Aug 2, 2002 - The revamp of AOEH gets uploaded
for the first time
Apr 2, 2003 - Lorenzo wins the Snakeeyes Contest.
May 15, 2003 - Amazingly, AoEH has
now lasted for 6 years!
2004 - A very busy year behind the scenes for AoEH.
Lorenzo
becomes AoEH's second Cherub as Peter resigns. We try to get the
Granary converted to an online system, both to free up Seraph time
and empower the rest of the staff, giving them more interactivity
with the site.
A couple of contest attempts have mixed results and throughout the
year we see a growth in top quality scenarios from the likes of
Andrea Rosa, who earns a review from Ingo, and FireLegion_56, whose
later scenarios are rapidly becoming works of art. FL56 also
recreates
beautiful new graphics for ratings in the Granary but sadly these
have to go when we change to the online system.
For a seven year old game to still receive top notch scenarios is
outstanding enough, but to suddenly have a new utility developed
for it is truly amazing, yet in 2004 scenario designer and forumer
BBalazs gives us his Cty File Editor.
January 2005 - The new Granary is operational with a few
bugs that can be sorted out in time. After the mixed results of
previous contests we start the year with our biggest contest
ever!
May 28, 2007 - Phill Phree leaves as Seraph after revitalising the site in the last seven years. Dr Lorenzo takes over as Seraph. In addition, the Timeline is updated for the first time since 2005!
