1) Are you downloading scenarios from the Civ4 scenario forum?

2) Alternatively, do you have any of the expansions? Some scenarios require them. (If you have the Multiplayer Gold Edition, you should be fine.)

3) If that's your real number, you're best advised to take it down. If that's not your real number, you're probably being an ******* trying to get a bunch of people to call someone else, so you're best advised to take it down.

I've removed the phone number... if it's your number it's a bad idea to post it, if it's not, it's a horrible idea to post it

It's your number Kuci, right?

help

that was my real number. thanks for taking it off. I didnt think it would be a big deal. I do not have the civ 2 godl edition. just the first civ2 to come out. I have been trying to get scenarios to work like the ww3 rome and others. Have not had any luck with most of them. is there a download patch or something that i can use to upgrade my civ2 to gold edition. thanks

You must not have been on the Internet for very long, then, posting your number definitely is a problem

There is a set of files that should help you upgrade Classic Civ2 to Civ2 MGE. See here:

And while at it, I'll move this to the Civ2 forum, it doesn't really have anything to do with Civ4.

Welcome.

There are three versions of Civ2 that you should be aware of. Civ 2.42 (often called classic), Fantastic Worlds (FW) and MGE. FW shipped with a number of scenarios, but you shouldn't use it for serious Civ2 play since it has some killer bugs. The widest selection of scenarios is available fro MGE, which has facilities much used by scenario makers. You can play classic scenarios on MGE, but not vice versa. There are still a few people around who will answer general questions about Civ2. Any queries about specific scenarios can probably be answered in the Scenario League sub-forum.
