Old Players (ICP)

[JamesSteel14]

I struggle with all the new names of people. Who on here used to play (either before or during my time) online and what was your name-tag?

I am curious who is around and has noticed, like me, that this game suddenly popped up on steam after god knows how many years.

Looking for some online nostalgic matches online when I get some free time.

@RujiK - Lmao, I remember LAG_Practis. We played a lot of games together.

[the2ndSign]

I remember Practis as well.

[RujiK]

I'm glad LAG_Practis is memorable! Actually, I remember you too UK/RIP_Dragon! I forgot to list you!

I tried playing a game last night. The host played Shinwa with normal speed, 50 pop cap, normal resources and vanilla IC. I was like dannnng, this is super old school! Unfortunately I got disconnected at level 2...

Also I can't remember any of the popular units except for moose lobster and babales...

But that nostalgia! I had a blast.

Back in the day I went by many smurf names, although my main account was SwoRDx, usually in one clan or another.

Add me im always down for ICO

Im glad this game is alive again.

My name on ICP was fruitbat. I never posted much, so probably no one remembers me.
EDIT: At least, I think that's what it was. Had to dig up an old email to find this. Now it's going to be bugging me!

Funny that I would be the next person to respond 2.5+ years later. This is UK_Underdog and I'm glad to see that IC got a second chance. Sorry that I'm just recently finding that out. I remember quite a few of you and hope some of you still play.

IC still one the best PC games after all these years.

Those days with my fellow OMO like Relic, Timeless, Retread, Geezer, Vintage. My P2D brethren 8ball, Gauss. I remember you Beasty, one annoying ♥♥♥♥ who always refused to die!

Was a co-author (with 8ball) of the ICP Balance Mod, that was directly implemented into the game by Relic.

Meh, I miss those guys :)

Oh, and Avi, bring it! Had some amazing games :)

[kENDON]

Oh, and Beasty, you and Sidewonder In 2s were bloody incredible!

Do you happen to still have a copy of the ICP Balance Mod or any other mods from that time like Reptile Revolution, Creatures of the Knight, etc.?

I was actually looking for the ICP Balance Mod recently but it seems like pretty much all mods from that era of IC, besides the Wide Open Mod, are lost to time.

Also, I don't recall hearing about the ICP Balance Mod being implemented directly into the game...

[kENDON]

Course I have the ICP Balance Mod. Not sure about the others, will all be together on my NAS somewhere, still have hundreds of replays too. Seems I might need to look into Tellurian.

The balance mod was integrated into II. We’d released it pre-II, was embraced by literally all the community. We had a massive internal route directly into Relic too, they were astounded by the success of the mod (both player uptake and balance), and built it in. IIRC, in the notes file of II myself and 8ball were thanked for our work.

Also Eroded Forts and Grove were like the top maps by a huge margin. You forgot Vacation. I loved the massive maps released in II as I could be a macro god, workers like crazy, 8 CCs to pump in case of an all-in.

Horattle is a creature you want to build ;)

Will have a dig for the mod over the weekend.

Could you send me a copy of the ICP Balance Mod to look at? I started playing IC back in like 2007 or so, but I never was active in the community until after IC came to Steam, so I've never gotten to look at it.

You should definitely take a look at Tellurian too. It's what most of the community plays now. It rebalances the entire game and adds 26(?) new animals with high quality, professional looking models. The newest update, which added one new animal and changed up the balance a bit, actually came out earlier this month.

Grove is still probably the #1 most played map lol

With all the push to remaster games from eons ago, why has IC not been redone. It has better controls than modern games already.
