What patch for Civ 2 ?
I have Civ2 which I am beginning to learn how to play. What patch do I need for it? I read about 2 on Gamespot and don't know which one I need. I do not have multiplayer edition.

Sboog, the 2.42 patch available from Gamespot (also available on this site) is the latest for Civ II.

sboog - patches only apply to the multiplayer edition of the game. You don't need to worry about them for the original Civ 2 (single player) version of the game. You should invest in the multiplayer edition, though. It's great fun.

Sorry, finny, but you have it wrong ...
Single player Civ2 ships in various forms, but the latest release is as has been said v2.42 the patch is available from the Apolyton Data Base. This patch fixes a great many bugs in earlier versions that make the early versions sometimes unplayable - a must have!
There are two later variants of Civ2 (SP) called Conflicts in Civilization (CiC - can't recall the version) & Fantastic Worlds (FW v2.78 IIRC) these upgrades are simply about adding fascilities for Scenario playing and building and don't materially effect the game play.
The mulitplayer variant of Civ is Multiplayer Gold In the US Multiplayer Classic Collection in most of Europe or simply Multiplayer in the UK
all of these can and should be upgraded to v1.3 again available from here make sure you get the appropriate patch for your original - I personally would then recommend getting Julius' 'No Limits' patch and upgrading to that - also from here ....

I naturally bow down to SG1's superior knowledge, blame the antipodean sun, and retire to the library with the requisite bottle of port and pistol.
