Once or twice only, and then only to play some good old Civ2 scenarios I had that were better than the cruddy stock Civ3 scenario editor. That's no longer a problem with PTW and now C3C.

It's easy to romanticize how wonderful Civ2 is because it really was an awesome game, for its time.
I have played it once or twice since 3 came out and, frankly, the romance is dead. Stupid things like stack death, overpowered Diplomats, ICS and much much more make the game seem more than a little outdated.
Caveat: I am an SP only player.

Perhaps a good poll would be "How many times did you play Civ3 before going back to Civ2?"Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

When I first got (vanilla) Civ3 I found myself running back to CtP2 but now it is much better.

Ahh, people who are in doubt. Which is why I have a comprehensive listing of CtP2/Civ3 differences, a comparison and reasons to play one game over the other
