Your choice of graphics?

[Willhelm II]

When playing Civ2 as a standard game (no scenario), what graphics do you use?

I'm very fussy on the aesthetics of my graphics - everything must correspond in a unified style.

So post your default units.gif, cities.gif, icons.gif, etc.

I am a traditionalist...

So I like to stay with the pure version of CIV MGE, all the original graphics, etc.

But when it comes to ToT, I use a mix of fairline/catfish units and terrain...!

Oh curtsibling, that's a shame... I was banking that you, of all members, would have had some personalised graphics pack that we could have all shared

[curtsibling]

Well, I might have something in my archives...

I will have a look...!

[Varwnos]

Is TOT worth buying? And will it run on a p4 3gz?

[curtsibling]

ToT is most certainly worth buying, and will run on any of the new PCs...

I can run it fine on my P4 3.2...

Better graphics, more events, more modding options...Works for me!

I've added a couple of units and gathered a couple of units from here and there, but only started this a couple of months ago, so it's not complete. The terrains were compiled from a couple of sources, and on my other machine i've tweaked the rivers a bit (more, since the ones have had the coastlines removed). The icons I got a long time ago, and haven't bothered to change them, and no new cities (though I should get some smilie and / or curt ones, but I'm lazy...)

Anyway:

[Varwnos]

are there any animated units in TOT?
i am seriously thinking of buying it

[fairline]

There are, but don't let that be the reason you buy it - they are possibly the worst-excecuted game animations of all time

Fortunately you can replace the nasty stock graphics with either MGE static units (or 15-bit versions of them) or, if you are feeling very adventurous, use Mercator's utilities to edit reduced-animation versions of the sprites themselves.

There are planty of good reasons to buy it though Varwnos: increased events space, impassible terrain flags, improved events macros, 15-bit gfx, unique-unit flags and multiple maps being amongst them.

[Varwnos]

i hope that i can use some of the civ3 cities i made in TOT, or edit them for it.

[Varwnos]

Curt, how do you get civ2 to run on your computer? Mine doesnt run it at all, unless it should only be civ2mg (i have fw)

[curtsibling]

I only use MGE...

Is you FW version fully legit and patched?

Many MGE scens will not work with FW...

[Willhelm II]

My units of choice (for use with the Fascist Patch).

This terrain looks beatuifull when it works together.
