you could hex edit the program to make higher difficulty levels.

Oh man, I remember my dad trying to show me how to hex I think I was 12 or something at the time and extremely impressed with my Dad's knowledge.

Your dad taught you hex editing? Damn, I never thought nerds would be able to reproduce

Maybe there's some hope for me yet!

(Wouldn't wanna be my own son though )

she's 8 now, and previously only played as a joke or to make fun of me. but earlier this week she asked me seriously how to REALLY play civilization. so I started her out on civ1 (civ for windows). she got mad and wiped out the unit pinning her, then went and flattened Moscow.
She liked wiping out moscow so much that she then went and took berlin. since they hadn't expanded yet, and there were only 3 players, she won the game. in 2720 BC, chieftan difficulty.
Now she's addicted, she can't get enough of civ!!
another civ addict is born.

Ah yes Civ I is very educational for kids, you can learn so much:
The Pyramids are in Russia, the American civ started in 4000BC and the English used Phalanx military to become a world power.
Hope she don't use this "knowledge" in her history lesson at school.

Ah yes the feel of might and power when you destroy civs for the first time I remember it well. From this point forward I couldn't stop to smash civs and conquer the world.
It's such a good feeling to be the world leader

TRIED to is the operative key word. we used a little calculator that was able to swit to hex mode. He watched me like a hawk on the computer after that. Ever since I've been a terror, always finding ways to break stable programs and operating systems

actually, i used to read civilopedia, and when i got to my first real history clas in jr high I was amazed at how many ppl didnt know about phalnax, legions, oracle etc.

Yes wonderful. Train the new generation of Civ-manicas. May this game never die and even in 100years people should discuss about this game like we do now
!!Generation Civ!!

I read the Civlopedia too was very interesting and like you I got my first contact with history in this game.
