I can speak Hungarian. I am Civ and CTP fun, and my spare time I write a few article for this on-line magazine too. I can write in English on a level too, but for me the translation is also difficult because of my limited English vocabulary. Shortly: I used a maybe may-june-july release of preview code to write a few impression about the game. Of course it was just to show a few new cool looking unit, building and wonder, but wasn't a finished game. The article dosn't contain anything what you cannot read here already. After the game release I will write a new review about the game. Probably I will send the English translation of the article to Mark and Dan to put it in the site.

BTW I was very happy to see somebody find my article even if it is in Hungarian.

Végre egy magyar!

Mar Belgiumban is vannak magyarok?
Kulomben en Erdelyben elek, pontosabban Temesvaron.

I'm happy that I don't have to translate that article, after all. You are using some nice words, Blade, and I spent all my free time yesterday searching in dictionaries. Fortunately all my free time were only a few minutes ("ugyan olyan jól lehet játszani egy elefántcsontból faragott és gyémántokkal kirakott, mint akár egy kenyérbélbol gyúrt és cipoboksszal feketére festett készlettel" Nice to read, but a nightmare for a translator)

I never thuoght my article was easily translateable and I never intended to write it such a way. I tried to write in such a way as to raise interest in the CTP2 game and the genre as a whole. I shall try to find a way to translate the article into English, so everybody on Apolyton can read it.

Köszi a segítségért mindenesetre!

Hi Magyarcrusader,

No I haven't got TOT. I tried it but I stuck to my golden oldie CIV2 and the newer SMAC and CTP. Do you speak Hungarian BTW?

Hi Bladerunner. I remember you from a while back, but I don't think you will remember me. When CTP1 first came out, Harlan Thompson was trying to make a WW2 scenario for it, and we were going to help him along with John Petroski. I was using my real name back then, Michael Jeszenka, instead of this handle. I made a ToT scenario for the Scenario Design contest sponsored by HAC (an apolyton hosted site). Although the scenario is mostly fictious, it is set in the late 1400s where you get to play as the Hungarians under Matyas I and fight Vlad the impaler, not to mention a horde of Turks. I thought you may be insterested since nobody has made a scenario playable as the Hungarians, but since you don't have it, oh well. Actually, my scenario isn't released yet and won't be until January of 2001.

Sorry, I don't know Hungarian , yet. I live in California and I'm finishing my last year in high school. Afterwards I'm going to try to get into a university in Budapest and change all that.

Oh, of course I remember you! We were waiting for the CTP1, and we were dissapointed when we got it. I hope (and I think, because I played with the preview version :-) )the new version will be much better, so we can start to do i.e. the WWII scenario, or something else. BTW I have no information about the new scenario language, because the CTP2 preview version used the old one, and it contain no editor whatsoever.

Welcome back my friend!
