ConquerGaming - Command your gaming, Conquer your enemies...
p://www.conquergaming.com
Throughout the long-standing history of the Command & Conquer series there have been a few networks that were the corner stones of the community. Many people are aware of days of Blueprint: Ra2, which later was renamed to Ra2Mods.com, founded by RaGe, the downfall of this site marked a devastating blow to the community. However in the wake of the demise of this corner stone to the community, another network took over, the Eclipse Modding Network, which was also the host of Federation Studios in its early days. Federation Studios later branched out on its own and became by far the most successful community network since the fall of Blueprint: Ra2, however once again the community took a blow when Federation Studios called it a day, the torch was then carried on by a number of networks formed to pick up where this network left of. It has now been two years since the downfall of Federation Studios, but once again from the ashes of another community corner stone, another network is coming to bring back the community days of old.
ConquerGaming - Founded and led by Marshalus, founder and former Chief Executive of Federation Studios, ConquerGaming is the network dedicated to bringing you all the latest news and information in the community.

Each of these hit CNC titles has its own section of the site, dedicated to nothing but the most extensive supply of game information, strategies, walkthroughs, modding tutorials, tools, maps, and game patches.

Proudly hosted by the Edge Network, ConquerGaming is dedicated to bringing back the glory days of the community and giving you everything you could ever ask for in a community site. With a staff comprised of some of the most highly skilled modders and renowned community members, the information, tutorials, walkthroughs, and strategies are of the highest possible standard and won't be found anywhere else. In addition to all this there are also integrated forums for the community members. Whether it's to post a question on modding or gaming, or simply to hang out with some of the longest standing community members, all of whom are dedicated to providing you with all the help you need and bringing you the latest information and news from across the community.
In addition to bringing you the very best information and latest news, ConquerGaming also provides hosting services for community websites.

Article - Monday Mod Reports - Posted on 18 May 2004 by Dancam |
|

Woohoo! The last two editions of the Monday Mod Report are finally up on the Guild. While they were actually written on time, Des08tor has struggled to find the time to upload them. Thanks again to Argcmdr for sorting that for me.
Both of these are transitional reports as we shift to a new format. These changes are purely to make the report more readable, easier for me to compile and also easier for the modders to write.
Anyways, the reports can be accessed from this page. |

At 12:00GMT today we will be doing a server reboot. The CPU usage is amazingly high, even at some points managing to reach 3.31 and pushing the server very high into the red. This reboot will cause minimal downtime, we expect 10mins min but 30mins max downtime.

Article - 2021: Cataclysm Update - Posted on 13 May 2004 by ArgCmdr |
|
|
2021: Cataclysm, proudly reveals yet another unit. However, it is to notice that it doesnt play a major role, and it isnt even buildable. Its purpose is to star in some of the fourteen mission maps to ship with a public version (campaigns are already 60% done). Model and environment was made by myself, and soon ingame screenshots (alongside with how Arcanna looks ingame) will be shown as well. Plus a planetary report on the investigations made on this portal.
For further information, and, if you dont know what this is about, storyline-wise, i suggest going to our site , place where youll be able to get deeper into the outstanding universe of Cataclysm. |

Article - C&C Guild Hosting Blue Horizon - Posted on 09 May 2004 by
Natus |

Well, well, I have decided to come out of the relative shadows and get my new mod hosted. Yes indeed, Blue Horizon is the latest project to be given a home at the 1st class network we know and love. The mod, led by me, aims to be a mixture of Fallout style infantry combat meets Rise Of Nations style tank battles. Translation: Originality and style. Have a peek here, I will obviously show some of the work which has gone on out of public eye (Well, items not shown on Savage War and the Guild).
http://forums.cncguild.net/viewforum.php?f=133
Lovely stuff indeed.
I want public ideas and feedback, so please, drop me a line on the link above. |

Article - This Monday - Posted on 08 May 2004 by Dancam |

I regret to announce that this week we will not be releasing the second mod report as previously thought. It is currently difficult for both the modders and myself to collaborate on such a scale to produce a report of that size especially with many exams coming up all around.
At the moment, I am undecided as to whether to make this a two-weekly affair, or to work with half of the mods one week and half the next. Rest assured however, that the Monday Mod Report will be around for a while to come yet, and we might even find some other things to spice up the beginning of the week! |

These are the final results for the Voxel Grand Prix II - April 2004.
Results are based onto the veredicts of ArgCmdr, Major_Gilbear and Spider-man_2099 (Substituting Lord Kal, as he wasnt yet able to pass us the results).
Submitted Files:
MadHQ´s Aircraft Carrier
Mig Eater´s Metal Gear Rex
Raminator´s Harvester
Daz´s Sea King
BobingAbout´s Tank
The score table is:
Final Ranking
1. Mig Eater: 63,3
1. MadHQ: 63,3
3. Raminator: 60,3
4. BobingAbout: 56,3
5. Daz: 56,0
Congratulations Mig Eater & MadHQ - Winners of the Voxeler of The Month April 2004 Award!
I must say that all of the entries were quite levelled, and that it was specially hard to qualificate one or another (notice that thyre all in a range of 8 points...). Wed like to encourage more people to take part next: you could be the next winner!
The assets rated above 60% will be made downloadable at YrArg in matter of minutes.
If you havent noticed, we had screwed up maths which had made MadHQ lose by 0,3. Special thanks to stucuk for noticing it. So, there, results revamped. |

Greetings..
As "hinted" upon in the Monday Mod Report development on Command Imperium has stalled, although not beause i'm busy but mainly because of a personal crisis currently on my hands. As i've always done, everything takes a backseat (especially when it's the issue it currently is). Please bear with me during this time and I hope to release updates/info in the coming weeks.

Article - First Monday Mod Report - Posted on 03 May 2004 by Des08tor |

By Dancam on 03/05/04
Welcome to the first edition of the Monday Mod Report. This is hopefully going to be the first of many here at the CNC Guild and is designed to help you get the latest details on your favourite mods, behind the scenes information and exclusives not seen anywhere else. As this is the first edition of the MMR, I’d like to spend a bit of time just explaining the concept and how this thing is going to work over the coming months.
You’ll see one of these every Monday and it will be written either by me, or one of the other admins. The report will contain a short piece from as many of the mods currently hosted at the Guild as possible. Eventually we would like to see every mod team contributing every single week. However, we realise that this is not always going to be possible. Each report will contain information on the work that that particular mod team has recently been undertaken over the previous week.
Also every week, we will focus on one mod in particular which will be our ‘Mod of the Week’. Our coverage of this mod will include an interview with a member of the mod team, more in-depth coverage on the progress that the mod has seen and also we will be offering exclusives that you will be able to see here before anywhere else.
This week, our ‘Mod of the Week’ is Project Perfect Mod’s (PPM) ‘Final Dawn’ modification for Tiberian Sun.

+ Blitzkrieg II shown some pics of the skins of their Tiger II, and have also posted a dev status report.
+ Bglman, over at Sleipnir´s Stuff, has unscrambled the RA2 and the TS normals. With this wonderful achievement, possibly the most important thing in the last year regarding RA2YR modding, both programs, VxlSe, and 3ds2vxl, will adapt to the scheme to recreate Westwood´s normals. 3DS2vxl already supports this, and i must say the results are awesome. So cheers for bglman, Virtual Prophet (Vi_Pr) and Stucuk!
+ Cold War Crisis, Generals TC that i have to add to the mod list (:P me ), have shown a number of renders and screenshots
+ The Finest Hour, have showed some pics of three new infantry men in their project.
