  • CIV 2 - Like a pair of comfortable old slippers

    I haven't played CIV 2 in about 2 years...
    ...until recently that is.

    Every day I take a train to work, an hour and Half each way, and my usual way of passing the time was to read a book. You can imagine how expensive that gets (about £6 a week - not including the cost of new book shelves or wives etc)

    About a week ago I installed Civ2 on my company laptop, next best option (or so I thought) as NT4 is incompatable with CIV III. Sat down in the carrage, logged in and...

    ....AAAAH and it all came flooding back .

    There is something about CIV 2 that CIV 3 fails to capture. Not sure what it is, or whether I will keep the feeling over the next few weeks, but I am enjoying it now.

    ...roll on the end of the day

          Excellent! Welcome to the Civ II player club! So everything isn't yet lost when it comes to good old Civ II. Unfortunately I have been too busy now to play Civ II. But when I have spare time, I'm sure you can find me playing Civ II.

              Ah, but even that is covered, I travel between the terminuses (termini?), Caterham to London Bridge..I am even guaranteed a seat..


              ...Anyway Persepolis has already fallen and its population enslaved by my English Legions.

                Here's what I told my cousin:

                For me, Civ is the cute girl next door. Civ2 is the girl next door, all grown up. Civ3 is the girl next door with too much makeup and perfume, with no respect for my friends and too many friends I'd rather not hang around.

                Oh, and CTP(2) is girl next door with body piercings and tatoos, but once you get past that she's a good friend.

                            May I suggest, in the same vein as the original, that SMAC is the girl two houses away, wearing the enigmatic expression that's quite simply out of this world.
