Thanks!
It is good to be back. I needed a break and there was a lot going on. It is sad to see how far the Civ2 community has fallen, but it is good to see there is still a good group around.
The end of CDG and then EVO hurt?
There are people on a German site that are more active than here?
CivFanatics is dead for Civ2 stuff?

Seeing as the game is more than 10 years old now I think that it's amazing that the community is still both existant and remains innovative.

There are many other CivII players still out there! I meet them all the time.
Lots of my friends play it but have never got into the internet or into scenario creation. I download the scenarios and burn them onto cds for them. My constant nagging to get on the net has not succeded in overcoming their technophobia though.

Yeah, I also feel very sad about this question. Why is it so hard to melt both groups together (scen design and multiplayer) ? The ones are very focussed on optimizing the AI handling any civ well, the others are too conservative for trying out mods.

In the PBEM section, there we have a small but reliable community. Turns are mostly done in a day or two, even in a war scen like 2194 Days Giga.
What I mean is that while there does seem to be an influx of new players into the scenario creation scene, there are almost no new players at all involved in PBEM games.
And only very few scenario designers actually play PBEMs. Only Eivind and Patine, I think.
So it seems that for some strange reason, designing scenarios and playing PBEMs seem to be mutually exclusive.
