Would ancient Civ II strategy threads interest you?
Just curious.
During Apolyton's first year (and later as well) the Civ II strategy forum ruled. It was, in fact, almost as lively as the off-topic forum today... Imagine the same buzz, but all about Civ II strategy...
New threads by the minute, posts quickly building up within them... Tips, questions, debate... This was before "the scientific approach" to analyzing the game had fully developed... Most advice was experience-based (as opposed to experiment-based, even though much testing was conducted concerning, for example, the Civ II battle engine) and discussions were lively and fun...
I guess many printed the threads and archived them, at least that's what I did. The collection quickly grew out of control and started to take up lots of space in my small student room...
So a few years later, when my Civ and Apolyton addiction had losened their grip somewhat (and the old strategies were hopelessly outdated), I decided to throw it all away, something I regret today...
My question is this: would it interest you to read the old strategy threads?
