I am now finished with uploading and sorting in all the files - and I'm exhausted. :D

The only things that are still left are documents. I have another fanfiction, some interviews and a lot of I-War/Defiance related modding tutorials left.

I will sort these into the documents section later and will post links to them here. Have fun! And another big-up to akula65 for keeping this available for newcomers :-)

Thanks! My Desktop looks much better now. I used to have a slideshow of stretched 600x800 screenshots. :pinch:

I've managed to sneak even more reviews from Computer magazines into the website.

Some of the German ones are hilarious - CBS couldn't decide how the game was called. They called it "Independent Wars" and on a later article "I-Wars". But the graphics are pretty cool:



I also like the big 6-pager from CGW. That's what a frakkin' article should look like:



I guess I'm pretty much a Tomb Raider now. Need more I-War things!

Just a little note that doesn't really fit anywhere:

We've now reached over 20.000 downloads since the relaunch of the website, tendency growing. This is amazing!

I am really glad that I have an unlimited traffic plan with my provider.
