Generic Hi post

[Tchrin]

I think I get the honour to be the first non staff member to post :) Just received the press release, and after checking out the site I'm impressed. I'm a long time fan of other city building games (Pharaoh, Emperor, Zeus, Ceasar) & 'deeper' RTSs (Settlers, Cultures), as well as being a long time fan of A Tale in the Desert (http://www.atitd.com) (which very loosely speaking is a MMOG game which revolves around human interaction, technology & city building). So CotN seems right up my street and I'll be watching it's development closely.

Looking around the site, I was wondering to what level the tech tree will be going to? Personally, I'm very much of a fan of deeper the better. Also how dependant on combat is the game? I like the way games like Pharaoh gave you the choice to do a more commerce led game if you wanted.

[Mystic_A]

I would also like to say hi. I´m also a big fan of the city building series, and have gotten every game in it except caesar II and Zeus.

I really look forward to this game, as I like about every game the employees of Tilted Mill has made.

[EmperorJay]

Hello!

I've been checking the site a lot the last couple of days. And finally, it's all up. I've been playing the Citybuilders since C3 and first visited the old Impressions board almost 3 years ago before becoming a regular visitor of HeavenGames and CityBuildingContests. Now.. off to read the stuff on the actual website. :D

[Ken Parker]

Welcome, everyone! It's great to see visitors already, and to have an excuse to make my first post, too.

[Recky]

Time for me to get one on the board as well ;).

I've already said this over at HG, but we're all looking forward to this one - looks like a true classic in the making!

[hotshot1084]

Same here, got to get one post in also. As everyone else is saying... this looks like an awesome game and I can't wait for it to come out. :D

HotShot

[Vaia]

I see several familiar names. :) Hello all.

[GillB]

I'm another who's been watching progress ever since the very start of Tilted Mill and am delighted that there's now a web-site for what looks as though it will be a very interesting and fun game :)

[Draco]

Heya crew! Been anxiously awaiting Tilted Mill's first project since you opened your doors; screenshots look great so far! Call me an Egyptian Tycoon! Especially looking forward to a quality soundtrack! The musical instrament section of the game site was very interesting!

[Caesar Alan]

Hi all,

Good to see so many of the usual suspects gathering already. The anticipation is most definitely building.

My only worry is that I'll need to keep a towel next to my PC to catch all the drool :)

Can't wait...

Alan

[Pecunia]

My only worry is that I'll need to keep a towel next to my PC to catch all the drool :)
Same thing here, plus that I also worry that I'll probably spend more time here than I can spare ;)

[ConLao]

Wow - so many people here.

Great job with the website guys..! You certainly know how to make us drool with anticipation. Yes, Alan - the usual suspects are gathering :)

This is gonna be one of the biggest smashes ever! And I feel proud to be part of it from the beginning...

[Kenet]

Hi all!

CotN is my must-have game. Screenshots are awesome...

[PCDania]

Hi everyone. I've been drooling over this game sinse the first pictures were released. Think I might cancel Christmas this year, no much time for that with CotN on the computer :D

[lady_mags]

Hi everyone, Im a big city builder fan and cant wait for this one. :D :D :D

[Merepatra]

Hi all :) Really glad to see the site up and to be here. I'm looking forward to this game so much. And I was rather thrilled to see the Merepatra noblewoman figure :D

[Miut]

I'm signing in here too! :) Hi everyone else.

[TealWanderER]

Joins the line up waiting patiently for more details. :)
I will also be keeping a towel near my keyboard.

I can't wait ... I know what I am getting for xmas this year :D

Waves to all the familiar faces :D

Laterer

[Jaguar]

Things look awesome. Like I said over at Heaven, I really like the flavour text on the moving figures :) The teasers are certainly great ;)

Nice to see so many familiar faces here too :D

[Pharaoh]

I just want to say that I am thrilled that a new Citybuilding game is coming out. I just loved Impressions Game's citybuilding games, and Tilted Mill are the same people. This is going to be great. :)

[C Franziskus]

Hi everyone,
refreshing to see so many 'junior members'... :D

A new beginning...? or is it? ;)

Looking forward to a lot of fun...

[MarvL]

Gee, does this mean I'm going to have to fire up FrontPage again?

[Celebithil Dae]

heh... Hello all! I am an LOMer, still play it, and love strategy games, and have a growing interest in city builders. Ive played osme of these guy's games, and love them Yeah, high hopes here. I'm just glada this place is UP!

Anyways, glad to see this place is filling already :D Heh, yeah!

[Ammurit]

Hello everyone,

I can't even put into words how happy I am now. I find it very fitting that my first foray into the city-building realm of gaming was with Pharaoh nearly three years ago, and now I'm here to witness the birth so to speak of the next Egyption epic. I was horrible at Pharaoh, but I loved (and still love) it anyway, and it led me into the other city builders that I adore so much now. Okay, enough sappiness. Does this game look gorgeous or what!?

[Elvenwarrior2001]

I'm here too! Another guy from the Old Eight Faiths Inn. The Lords of Magic forum. My buddy CD (Celebithil Dae) seems to have beaten me in registering since he was the one who informed me that the forum was up. (Yay!!!) Hi y'all! And hi Chris (and all of Tilted Mill)! Good to see you guys start your own company. With Impressions Games being shut down, you're a huge bright spot in the gaming industry.

*tackles CD*

Heya, mate! Glad to see ya here! No doubt a lot of Innmates (Lords of Magic Forum people) will be showing up here soon. Hehe.

Mystic: There's a member here with the name "Mystic." Are you the same one from Urak Forums, or another guy who just happens to have that name?

Elven

P.S. WHOOHOO!!! My FIRST post! :D

[Jayhawk]

Hi All
Seeing all these familiar faces makes it look very much like a reunion ;)

[Niempie]

I also wanted to say that I love the site and can't wait until the game is availlable. :p

[unic]

Yay, the site has finally opened! I've been checking it daily for quite a while, waiting for this.

I recognize quite a few of the names for the Heavengames citybuilder forums :) (Though, I'm not all that much of an active poster there...)

[StenSture]

Hi everyone
Great site !! Looking forward to this game alot :)

[Aditya]

The entertainment has arrived.
And now, for my first performance...any requests?

[Sinuhe]

And now, for my first performance...any requests?

What can you do? :D

[Merepatra]

He does a nice dance with fan type things
http://www.immortalcities.com/cotn/images/anim-EF_Fan.gif

He is almost as good as Sinuhe the dancer was in Pharaoh ;)

[Pecunia]

Gee, does this mean I'm going to have to fire up FrontPage again?
No! Please don't! FrontPage is evil and spits out invalid HTML, use some plain text editor instead! ;)

[Hanarky]

Just wanted to say Hi. Having played all CB from Caesar3 on I am more than pleased that the first one here to be made is a new Pharaoh game, which I still love to play, as well as the other ones.
I am not a big poster, but a big lurker and most of all an enthusiastic citybuilder. Pics look awesome and the time to wait will get long. So hurry :D

Hanarky

[Sinuhe]

He is almost as good as Sinuhe the dancer was in Pharaoh ;)

I certainly thought those leaps and bends were impressive! :D

[Keith]

Ah, seems like old times, with many of the names I see here. Some I haven't seen in quite some time.

He is almost as good as Sinuhe the dancer was in Pharaoh ;)That's a she. ;)

[Merepatra]

I know the graphic is of a she... but Aditya on the forums is a he ;)

Sinuhe never minded being a female character in Pharaoh (though he too is a he...or so he assures us ;) ) so guess Aditya will have to get used to it to :D

[Ken Parker]

I was rather thrilled to see the Merepatra noblewoman figure :DLest there be any doubt...yes, she is your namesake. I had a hunch you'd show up here. :)
I know the graphic is of a she... but Aditya on the forums is a he ;) My bad. If an opportunity to reuse the name should arise, I will correct the gender mistake. Those vowel-ending names always throw me.

[Ticaios]

Hi all!

It's nice to see some of the same old faces here in a new forum... I don't have time to write a long message here, but I just wanted to say hi and register.

I hope we'll get the game within a couple of months, even to the most distant North. (If someone doesn't know, I'm a Finn.)

Ticaios

[Afterburner]

Wow. It's old home week. I doubt that my name will be much recognized (though my Flexi-Block is mentioned in the first, sticky post of the Pharaoh forums at Heavengames), but I certainly recognize lots of you folks.

Shall we take bets as to when Brugle will show up?

[wailand]

Hi All, looking forward to new CotN game, pity we have to wait until the end of the year. Anyway as the saying goes "good things comes to those who wait"

[lubo]

Hi everyone,

just wanted to say 'hello'. I'm a huge fan of the city-building games, and can't wait for CotN to come out.

[Azeem]

Greetings. :) I would like to say "hello" on behalf of the "Lords of Magic" community. We're also generally anxiously hoping you'd create a spiritual sequel to "Lords of Magic" someday. ;)

[Grumpus]

Hi Gang!

I could swear I've run across some of you folks somewhere.

One of my brats has gifted me with a copy of Dreamweaver MX, so this game might give me a chance to once more clutter up the internet with another "Which Way to ......".

We'll see.

[Aditya]

My bad. If an opportunity to reuse the name should arise, I will correct the gender mistake. Those vowel-ending names always throw me.
Hehe. That'd be nice. I thought it was a 'she' myself, but as Mere said...I won't be complaining and don't worry...you won't be the first ones to have taken my name as being female. Silly English language... :rolleyes:

[bobT]

:eek: hmmm.

Interesting place, and great list of peeps :)

GL Tilted Mill, all the best to the whole lot of you, and great to see so many familiar faces.

bobT

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Well...I only know those from the Lords of Magic forums. Speaking of which:

Hello Azeem! Good to see you've joined us (CD and myself) here!

And yes, the whole community hopes for a game at least in the spirit of Lords of Magic, if not a direct sequel, since rights to the franchise are probably a bit hard to come by. But a Fantasy/Strategy game just like LoM would be great!

Oooh...Children of the Nile should be good!!! :)

Elven

[mouse]

It's so cool to see so many old friends and all of us looking forward to this great looking game :D

Hi everybody nothing like a city builder game to bring everybody out :rolleyes:

Been a city builder since C3 which was love at first sight, CotN looks so good can hardly wait for it. *drools more*

Just know Tilted Mill has a real winner here :D

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Nice to meet you Mouse. I'm a huge C3 fan myself. Great upgrade for C2 which I also played and enjoyed. Did you come over from one of the other forums? Like the Casesar 3 forum?

Elven

[Pecunia]

Nice to meet you Mouse. I'm a huge C3 fan myself. Great upgrade for C2 which I also played and enjoyed. Did you come over from one of the other forums? Like the Casesar 3 forum?
Quite some people here (including mouse) come from HeavenGames (http://www.heavengames.com/), which has fansites and forums (http://caesar3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/caeforumscgi/Ultimate.cgi) for all of the Impressions citybuilders since Caesar3 :)

[BalkothsBane]

Well I am another LoMer. I was on the Impressions forums way back when. So yea, hi!

Andrugan Theollis

Elven, CD, Azeem...sup?

[mouse]

Hi Elvenwarrior yep a city builder from C3 onward :D Did you play any of the other city builders Pharaoh, Cleo, Zeus, Poseidon, Emperor? If you did bet if you look in the credits you'll find alot of the folks that posted here ;)

[EmperorJay]

I must say it's great to see so many familiar faces all over the place. The guys from Tilted Mill I know (altough not personally), I've seen Azeem around over at Sierra on the Emperor forum, Keith's from Sierra and way back from the Imps boards. And of course, let's not forget all of you from CBC and/or HG.

[Lannes]

Hi all,

I used to be a regular at the Caesar "plebs are needed" II forum. So long ago I can't remember what screen name I had back then. Anyway, CotN is definitely a title I'll keep an eye on.

Lannes

[ET FLAVIUS]

Just dropped in to say "Hi" to so many familiar usernames..ok, ok so many longtime friends and acquaintances. :p

Alas, another "many sleepless-nights" game in the making...bless you TM and all within..plus a cheerful Yay!! :D

Definitely..sentiments shared by the majority.

[Granite Q]

Hi folks, sorry I'm a bit late arriving....
I've been a tad busy lately....
Hence I only caught up with progress this morning...

So many well known names too :rolleyes:

[SHODAN]

Just wanted to say hi also, so hey! :)

[Isetemkheb]

Just thought I'd say Hi. I also see many familiar names here.

I've been a fan of citybuilders since C3 and have played all the Impressions games. My favorite is still Pharaoh so I'm very impatiently waiting for CotN to be available. From the screenshots and the few hints from the Tilted Mill people it looks like it will be a great game.

I'm happy to see the website and forums for CotN are finally up. It will help keep me occupied until it's available.

[Ineti]

Nice to see so many familiar names. I lurked almost exclusively on the Heaven boards, but I got a lot of good tips and advice from there. Hope to do so again. :)

[Lord Seti]

Greetings. Pharaoh was my favorite of all the City Builders (and is still one of my all time favorites) so when I saw CoN I started jumping and howling for joy.

I can hardly wait! :D

[klingon9]

Hi all!

Looks as though there are many people i will get dream about this game with untill it comes out.

[Timhotep]

Hi everyone!

Nice to see all those familiar names here!

[Jaguar]

Grumpus, is that a promise?

I can't wait to get to the next "Which Way to..." site :)

And yes, lots of familiar faces and a few new ones to me, but it looks like almost everyone knows at least a few others here :)

Sinuhe, I haven't "seen" you around in ages :) Nice to see you here.

And GQ, I am not feeling sorry for you for being busy. You know what you've unleashed on us! Silly Emperor competition is eating up all my spare time. And I already have so little.

[G-Force]

Yet another person saying hi!

I learned about the game a week ago and was very pleased to notice the site up and running.

The game looks really good and seems to have everything one could ever want.

G-Force

[robroy]

Hello everyone
Nice to see so many in here already. Like all of you I can't wait to see the game :D :D :)

[parrotslave]

Hello all!

Pharaoh has been a favorite for years. I've tried the other City Building games but always come back to Pharaoh.

COTN sounds so good. I haven't looked forward to a new game this much ever.

Playing city building games adds an interesting dimension to looking at current events. I keep thinking 'Rebuilding Iraq' or 'Rebuilding Afghanistan' would make interesting City Building games.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Mouse: The Imps games I have are: Lords of Magic Special Edition, Caesar II, Caesar III, Civil War Generals I. I've wanted to buy the rest, but there are monetary retrictions. ;)

Parrotslave: The main reason I wouldn't want to see a city building game on things like Irag/Afganistan is that politics are too heavily involved since it's a current event. And politics is not really something I want in games.

Elven

[Jayhawk]

You should definitely try to get Pharaoh (and whet your appetite before CotN hits the shelves ;))

ElvenYou can get the entire series of the old citybuilders in a combination package called The Biggest Creators of Empires. It should run you less than the cost of a single new game and contains Caesar III, Pharaoh/Cleopatra, Zeus/Poseidon, and Emperor.

Or look for Great Empires Collection 2 which has them all except for Emperor.

Little bit late to come here for a fan like me :)

Can´t wait to see if CotN can top Pharaoh my Favorit.

Ammy!!! How's the Inn's momma? Good to see you've joined the party. Make sure you hold up that LoM 2 sign as well. ;)

[Kiya]

Hi everyone

I love City Building games and Pharaoh is my all time favourite. CotN sounds great with its new aspects of CB. And furthermore Egypt and its history are very interesting.

I'm delighted at this site: friendly lively discussion, lots of posts and interesting viewpoints, useful hints at literature and sites about Egypt... :)

[Atlantean Relic]

Hello, I've been a fan of the citybuilder since Pharaoh. Great series and I hope COTN continues the greatness.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Hello, and welcome! I'm glad to always see more participants here at the boards. :)

I came over from the Lords of Magic Eight Faiths Inn, and it's newest forum, as well as another Lords of Magic commuinity. But I've always loved Imps (now TM) and Lords of Magic was not the only game of their's I played and loved. C3 was one of the one's I love. City-building. I actually started on C2, but eventuall C3 came out. I loved their Civil War General games too, even though I only have the first one. :( Anywhoo...welcome. :)

Elven

[Celebithil Dae]

EW, get the second! (CWGen i mean)

[JuliaSet]

Hello Everyone,

Indeed, its nice to see so many old faces/nicks around. Most importatly to see the old IMPs reuniting to make more magic! Welcome back IMPressive developers. We are all keen to support you!

Yay for TM and the wonderful new game!
JuliaSet

[Elvenwarrior2001]

CD: Is it that good? What stuff did they add in? I can prob get it cheap anyhow, so I probably ought to. :D

Oh...and to the lovely lady (I am assuming that the "Julia" part means your a lady, if you happen to be a guy please do not be offended, or else...I could be in trouble...[and you know what that mean CD ;)]. Yes Imps is back as TM to work more magic...and I'm hoping they eventually become Lords of Magic (2)...

Yeah! Good to see you here too JuliaSet! :)

[Celebithil Dae]

*sigh* Im overworked as it is!

But anyway, yeah, they added a WHOLE lot to CWGII Many mor battles and campaigns (think west, and the peninsula, and the valley, and then some) and some naval elements (mostly in the west though) and actually, sevetral more unit types. You should be able to get it cheap (id hope anyways) its not exactly near new... I'd recommend the upstep.

And do stay out of trouble.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Hehe. I will for your sake. I can't have you interrupt all you activities to come and shield me all the time. ;)

[Tar]

Hi all. I'm really new to city building games, but am really enjoying the challenge of Pharaoh. It's the only city building game I have ever played, and it's both fun and sometimes frustrating. Seems like a lot to keep up with, but it's getting easier (better.)
Anyway, looking forward to CoTN, and hope to learn enough by release time to ease the learning curve some.

[Zaphenath-Paneah]

Its nice to see so many faces err make that names from the Imps forums. :D
Cheers
