Thanks man.   Well it's been another bunch of busy months and much to my surprise PC Gamer UK & US decided to publish a special report on my Civ2 Heroes 2 mod (posted earlier in this thread) and also covered my other Civ2 modding work such as the CnC scenario above and my up and coming Red Alert 2, Dune 2, and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri scenarios for Civ2. So I guess I better hurry and release another mod below heh! This time is another big one, the Red Alert 2 Siege of New York scenario! RA2 Final Dev Diary 07 – Sounds, Videos, GUI, Diplomacy & more for the Civ2 C&C Red Alert 2 Scenario: In this final seventh dev diary we overhaul and finalise all the sound effects, videos, GUI colours & backgrounds, diplomacy, and city building icons with RA2 assets. https://www.moddb.com/mods/civilization-2-red-alert-2-siege-of-new-york-scenario/news/final-dev-diary-07-sounds-videos-gui-diplomacy-more-for-the-civ2-red-alert-2-scenario . RA2 - Civilization 2 Red Alert 2 Siege of New York Scenario Release: Yes I’m finally also releasing my C&C Red Alert 2 Siege of New York Scenario for Sid Meier’s Civilization II Gold (MGE). This project was a rather ambitious attempt to recreate and expand upon the first Allied siege of New York mission from Red Alert 2 using assets from RA2 and some of the best fan projects out there, all entirely within Civ2!  https://www.moddb.com/mods/civilization-2-red-alert-2-siege-of-new-york-scenario/news/civ2-red-alert-2-scenario-release

Yeah, dato did a very good job on that one.

The mobile version is also very close to the original. But you have only one setting for that one.

I didn't play it myself either. It is too generic. I rather have a full fledged RTS game again. Even if it means telling the story all over again. Something along the lines of Dune, Dune 2(000) and then EbfD remade or something. That would be neat.

yeah  or the Dune2000.exe, rather SOME features, like unit queues, are set up on a per-map basis for reasons like preserving the mappers' original intent and balance and whatnot on maps designed without queues in mind. hence why those would need to be added via the ini on a given map YOU want queues on. other quality of life hotkeys like type select (W), all units with unarmed exception (alt + E), deploy (D, but you need to delete the WOLProposeDraw line from your Dune2000.ini for that to work properly), that nifty B hotkey for repeatedly spamming certain kinds of buildings... all those are just baseline now
