with a thousand thanks to Tosa we have a temporary forum running,

simply use this link Temporary Forum

you can use your standard ikonboard username and password to log-in,

nothing fancy, but it's a place to chat until the host gets the original forum up again.

Cheers,

Forums down - Wednesday, July 28, 2004
Hello,

The forums crashed the server too many times yesterday. If I understand the message: another site is brought down due to its crashing as well.

The host will move the forums to yet another server, but that may take up to 48 hours.

I'll try to setup a temp forum on my homeserver (but time is something I don't have at the moment, I'm very sorry).

Announcements from Clan Wars Castle: - Wednesday, July 28, 2004
After a delayed start, extended Rounds, and fierce competition, it is my great pleasure to announce that the Clan Wars Competition 2004 Winter Games now has a Champion.

From the 28 contending Clans, two Finalists have emerged victorious to fight in the Final Round. The Clans Takiyama and Silent Assassins.

Congratulations to both Clans for making through the four Round melee, but as you know there eventually can be only one winner.

After their heroic encounter this weekend, the SILENT ASSASSINS now stand as the undisputed Champions of the CWC 2004 Winter Competition.

ALL HAIL THE GRAND KNIGHTS OF THE SILENT ASSASSINS – CHAMPIONS OF THE CLAN WARS COMPETITION 2004 WINTER GAMES!!!




Wow! With 28 Clans competing, that means there were a minimum of 112 individual players in the first Battle of the first Round alone. This was a huge contest, even by CWC standards. A truly awesome event!

Thanks to all, for your participation.

To round out the end of the Medieval Total War Era, the CWC is running two simulations Contests. The one, called the Knights Of Summer, provides a last chance for Registered Clans who are not involved in the second Contest, to enjoy the challenge of one last CWC MTW 4v4 competition before Rome Total War comes out. The KOS is already in progress.

The other, The Clan Wars Competition Grand Championship, will be the culmination of 2003 Spring, 2003 Summer, 2003 Fall, and 2004 Winter Competitions. The Finalists from these Contests will come together one more time, to join in Battle against each other for the title of CWC Grand Champion of all Medieval Total War.

Rome Total War Screenshots - Friday, July 16, 2004
We have a heap of screenshots of Rome Total War online.
Some are available in different resolutions and a few of these images are quite large so some patience may be required while they load.
Hopefully we managed to find some rare ones for you.

I would be very pleased to see some of these used to create Desktop Wallpapers,
of which we have a decent collection online here,
and you can submit your own for inclusion in our collection in the Colosseum forum

But what you really came here to read about are the Screenshots, view them all here

Enjoy,

forum interruptions - Thursday, July 15, 2004
Konnichiwa

there may be some temporary forum interruptions for the next few hours while we back up and prune the forums in an attempt to reduce the number of errors generated by an overworked SQL database.

Nothing will be lost forever from most of the forums,
we will archive as much as we can,
but the tavern may lose a number of the old threads, though they are very very rarely recalled/refreshed anyway.
If worst comes to worst i have the entire content on my hard drive.

In the near future we will be looking at upgrading the forum software, so we wont have to go through all this hassle again.

Cheers

Forums - Wednesday, July 14, 2004
Hello,

There were some problems with the forums lately. The host moved some things around and there seem to be other problems now.

The host and I are in different timezones, so we have difficulty to coordinate. I'll do my best to bring back the original forum as soon as possible, if that fails, an emergency install will be made. I'll post the URL here.

Thanks for your patience.
