there was a long spell of sporadic involvement... perhaps 1 or 2 visits every other month. And here we are. I just logged on and checked my last log in day... it was in 2011. Damn doesn't time fly when you can't find time to have some fun. Where did all that time go?
I have just scanned a few posts... a new modding section (well, new for my eyes)...
Anyway, I started a project something like 4 years ago and wanted to get it finished off. I'm not sure if many people remember, but I wanted to do something titled "Age of Heroes". New units, buildings etc. Essentially an expansion of a game I started playing in 1997. Wow.
Why? Well, I have been trying to tie up some old projects in the last couple of months and this was one that was pretty high up the "I wish I got around to finishing that" list. Having a blast on the HD re-releases of Age of Empires got me thinking back to the days when I was filtering through the EMPIRES.DAT file on a daily basis.
I guess I have loads to catch up on. I see we have VEG's resolution thing on board. Someone fixed the save game crash (please tell me how!). Plus plenty of my own questions...
1. Has anyone figured out how to add new civs without crashing?
2. Has anyone managed to get the AI to train more than 50 units?
3. Did we ever figure out how to add more icons with the current SLP/DRS tools on site (units were fine, but didn't it used to crash if you tried to add more tech icons?)
So take this as an intention to come out of retirement and finally get this Expansion released.
