In the beginning...

[Marquis de Sodaq]

...the united tribe of Apolyton parted with its nomadic ways. They had found a fine spot to build their first city. The council convened, and the future was discussed.

Game parameters:
MGE (the vote was close...)
Deity, raging hordes, 7 civs with restart
Normal+ map (60x90)
Starting techs: Alphabet, Code of Laws, Pottery

Tribe name 'United Apolyton Republic' did not fit in the custom menu, so I dropped the republic part. We are United Apolyton, dark blue.

On my very first start, we begin so:

[Hydey]

nice spot to start .

[Shaka Naldur]

finally

the location sucks a little, but if we have to settlers that´s good enough

is there a shield in the spot of the settlers?

Ok,can someone help to get my Civ2.42 to MGE...with a ptch or something???

President, I assume that a poll on what the capitol should build once it is constructed is in order.

I did that, but now my civ2 is in spanish...es una problemo...

[Kassiopeia]

Does this MGE introduce how big differences in the tech tree, the improvements, units, wonders and their prerequisites? Can I work free of hindrance as a City Planner without it?

[Gramphos]

What did you name the leader?

thx Shaka
ok went there and found 4 zips-->just to make sure:I need them all 4???(probably)

I did that, but now my civ2 is in spanish...es una problemo...

I already took a look in the zips,and if every thing is like I think you might be able to solve it:
just start all over
-->instal civ2 (your original)
-->extract the zips but DON'T EXTRACT the text files.since the patch is just overwritting this might be the solution...(just a guess,since I'm not ready sure you need the 4 zips==>probably)

I tried that, and I think some of the text files change with the different versions, as it would crash on startup unless I transferred the text files...

Anyone want to send me the english text files for MGE?

or just post them here so other ppl(me for example) can get them to.

An other little question:for our president:
Where/how(PM/Thread) do you want to get the final advice of your advisors?(and by when??)

You'd probably want to go here instead for the patch:

(Note that this is illegal and personally I find this so open appraising of such an illegal matter quite revolting , but that's beside the point)

As soon as your polls close. That will save me the time of reading every poll thread to see if they are closed, and what the results are. A summary in a pm will be good.

[Gramphos]

I think that the mge patch has English text files in it.
