    5:00PM EST  Some New Wings in Heaven!
    We have added two new members to the AOE Heaven team of Angels.  The first is Cherub Zeus, who will be shedding in his former title to work more on Net Campaign and The Government Center.  The other one is Ogre, formally of Ogre’s Age of Empires, who will be renovating the Town Center and updating the links.

    So without further adieu, I present to you:

    Angel Ogre and Angel Zeus

    2:00AM EST  Caesar’s Successor has been named!
    Caesar 3’s that is.  Impressions has decided to make a change in their Caesar series and opt for a new area of the world, ancient Egypt!  What does this mean for our jolly Angels over at Caesar 3 Heaven?   Why, it means they will become our jolly Angels at Pharaoh Heaven!  Now, remember this site is under extreme construction, but you can be sure it will be a fine heir to the C3H name!

    2:00AM EST  Hell on Earth!
    It seems that one of our own, Angel Alexander, was caught in the terrible Brazilian Earthquake that has killed many and injured thousands.  Fortunately, he and his family were unharmed, but not all were as lucky.   Our thoughts are with you Alex, and we all hope you stay in one piece.

    2:00AM EST  Wish in the Mist!
    Another fine AOE/ROR site, Mist’s Town, is giving away a free copy of The Rise of Rome.  Small potatoes you say?  Well, this isn’t any ordinary copy of ROR.  If you want to find out what’s so special about it, venture on through the Mist

    8:00PM EST  Mod Pack Mania!
    In the scenario design forum, there is allot of talk about designing new mod packs.  I was messing around with it a bit yesterday and found that .SLP Studio by Joeseph Knight makes the whole process extremely easy to do.  Get it from our Utilities Page.

    What are some of your ideas for new mod packs?

    3:30AM EST  Granary Update!
    The word from our Granary guru Grenadier the Great Angel (hey kids, that’s called an alliteration!) is that 1 new utility, 2 new ROR campaigns, 4 new AOE campaigns, 4 new ROR multiplayer scenarios, 3 new AOE multiplayer scenarios, 12 new ROR single player scenarios, and 6 new AOE single player scenarios have been added to the granary.  Whew!  What is this new utility you ask?

    Another snow mod pack 🙂  It turns the grass tiles to snow tiles.  The snowy trees are still there from the original snow mod pack by Pusbucket.   The new one is byMike Pulsifer.  Nice job Mike!  Here is a request to would-be mod makers out there…

    Make a Heaven mod with clouds, Angels, Cherubs, halos, harps, wings, even God if you want.  Maybe form a group to complete the task and call yourselves a “Mod Squad!”  Good luck!

    By the way, if you are mentioning AOE Heaven’s news, please give a link to this page or another page in Heaven and NOT directly to a file.  Thanks.

    3:30AM EST  Apology to Angel Archaic
    It seems that in yesterday’s news, Angel Archaic got the impression that I made him look like a total “hard core ghetto” newbie that stinks at ROR, when in fact he is an excellent player.  One of the best no doubt.  Only an elite player like himself would attempt two consecutive villager rushes, even after the first was easily thwarted by Washizu. So, in afterthought, I offer my apologies to Archaic, and the villager rushing community, for discrediting their name, and I live in fear of the day Archaic tries to mount an attack with a boneless unit   😉

    3:30AM EST  New Gamestats Contest!
    What game has taken up allot of my time recently besides ROR?  Only the best First Person Shooter, in my opinion, since Quake!   A bunch of Half-Life stuff is being given away, so go over and check it out right now!  I even took most of those screen shots for Justice T of gamestats 🙂

    5:30PM EST  Good Time had by All!
    I got two nice games in last night, both of which I was on the winning side.  I fended off villager rushes fromAngel Archaic and Cherub Sting.   I also played a nice Tool Age only game where I teamed with Sting and Wolfpack against Archaic and Macrat.  That screenshot is me fending off sting and archaic’s villager rush.

     

     

    Here’s one fromt he “Tool Age only” game.

    5:30PM EST  Parrrrrrty!
    Everyone meet in the Palantine room of the Zone for some forum partying at 7:00 PM CST, 8:00 PM EST.  You’ll see this Angel there for at least one game 🙂

    4:30PM EST  A Print Article on the Rumble for Rome!
    Got a call from my sister today, and she told me about an article on the Rumble for Rome in the Tech Life section of the Philadelphia Inquirer.  If you want to read the online version of the article, it’s up at this address.

    4:30PM EST  Want to Get Games for Free?
    Gamestats is looking for someone who is a terrific writer to do their game reviews.  You won’t get paid, but you can keep any games they send you.  Sounds like a decent job to me!  Check outGamestats for more info.

    4:30PM EST  Warning To All Zone DM’ers!!
    Beware of TE_Krusher a frequenter of the Zone & to the Maimin_Matty rated room! HE IS MY SON & has been instructed since birth in the fine arts of warfare by the Masters of Heaven … Tread lightly Ager’s else ye be destroyed by his Mighty Persian Elephants or Glorious Greek Cat / Hele Combo!
    If you manage to survive him (run away & hide more likely) there is another force to be reckoned with. Beware of sir_shackleton, roommate of Washizu the WiseAngel Washizu tells me that sir-shackleton is a master of “No Siege DM’s”!

    2:45PM EST  Onionjon unmasked!
    Well, it had to come to an end sometime.  The infamous Onionjon created in the Story Time Thread has been revealed to be…

    Well, you can see who it was here on this funny Onionjon web site.  Crongrats to C3 Heaven’sReckless Rodent for guessing the correct answer and winning a great new mouse!   (Note:  This wasn’t an Age of Empires Heaven contest, so we aren’t responsible if you don’t get the prize, although we could write nasty things about Onionjon 😉  I doubt that will happen, though 🙂

    2:45PM EST  Rebates should be coming in for ROR!
    I bought The Rise of Rome when it came out and sent the rebate coupon back pretty quickly.   I just got the $10 check (or cheque for you Canadian types), so expect yours soon if you haven’t got it already.  Woo hoo, ten dollars!  Now I can buy a pizza with it.  Papa John’s here I come!

    5:45PM EST  Any Sleuths Among Us?
    It seems the Veni, Vidi, Vici forum has been quite taken with the OnionJon fellow they created in the Story Time thread.  One forumer has taken this as his new name and announced a prize to the first forumer that can guess his identity with a reasonable explanation.  His first post was:

    It’s me Onionjon!
    you forumers gave me life. You shall not know yet who I really am, but you know me! Clever the one to discover my AoEH name… 
    The one to succeed and prove he’s correct will receive a gift(not joking) and be promoted to super clever forumer. I will remain until I’m being discovered (with a logical explanation of course)

    The second was:

    Gentlemen, I’d like to remind you a little something. Onionjon is not going to be discovered today. You will need several days or even weeks to unmask him. Look at Onionjon’s posts over AoEH forums to dissect his personality. Each forumer shall receive 3 attempts and of course, will have tojustify his answers. I might once in a while give up some hints… but only on special occasions. The first special occasion is the conclusion of my life story. It would be great if you, mighty forumers, would finish my biography in about 50 additional posts… Of course, I shall be very happy with the extraordinary ending you are going to compose for me!

    Concerning the precious trophy, I’m not sure what Onionjon is going to give away, but it will surely be something nice, like an Official version of Rise of Rome or maybe one of the greatest mouse you could ever find on the market!!! 

    Maybe the Heaven’s Angels are listening and will advertise the contest?!

    5:00PM EST  Archangel Interview by Ogre!
    Another fine site, Ogre’s Age of Empires, has an interview posted with ES Webmaster Mike “The Archangel” McCart.  It’s a great read if you’d like to know more about running web sites and how much is required of successful web masters.

    Ogre:  What do you think is one thing that a fansite webmaster should do to become more successful and maybe even land a job at a gaming company?

    Archangel:  Try to stand above the rest, never speak down to other webmasters or flame people or other products on your site. It’s a real turn off to most fans, and it will work against you in the long run.

    You have to commit at least 4 hours daily to your site. Allot of this time involves checking Gaming News Sites, HTML updates, talking to fans, answering email.

    5:00PM EST  New AOE/ROR Ladder
    Tired of other AOE ladders or ratings?   You might want to check out Burb’s Age of Empires Ladder.  Right now the ladder is led by the “Better Than Life” team.  Looks like a different crowd than the zone, because I didn’t recognize any of the names there.

    3:00PM EST  The Stages of AOE Addiction
    Do you dream of Horse Archers and Scythe Chariots?  JustGreg has posted the steps that he now sees clearly define his AOE addiction.

    1. You get the game, and you can’t stop playing. You play into the long hours of the night in single player for a while.
    2. You discover some AoE sites, you start to play multiplayer. You play into the long hours of the night and you read the forums and post stuff
    3. You start to make some friends in the AoE community. You tend to play more IP games and you play less with people you don’t know.
    4. You start to play only with people you know, you play a lot of IP, and you play most games at the forum party.
    5. You play casualy, you play maybe a game every other day or two, only with people you know. You play a lot of other games multi player more often.

    I would add a #6.  How many of you have reached this stage in your AOE life?

    6.  You know all the nicknames and abbreviations for every civ/unit in the game.  You have many inside jokes with the people you play with at least 3 times a week, usually like 6 times a week.  If you can’t get a game with them, you head to the zone.  You start your own AOE website, and update it like a mad man.  You get hosted by AOE Heaven, and then work on that site because of your ever increasing desire for more AOE related exposure!  But ARRGGHHH, you get eliminated in the 5th round in the Rumble for Rome Tournament by maimin_matty!  Why’d I have to play HIM of all people!  My girlfriend really wanted that trip to Rome…

    Um…  sorry about that.  Guess  I got a little carried away 😉   If you’d like to offer your own signs of AOE addiction, check out this forum thread.

    1:00AM EST  Want to hear a good story!
    In the Veni, Vidi, Vici forum, now moderated by Angel Archaic, there is a thread where a story is being written part by part, by forum posters.  Go and read the adventures of Onion Jon here.
