Welcome to The Forge! What is forged here, you ask? Our forged items include scenarios, modpacks, campaigns, utilities - pretty much anything that can be created with Age of Kings. As with any good forge, the AoKH Forge will also put our completed works on display to use, play, and gain inspiration from.

For those of you who are familiar with the Current Campaigns and Scenarios series, this thread is an amalgamation (intentional word choice) of both the Current Campaign and Scenarios thread and the Blacksmith thread, which features news about noteworthy files uploaded to the Blacksmith. Now under staff hands, these threads will function under one title where we will be able to more actively feature both works in progress and works that have already been released. Expect new practices such as these:

• Updates and project details will be gathered from project threads and elsewhere in the SD&M forum in addition to updates posted in this thread
• Adding new projects to The Forge no longer requires a specified format
• Mini features of recently released Blacksmith projects will be posted regularly
• The high latency tag will be actively used
• We will have a latest projects section, featuring the most recently updated projects

The Forge was previously hosted by Leif Ericson, but as he stepped down from moderating the SD&M Forums to make way for some new cherubs, the baton was passed to me.

Project	Author	Progress	Style	Description
Treat (Oligarchs)	Lildbehr	93%	Diplomacy	The idea of this project was to create a different type of playing. One that doesn't include you building anything. But instead trade and conspire against other players. The idea came from an old board game I played some years ago, named Junta.

El Dorado - Rush for Gold	Jernside	20%	Mix	I'm actually working on a Multiplayer Map for AoK HD TF. The setting will be mesoamerican. The map will be available for 2-4 players, while I recommend 2 or 4. Every player starts in a corner of the map and should start exploring fast. For more gold you can plunder temples and shrines. In the middle of the central lake you can find a big native city. There you will be able to collect much more gold. Unless to collect as much gold as you can, your aim is it to destroy the enemys. Project Thread
Red Sands	Zardozhotep	???	Mix	So this is a multiplayer scenario I've been working on this weekend. It's for AoK HD, with both Forgotten Empires and African Kingdoms material present, and it was inspired by MP scenarios like "Mare Nostrum" and "Seas of Egressa". Project Thread
Wargames	GuardianReborn	???	Mix	Wargames pits two teams of cadets at rival military academies against each other in a battle for supremacy. Starting out with basic equipment - players will be forced to decide between defending their rally point from enemy attacks, or venturing their squad into the countryside between the academies to find better equipment. Both sides will receive periodic reinforcements, but it's all over if your opponent destroys your rally point!Project Thread

All finished projects that were once listed in this thread are shown below, beginning with the latest finished project.

POSTING YOUR PROJECT:

There are two ways to post your project in The Forge. The first is to make a post in this thread with the project name, project type (scenario, campaign, modpack, etc.), genre/style, percentage complete, and a description of the project. We'll compile the information and add your project to The Forge (no format needed!). The mods will also be actively perusing the forum, keeping watch for new or updated projects. A second way to post your project is simply to create a project thread that contains the information needed, and we'll add it to The Forge. If you project lacks some information, such as the percentage complete, we will add your project to The Forge, but some of the details will be shown as unknown (???). So, add that information to your thread!

---

WHAT NOT TO POST:

Do not post information about a project you've already finished, or which you'll finish in a day or two, just for advertising. Post projects, not finished files.

Do not post information about projects you know you're not going to finish. If you post a project, people will be expecting to see it finished. Although some projects are inevitabely cancelled because of various reasons from the designer, we do not want to encourage people making half-done projects that won't be finished. Please note that this means incomplete scenarios, NOT scenarios with open endings, or chapters part of a complete story etc.

---

COLOR SCHEME:

Why do all the projects have their names in blue or red colors? Here's your answer:

Green: (100% Completed) (only applies for projects in the Finished Projects list)
Light Blue: (75% - 99%)
Dark Blue: (50% - 74%)
Red: (25% - 49%)
Maroon:(0% - 24%)

---

HIGH LATENCY:

When a project has been up for three months without getting a single update from the designer they will be given a High Latency Tag, looking like this:
. If a project with a High Latency Tag stays up for another three months without an update, it will be removed from the list.

Some exceptions might be made with projects that the designer has admitted will be taking loads of time to complete, which they continue to work on but don't feel the need of updating with every percent in this thread. Projects like these will have a High Latency Tag, but will not be removed when the three months expire.

If you are an active forummer and your project goes six months without an update, one of the mods will likely email you to see if you want your project to remain in The Forge. If you can beat us to it and send us an email first stating that you wish your project to remain in the Forge, that would be quite helpful.

---

MISSING SOUND FILES:

Since the maximum upload size at the Blacksmith used to be 48MB, there have been many designers who decided to upload sound files to an alternate website to save space. However, over time these links became dead, and these sound files may be lost. However, if you happen to have the sound files to these Blacksmith files, please send an email to Leif Ericson or one of the moderators. You can find their email addresses here.
