Great! And the complete index is a very good idea.

And lets hope that the secret project is revealed soon...

Neat site! Prometeus is right.
Not very much to add...
Just two points you could consider:
1. Why don't you add BeBro's Cross & Crescent scenario to your Scenario Collection?
2. Ask Stefan Härtel for an update of Darius 2.0

Oh my! I cannot believe I left out Cross & Cresent! Apologies, Bernd, I will add it on the next update (basically the next time I find my self adding new sections).

Yes, St.Leo, I loved that small, yet fun, scenario.

I got into some trouble (a.k.a. flame wars) in the past for suggesting a very nice young man that before uploading anything to a site, the customary thing to do is to ask the author first. But I will not make the same mistake again

I have no idea why an author would object to distribution and preservation of their work on other people's sites. For example, Frederick Meunie asked me to link rather than maintain a copy of his modpacks when I e-mailed him - the reasoning is beyond me.

St. Leo: Neither have I. It's not a matter of objection but of courtesy. I believe (but I could be wrong) that the Apolyton Decency Act has this point beautifully explained.

About Frederic, his point of view seems quite logic to me. It's an excellent way to avoid that multiple versions of a modpack/scenario are floating around simultaneously. I think Steve Strayer had the same politics.

But hey, why did you e-mail Frederic? Cos you're a courteous person, aren't you

Thanks for adding Cross & Crescent, George! But, where is the "Must Play" section, I didn´t find it in the menu?

St.Leo, I downloaded Roman Riots, which was new for me. Great scenario, very good idea!!!

It brings me also to this question: Has someone ever made an entire scenario about the siege of an ancient or medieval city, like Carthago 146 BC or Akkon 1291 AD?

Bernd, you just gave a way one of my secrets!
But the year will be 1453 AD, that should be hint enough.

Bernd, and every one else: What happened is that I uploaded the updates to the downloads file. Every thing is fixed now.

A very good site! I'm kinda surprised to see my Holy Wars scenario there...

2. Ask Stefan Härtel for an update of Darius 2.0

Darius the Great version 2.2 is in the playtesting stage, and parts 1&2 of it are finished concerning the events. You can see the preview here: http://members.xoom.com/SHaertel/Preview.html

like Carthago 146 B

Well, there is my 3d Punic War scenario, but it's not as good as it can be. I will update it someday...

And I thought I was the first one to think of this...
I don't think I will go down to marketplaces but there will be city parts, important buildings like the palaces and perhaps even the Hippodrome.
But as said, this comes after my Viking scenario.

Stefan, I am kind of one of those people who looks for fun themes and what not; it was a pretty fun scenario.

Darius 2.2 looks great; loved 2.0. Good luck.

Thank you for the comments, every one.

Stefan, I like your 3rd Punic War scenario, but my siege idea was a bit different: I would like to see a scenario, where the map is covered completely with only ONE city, like in St.Leo´s Roman Riots, with city walls, gates, places, streets and so on.
As St.Leo, I would use "sub-cities", I mean the important points of a city can be the real civ cities (for instance the citadel, the main gate or the port) which have to be captured by the attackers.
The rest of the city (streets, places) can be set as terrain. I´ve seen this in St.Leos scn, and I really like it, I don´t know if that was also Hendrik´s idea...

Yes, George, I think Roman Riots was one of the best scn ideas recently. I´m wondering why I haven´t found this scn earlier...

And Mathias, I´ll not reveal more of your secrets...
