LOL! Unfortunately yes, the history Channel loves doing shows about "ancient
aliens".
It's awesome science fiction, but I don't believe for a second that aliens
visited Earth in any way. Essentially what that show is saying is that humans
are stupid drooling idiots, and anything we have achieved in architecture and
astronomy all came from aliens.
Still, the history channel (there's also a second history channel called H2
which is better by far) has some great documentaries about the wars. Some of
them you can even find on Netflix.
No problem with the sounds. I'm happy to help. I'll see what I can cook up,
grin.

If you're talking about the same channel that I've heard of...you mean the one
that talks about aliens most of the time?
Thanks!
Only do it if it's not a problem, though. For the alien one, I mainly only need
sounds for ships, aliens, and possibly human aircraft (I have a few for that,
but more might be useful). I'm not starting the World War packs until this is
done, because it shouldn't take me too long.

Oh well… There's always the history channel, LOL!
Okay, I'll start putting some sounds together for you. It might take
me a few days since I have to deal with dialysis, but I'll get it done.

Nice to know that the two of you would be interested!
Allan, I don't have access to either of those. I did download The
First World War: A Concise Global History somewhere though.
I guess I could easily split them, since I technically haven't done
anything with them yet. Only reason I was going to merge them was so
they'd all be in one place haha.
Actually, my alien maps aren't based off of anything in particular.
Just the cliché "Oh crap, aliens are invading earth and now they must die"
game. I doubt there'd be many maps in that one...just two or three
planned at the moment.
If you have sounds that I could use for either pack, that would be
wonderful. I've already got quite a few, but more are always helpful!

Hi,
I've been interested in World War I and World War II lately and I
started reading some books I really enjoyed by an author named James
L Stokesbury.
This series of books are called a short history of "insert war here".
Bard has them available if you're in the US and use that service.
Book share might have it to, although I haven't checked.
What I like most about the books is that the battles are described in
pretty good detail. At least in my opinion anyway.
So long story short… I would really enjoy playing those world war maps.
Although I would suggest that each war has its own map pack. First
because both wars are very unique, and have very unique units, along
with some very unique battles. Secondly because both wars are huge
and have iconic battles… At least a dozen for each war.
Nevertheless, I would definitely play those map packs.
The aliens sounds pretty good to. I assume you mean the aliens from
Ridley Scott/James Cameron from the first two alien movies?
I think I have some sounds that might be very useful for the world
war maps and perhaps even the alien one.
There actually might be quite a bit, so if you are interested let me
know.

World War I saw the creation of fighter aircraft, blimps, U-boats,
tanks, machine guns, trench warfare, poison gas,

Hey people,
I've been considering the creation of a world war map pack for a
while now... If I did it, it would include several battles from both
World War I and World War II.
Would anyone be interested in such a thing?
