Most of these files have been zipped to reduce space and downloading time. If you don't have a zip/unzip utility, I recommend FilZip.

Click here to download the presentation on civilization (225 KB).

For those who are curious, the new icons represent a hand holding a clay tablet (My Computer), a basket of grain (Recycle Bin), and a ziggurat (Network).

Instructions:

Download and unzip the BabTheme.zip file, and make sure all its contents go into the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\
If you keep your themes elsewhere, you'll have to get a text editor and modify the main file of the theme accordingly, or just create a new folder in that location. Then open up "Control Panel" from the "My Computer Icon," go to the Theme Icon, and set it to "Babylon."

Download the Babylonian desktop theme here. (909 KB)

Here is a picture of how my own desktop looks, with the Babylonian theme on it.

Instructions for installation:

1. Download each of the following files:

SSaver1.zip
SSaver2.zip
SSaver3.zip
SSaver4.zip
SSaver5.zip

2. Use a zip/unzip utility, such as WinZip, to unzip the contents from each file.

3. Double-click on Babylonian_Screen_Saver.bat. This will merge all the files into one called Babylon.exe.

4. Double-click on Babylon.exe and the screen saver will install itself automatically.

5. Consult the readme.txt in the last zip file for more instructions on using the screen saver.

The first scenario is a re-creation of the world before Noah's Flood, using the material I wrote for Chapter 9 of The Genesis Chronicles. If you have Civilization II, you may download the scenario here:

Here are two screen shots from the game:

Screen shot 1. A barbarian horde threatens the Children of Abel. Are they and the Children of Cain up to meeting this challenge?
Screen shot 2. By spending enough gold, we can beat the Nephilim to this. Is it worth it?


The second scenario re-enacts Southeast Asian history, up to the point when Europeans made their first contact. My source material is Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 from my Southeast Asian pages.

SEASIA1.zip (405 KB)

Screen shots:

Screen shot 3. As long as we control the seas, these islands will be ours.
Screen shot 4. This wonder looks good, but we'd better do something about those elephants first.
