Seriously Tricky Sticky Game

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

This is definitely one of the slower ones

[Scouse Gits]

Thanks for the PM, Stray - this game is foundering somewhat...

Do I gather that once Doc has played I get a lovely glowing nuclear turn?
If so - this will be my first ever nuclear turn in a Succession Game!! - and only about the fifth or sixth ever ...

Um, there is a problem. I downloaded the last save to continue the game, but it said it wasn't a save file. I tried the last few saves and none of them work.........even SG's original save.

All other game saves I have work though, just not any ones I download today. I even tried some from a different succession game. I reinstalled Civ2 to be sure, but the same thing happens. Version is 2.42.

What's going on?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Isn't this MGE, Herr Dokter?

2.42 doesn't support gigamaps, so this is definitely MGE.

[DrSpike]

Oops. I convinced myself I played my last set of turns on this windows install. It must have been the last one, when I had MGE set up. Ok, will rectify this after I eat and thanks to the quick response can still get some turns in today.

Tum ti tum...........*loads up the save*

(few minutes later)

A-ha, an enemy city. Oooh sir, I don't think I've ever seen such a large and magnificent empire.

1887 Tweak: BK has left things in order, but some vulnerable partisans were squished.

1888: Various partisan attacks, but nothing lost.

Calcutta captured. Enough partisans butchered to keep the bloodthirsty rodents happy.

1889: Indians found Punjab in our territory.

Punjab captured
Kolhapur captured
Lahore captured

Partisans mashed

1890:

Bombay captured, destroying Indians

1891:

Ceasefire with French.

1892:

All is ready for the final assault now..........we have units galore and a worldwide fleet of transports. SG will need his "the French are scum" cap to facilitate matters. Over to you SG.

[DrSpike]

Save.

[Scouse Gits]

okey dokey - will smash the scummy French asap

Ah, the Indian scourge squished.
Welcome back, Spike.

If you manage to grab such a cap, Dr, please send it to me

[DrSpike]

[backpedal] I meant, of course, that to rile such a peaceful and civilised race SG would need to resort to underhand tactics. [/backpedal]

In any event, the French were the longest-surviving AIs in both the Mongol Horde game and this one.

So they're doing something right Or maybe they just happened to be furthest away

[Scouse Gits]

Why tend your own vinyard - when there are French peasants just itching to do it for you

[duke o' york]

Is that the cap that you wear on holiday [1]?

And now for something entirely different......

Happy birthday to the wascally wabbit!



I hope that it's -Jrabbit's birthday in all your timezones too, but when the forums front page tells me it is then that's cause for celebration, regardless of whether he is out of bed yet.

[-Jrabbit]

Thank you, duke. Nice to be remembered.

For the record, the b'day is Oct. 28, and this one's the Big 5-0. Which bothers me not at all. Really.
