Detour of Clan Ronin has submitted a film for 1.2.0 titled Win!

This movie shows that sticking it out till the end can be worth it. Sadly
Barbar had to leave.. he didn't quit because he thought the game was lost and tried to hand over his realms as good as he was able to. A really tough game that was very enjoyable and exciting till the very end!

Ahriman's Gift is slated for a mid-November release--TimeGate Studios plans to have the Ahriman's Gift web site up this week.  For those that don't know what AG is...it is a stand-alone "expansion" to Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns.  Check out the press release, screenshots, and links to previews here.

Note to Mapmakers

Before you submit your maps, I ask that you do the following:

1. Put your name in the Map Description (Created by..., Map by...., whatever) so that players know and remember whose map they are playing.

2. Not necessary but useful for players to get a quick glance at what your map is like...fill out a read me text file.  Check out any of the maps available on the site for download and then alter the text appropriately.

3. Put the map and read me in a nice little .zip file and send them along.

4. AI's don't need to be zipped...Films should be zipped.

Eventually, I'll put up a Submissions Guidelines page.  If you could do these things, you will save me a lot of time.  Thanks. :)

As I bore witness to the tragedy of September 11, 2001 there were so many images that were forever burned into my mind and soul.  But among the more hopeful shots of our valiant rescue workers, New York's Finest and Bravest, and the many volunteers risking their lives to save others, there was one moment that epitomized the Spirit that is America.

Later in the day, I was watching the television coverage when building number 7 collapsed.  As the camera panned in on the destruction of that building, dust, smoke, and debris filled the air, obscuring the view, and as the dead and the dying still waited to be found, there it was on an adjacent building.  Tattered.  Torn.  But still flying.

I could not help but think of the following words:

"Oh say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."

The flag.  My flag.  The flag of the United States of America was still flying.  And it will continue to do so.

Thank you for your time,

Daniel "Chimaeros" Genovese
New Yorker and American

(the above photo is not the flag I saw)

 

Have a new map by Larry Allen, The Evil Horde.  This appropriately named map will keep you busy for a while...
September 10, 2001 

I have added The Annex, an alternate site for downloading when you just can't wait.  It's an extra couple of clicks, but it beats waiting a half-an-hour.
