        I loved Civ I, until Civ II MP arrived. Civ I is still my 2nd favorite.

          Got 'em all, barely! Kept putting in "Frederick" but it wouldn't take it...kept screwing around with the spelling and finally got it to accept (Freidreich or something like that).

            Almost the same as orange. I got all but Frederick (which I'd bet was spelled like that - on my version at least) due to spelling.

                  Ick, only 36 for me.

                  Couldn't at all think of Friedrich. I swore it was Bismark and then couldn't think of another German leader besides you-know-who.

                  Couldn't spell Tenochtitlan correctly (even after I googled it), and couldn't for the life of me think of what the Chinese capitol could be if not Beijing. Then, somehow, I totally forgot about Egypt.

                  At least I did better than RP/CS.

                          Just retried after re-reading the thread, 40/42 after blanking on the last civ until the last minute and consequently failing to remember Zimbabwe with less than 20 seconds left. And I still can't spell Frederick.

                              I couldn't remember the land in Zululand and I had a brain fart with regards to Russia... for some reason, the Soviet Union never crossed my mind and I keep thinking Peter the Great or Catherine and St. Petersburg as the capital, forgetting Stalin and Moscow (duh!)
