    Default The DLV Journal, Second (moderator) Edition!

    THE DLV JOURNAL Second (moderator) Edition!
    Editorial Page:



    SGFNP is moving into a new era, after much tech problems, and we are looking forward to providing a more comprehensive guide for the upcoming DLV 6.2 (DON'T ASK WHEN!). This is also the first DLV JOURNAL, so go easy on us! The DLV-FORUM, itself, has made some great progress recently; Including Agistournas' 2D UCIP and lets not forget the new Openbeta 6.2 discussions-thread firing off, and much, much more. Don't even think about getting sun or having a social life this summer; because your DLV-addiction will haunt you no matter where you go.

    The rest of the Kingdoms-Forums were recently 'going bananas' for the new TATW Mod; With, well over, 800 views on it's release day it could almost be compared to the release of TW Empire! I, personally, disliked 1.0 and thought it was SS with 'pointy ears'. I'm not saying it was shallow but it certainly was very raw when compared to Broken Cre-c.
    -Blackleaf-Wille, Editor.

    ...a bit empty...
    (I Tried it) because I love LOTR and I thought it would be a nice experience. However I find the game a bit... empty without scripted events and quite easy.

    - Alhoon - Interview With Players of LTC. Eagle standard Vol. VII issue V:

    Op-ed
    "I've got a Sylvan Elves campaign going. I'm having a blast...A siege costs script and a DLVish supply script would be most welcome. But for an initial release, It's pretty awesome The issues I have with it would probably apply to all DLV-addicts.....On my first play, I just rolled over all the other factions. I'm not dissing TATW but if they intend to attract some of the more 'hard-core' players, they are going to have to have a little more 'meat with the potatoes' if you know what I mean......(Although I'm sure twelve year old kids are going 'ga ga' over it). We'll just have to see what kind of sub-mods develop with it. But I can't deny that it 'Looks' amazing; so kudos for that!

    -XTIAAN72, Op-Ed.


    The SGFNP-Campaign
    Strategos and Magistratus: The SGFNP'S NEWEST CHAPTER!!!!


    Picture from Montey python. Modified by the great Tokus*Maximus*

    Strategos & Magistratus is the newest addition to the SGFNP. It brings a numbers of 'killer' tactics to the table for a variety of battle maps. It also provides some great tips on campaign strategy. I'm not the kinda guy that likes to brag so........., I'd like to thank, Ivanhoex, LlamaD (The great DLV AAR-tist), and all the other contributers that gave me useful feedback!



    The SGFNP--->Faction Overview/Difficulty Levels-Thread has taken some big steps forward recently:


    This chapter will bring DLV players even closer to world domination! The SGFNP team would like to say a big "Thank You" to the new DLV-addicts on the board for their contributions; Pinowarrior, Baligant, Nice & finally Jumpei for letting us know how to manipulate the Papal States.



    SGfNP-----> A 'House Rules' chapter is in the works for the guide. Are you a true 'Iron Man' DLV Warrior? (Maybe not if you dont contribute to this thread!!!!!


    Quote from the thread
    The SGFNP Guide is gathering info on the 'House Rules' that people use when they are playing DLV. If you come up with a good one it will be included in the 6.2 update of the guide. You will be listed as a contributor in our credits. (+Rep too!)... The idea is to create the ultimate 'IRON MAN' house rules for DLV 6.2...

    The Journal uncovers TWC's, 007
    TATW - DLViscussion:



    While many DLVers have given the 'Vanilla' release of the TATW-mod a whirl, A key member of the DLV Team has taken the first steps towards a "DLVised" version of this mod. Our main man on the 'inside' is none-other than Tokus*Maximus himself; He has confessed that he is determined to bring his, one of a kind, DLV perspective to a more mascocistic audience in an upcoming TATW submod (I'm pretty sure that's us!!!) SGFNP wishes him well with his new mission...God speed, mate!
    Agent 00T's confession:
    "I am helping Reknown on his expanded faction version of TATW called DIVIDE & CONQUER http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=262063 - next week (when I've time from real life stuff) I will begin enhancing the much increased faction rosters list of symbols. DLV by Repman, DAC by Reknown, anyone see the pattern I do? Heh.

    TATW DLVish ACTION FROM: Tokus*Maximus!

    (......More from Tokus) "I've redone all the TATW faction symbols a second time over; very pleased with them too. Expect the next build sometime this week

    That certainly sounds encouraging!!!

    Mini-mod Corner
    Agis... the g(r)eek-dude, faster than a speeding bullet, they say.



    One of the latest changes to UCIP, has been to let the Players choose between 3 different images for each single unit card ( Depending on what armor level you are into). Yes, DLVelopers are going democratic! ( Who would have thought that would ever happen on a board full of terrorists!)

    Agistournas was well on his way finishing his DLV 2D artwork, when a man named Elvallie offered to snazz up his artwork. Agis himself showed a doubful attitude at first because he was pretty fond of what he had done already! But Elvallie has been persistent!

    Most DLVers were going all gushy over Taiji's insane sub-mod at the time ( Battlefield Balance 2.2 for DLV). The SGFNP team thinks it's about time to let the 'people' decide ( But most likely this 'democratic' experiment wont last too long on a DLViolent board like this one ( )

    Judge for yourself from Elvallie's examples:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Both Images will be different in-game

    Sharpened ( with a filter):



    <
    The unofficial DLV guide's, the The DLV Journal, can no longer cover: "*****'s Battle Workshop".
    The reason:

    The journal used pictures that had not been payed for, or given premission from the orginal producers/company. Even as 1000's of pictures gets used, every day at TWC, the moderator removed his picture. The peculiar thing is that the moderator were only concerned for his own material. Not any of the 15 other pictures in the article.

    So don't go disagree with this moderator, because you might end up as Ivanhox.

    This is the Executive editor of The Journal. (Trying to) Keep it real, even if his work gets copy edited by moderators for persnoal reasons only.

    LlamaD has created a new chapter in his Grand Armenian Campaign. His latest chapter includes a great battle between Geuregh Vs. Derya Germiyanoglu. This is truly one of the most epic stories ever attempted on the TWCENTER.NET forums. We commend him for his tenacity!

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    Nice Journal

    But why does it say you can't cover my work?

    And whats this about 'moderator' edition? Are you having a joke about not removing my picture when I asked you to before publication? (and my subsequent removal of it )

    Oh you're upset huh?

    I'm very sorry I had to edit your post to get you to respect my right to refuse your use of my picture, I probably should have asked someone else to do it.

    I'm glad that's all it took though, thankyou for not simply republishing it and instead printing your somewhat dishonest protest

    It doesn't ruin the Journal either, nice work

    No, I'm at peace with my past and future decisions. Unlike others who cowardly use rash, un-noble methods, when they finally face the truth of their first argument. Such cowardly acts will only repay them in the future. You call it respect, I will call it karma.

    My use of words, only reflects what I feelt upon your way of handling resistens. The contex of the evaluation however, was nothing but honest and true. It was also a much milder then what could have been reported from your PM's.

    Btw: Such a "lovely use of words" we use on the public forums, compared to your pms(June, 03:29 PM) . Glad we could settle this, and move on our way.
