I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Where have I been? A combination of things put Schulmania on ice for a while. I had ever-increasing problems with prop poxes and CTDs. And in the old days, when images needed to be hosted offsite, my image hosting service wanted a small fortune for the CJ pics they hosted for me. Once that debacle was done and over with, many of the CJ pictures were permanently lost. The whole SC4 experience was falling apart… and then the CD quit working. I couldn’t even open it anymore.
Fast forward to recent times… I got the bright idea of getting a new version of SC4 on Steam. One that actually opens! Once I did that, I brought over my STEX acquisitions and my regions. For the most part, things went pretty smoothly. I still have some assorted missing props and BATs and such; but nothing quite as bad as before. I may post some of those pictures to see if any of you sage and wise folks know what files I need to get a clean copy of to fix the issues shown. I know some of my stuff has been corrupted, and I still have some CTD issues, but I am actually back and able to do stuff again! WOO HOO! Some of my cities made the transition well. A few need some fixing… or lots of fixing!
Let’s catch up a little bit…
Queensferry: Let’s ascribe the various SC4 issues to unconventional cyber warfare by Queensferry. They are easy to blame! In case you were wondering about the war, it did end several years ago with the expulsion of the Buggs and their cronies. The Principality of Devonshire was almost completely destroyed in the process. With its leadership decimated, the territory, once liberated, was renamed the Principality of Chelonia, in honor of the alliance which helped to bring Queensferry down at last.
Chelonia: The District of Devonshire and East Devonshire are now the Districts of West Chelonia and Schulmericho (named for the defensive fortifications which served as the crucial turning point in the war.
The large island off the eastern coast is now known as New Apo Island and is a special economic zone for the nation. It is very modern, at least for Schulmania.
Turtle Cat Alliance: Our military alliance with the Turtle Federation is what helped bring the war to an end. The Turtle Federation began in 2015 with the union of terrestrial, aquatic, and Ninja turtles under a single government. These heroes on the half shell sent two generals to help turn the tide.
Gen. Tippi Turtle, known for his innovative, subversive tactics
Gen. Cecil Turtle, known for overcoming tremendous odds
The Turtle Cat Alliance has been around more than a decade and is still going strong. To honor this legacy, the new ruling house of Chelonia consists of tortoise shell cats and their consorts. At the moment, Princess Izzy is the ruler. The first few updates will show the reconstruction in liberated areas before venturing out into other parts of the country. Almost every town is new. Of the four settlements around Lake George, only St. George avoided complete destruction. The new capital of the region, built on the north shore of Lake George, is Jamestowne. Along the cratered south shore of the lake, Turtle Pond is a new settlement built around a pond made from a massive explosion during a battle. Each town has a war memorial; the largest of which is in Jamestowne.
Welcome to Chelonia!
