We have a history thread, so why not an astronomy thread too? ;)   I've got to say, this thread was kind of inspired by Crusader's history thread, I'll keep this thread updated with all the things to look out for in the night sky, and I'll try to add some articles every now and then about what is what, how you can tell and what the features of the different things are .etc.   But before we get started, I'd recommend downloading the program Stellarium. This can be configured to show the stars whe

Before I begin this thread I just want to say a few things. @Crusader1307 tried to convince me to make it and once I've thought about it for a while I realise he's probably right again (as usual ).

What I thought would be a good idea however, is to have a dedicated thread to philosophical conversations and even debates.   The idea of the thread is as follows: I will start in this first post with a question o

Hello, Thank you for the new site, "Heavengames" has been a bit slow for a while now. You might know me as "Sir_Vet", my favorite games are SH2 and SHC, I have them all but those are my favorites.   My passion is for making maps and I like to share my work, there are more than a few maps on my hard drive waiting for a place to upload them, hopefully I've found a new home!   If your are reading this and have an idea for a new map but not to sure about how to make one, I would be willing to
