Re: Hadrian\'s Warlords 3000

yeah that sounded about right, there were a few attempts at that.

Re: Hadrian\'s Warlords 3000

It never went online though...

Re: Hadrian\'s Warlords 3000

what didn't go online? Ark of Eons? Wasn't that a black and grey site with copies of websites hosted on it?

Re: Hadrian\'s Warlords 3000

It was always in the "to be coming" stage... It is possible that it was available in one of those hidden sections on SE.org, but not to the rest of us.

Re: Hadrian\'s Warlords 3000

The Ark actually was online for a few months until SpaceEmpires.whatever it was just disappeared. It had a few old, old sites. I remember he archived the old old EarthClan site among others.

Never a bad idea but there are far too many tricks that unbalance the game for those that dont know them.

hehehe, agree old foe... but think most the games are like you said (SE4 too, by the way!).

The ladder were the good old days,

Agree again. Think the Ladder times were very funny.

Never liked too much the previous age when Microft ruled thousands of galaxies (yes, I have wrote galaxies), in the SE3 times with pure rpg.
Lord Microft had a "massive" empire, but just because claimed it... he never needed to play an Se3 game to win a war.
By the way, the real person under Hadrian is named Theron Williams (you can see him in the credits for SE4 and SE4G beta testers).
Well, I'm pretty sure that Microft was a previous character played by Theron (although he never admited that, I had mails from Microft and Hadrian, having the same IP... and think still could recover those mails from a backup!).

although at the end it seemed like everyone was at war. Or atleast they were all at war with us, evil wasnt apprecited then

hehehe, but I was far to be really good... many times just pretended to act moved by good reasons! (hehehe withouth the spirit to start a controversy about this matter, I was inspired by the policies of some countries in the real world, specially USA!).

At the end, think the Chaos Contingency failed just because the players where not strong enough... and to be really evil think you must be strong!
Of course that you must remember the CC moto: "The weak shall perish"... well it happened to the CC... but I must admit that the fun and the Ladder perished with them!

Re: SE3 memories: LoE, CC, Oceania, Ladder

Too bad there wasnt a site like PBW back then for se3 to help get some of those old games done. It also took us alittle while to catch onto the se3 trick till the near end of the ladder. It was easy to look weak when playing against you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Unfortunately i think se4 helped spell the end for the ladder with the game changing and some of the players refusing to ever use it for the ladder.
