Wait, what? Weekend Warriors? What's that? Click here to find out.

Hey all Weekend Warriors! In light of the several missed Weekend Warrior parties in the last several months, I am going to try a new approach. Instead of a new thread each time, we'll use this stickied thread. This thread will include a calendar of the next few Weekend Warrior parties so you all can know when they'll occur. You can always assume that a Weekend Warrior party will occur on the scheduled date unless I post an announcement in this thread.

This will also allow us to create a rotation to easily alternate between clients and/or mods if you guys want. That way, you all can play at least part of the time if one of the game clients doesn't work for you. If you have any suggestions, make a post! This is a discussion thread as well.

Without further ado, the calendar:

June 8th - Weekend Warriors XXXVI - GameRanger - 22:00 GMT
June 22nd - Weekend Warriors XXXVII - Voobly
July 6th - Weekend Warriors XXXVIII - GameRanger
July 20th - Weekend Warriors XXXIX - Voobly
August 3rd - Weekend Warriors XL - GameRanger

Rule #1:

We will have fun. It is required that you enjoy yourself. Otherwise, what are you here for?

Rule #2:

Follow Rule #1.

What: AoKH Weekend Warriors - fun-filled multiplayer hangout with various maps

Who: Anyone from AoKH. If your dog has an account, your dog can play (How does it use a keyboard?)

Where: See the calendar to find out where it's located. When it's at Voobly it will be in the Agincourt Lobby.

When: (see the bolded date in the calendar for the next party date)

The Helpful Time Zone Converter

Why: Why not? (refer to rule #1)

How: See Getting Started Playing Online

PS: the password is HUNTER

Champions:

Question, what version of the game are you guys using?

1.1? 1.0c etc.

I've got so many versions of "age_2x1" it's hard to keep track!

Weekend Warriors will be taking place tomorrow. Be there if you can!

EDIT:

LOL, I just realized I put this week's Weekend Warriors date as February 30th. I've now wiped the evidence of that.

I read earlier that you lost your CDs, Leif? Why didn't you make disc images? That's what I got.

... I also own three copies of AoEII Gold xD

I found my CDs, so I'm good. The thought of making disk images never occurred to me, perhaps because it's too far along the lines of CD cracks.

EDIT:

Updated the Champions list since it had been a while.

I understand what you're saying.

The way I could explain the legality of making a disc image is that it's essentially making a backup for the CDs for your own personal use only. Using them in a virtual drive would be the same as using the actual CDs in the physical drive.

The difference is, you don't have to physically use your CDs anymore, so you can preserve them and they won't get scratched up.

So long as you don't share or resell the backups (for obvious reasons), it's perfectly legal. I made Backup DVDs for my legit copy of Win7 Ultimate x64. Microsoft allows this practice on the condition that it is strictly for personal use and not to be shared with anyone but the license owner.

In a nutshell, it isn't piracy to make backups of software you own the licenses to, like your games, for example, as long as it is only for your own personal use. It is piracy to redistribute them. Therefore, as long as you follow those rules, you can make disc images with a clear conscience.

Yeah, I understand that making my own disk images isn't illegal if I'm the only one that uses them. The thought just never occurred to me because I don't think along those lines. I bought the "Collector's Edition" version of the CDs, and you don't have to have the Conquerors CD in to play the game anyway.

That's pretty cool!

I have a question: Where might I be able to find animations like this one in .gif?

I hope there's an Eagle Warrior one.

Unfortunately, they are all scattered over the internet. There isn't one site that has them all. I just use the images that AoKH has saved on its server.
