    Anyone Want Civ 2.5?

    It'd incorporate all the features found in Civ II, along with some of the new stuff found in Civ III (and maybe have a touch of SMAC in it as well), like improved AI, the extra Wonders and culture.

    We'd have farming back, if nothing else, with Civ 2.5.

    No, make a SMAC 1.5 instead.
    A much better base to build on

        I think it's a GREAT idea. We'd recover the civ2 features we lost with civ3.

          but but but the LEADERHEADS!!!!! ALL THAT GLORIOUS ARTWORK and no code.

          and i'd rather have civ2's multiplayer in civ3, especially the diplomacy.

          theres NO way to know what techs an enemy has, even with a spy.

            In my mind Freeciv is Civ 2.5MP. Diplomacy support is now upcoming and apart from scenario support it now offers everything Civ2 has and more.

              I tried Freeciv once. It's a year or two since, but I remember a extremely bad game, that didn't work half as good as any original civ game... I used the Windows version, but I had huge problems getting the game to start properly too. Not a good game at all...:rollleyes:

                Freeciv always progresses...

                That must have been one of the earlier versions of the windows client (X-windows or the native one?). You had to set up your game from the civserver first and then log in with the client and then start up the game from the server. Just awful, certainly not the best way to get a game going on. The windows client certainly has improved a lot since then...

                And Freeciv has a lot of features that Civ2 doesn't: multiple worklist, proper goto's, isometric and square tilesets for the purists, road laying settlers, patrol functions, city management agents (sadly not in the Windows client).

                And once you've taken the eyecandy barrier you realize there's a solid game of Civ behind it.

                Beauty is only skin deep, isn't it?

                  Actually, I would like to have Civ IV have the same graphics as Civ II, but with the unit-capabilities and land texturing (but lighetr graphics) as SMAC; and with the Public Works options that CTP had!

                    Lemmy,

                    forget SMAC 1,5. You have the Freeciv port of SMAC and projects like Stella Polaris.

                    And yes, I agree with CapTVK.

                          That's one of the things I love about the game. It means the enemy doesn't know what I have.

                          It is possible to find out what they don't have (and you do) though.

                              Yeah, whatever.

                              I was still green around the gills at 'Poly back on Feb. 26, 2000. I'd been here only 2 1/2 weeks or so ... why, these young whippersnappers nowadays, what with their garish Civ III and all, they don't know what they're missing w/ Civ I and Civ II! Age doesn't make everything worse, ya know!
