    You can easily and freely patch the game to MGE, you can download the patch from civfanatics for example. If you want real MP i think you need ToT
    A ship at sea is its own world. To be the captain of a ship is to be the unquestioned ruler of that world and requires all of the leadership skills of a prince or minister.

      No - not to PNG.

      I did however order one of Amazon - and it disappeared in the "customs process" - as things do here.

      I will probably order a version to get sent to NZ - I will be back there at the end of the year.
      I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

        I just wanted to popup and say Hi!, and that this patch doesn't work on my computer. the procram starts but crashes right away. but the idea a is good.

        the problem I'm having is that Civ2 uses all available prosessing power, and after a maybe half an hour the computer overheats and shuts down. last time when I tried Civ2, a year ago, all went fine, but now there's this overheating problem. and I'm running XP on a laptop.

          Make sure your laptop is well ventilated. It can make a huge difference. Ming's was bogging down horribly playing Civ4, but when he put the machine "up on blocks" to create some airflow, all the problems disappeared.

            When I try and install TOT on my laptop I get the following message;

            Application Error

            SETUP caused a General Protection fault in module SETUP.EXE at 0001:2047

            Choose close. SETUP will now close.



            I'm running XP Pro. Any ideas?

              MGE runs fine on my PC.

                I have small "blocks". maybe I should use thicker ones?....
                I played Civ2 on a train, when I was going to my Xmas holiday. and it was seriously colder on that train, than in my apartment. but still there was this over heating problem.
                maybe this is the long awaited solution to the "one more turn"-problem?
