For the record the earliest conquest I recall on these boards was Dr Fell's outstanding Ellie based conquest in c 1500BC with respawning Civs!!! this entailed taking out every AI on the same turn!!!!

ottok - if i understand you correctly, stealthlover quotes 1.0? in his first post IIRC my civ2 disk came with 1.08c. but I have heard of people with 1.03 - I guess he probably had one of those - and they are so horribly bug ridden to make them virtually unplayable.
What is your problem with 2.42 ?
OK it is SP, and the AI could be stronger, but it is pretty much bug free - or at least we all know the bugs that are there...

Yeah anyone that played civ2 out of the box knows that it pretty much sucked. It was still potentially a great game of course, but hard to tell through all the frustration.

The version I had said 1.0 and I loved it. I never even noticed the problem with the frozen heralds until I read about it on these forums. Afterwards I got ToT which caused me to have to alter my cruise missle paratrooper tactic. When the cruise missle was dropped to an 18 it went clank against a city with sam and sdi. I also got AC, call to power, civ3 but never enjoyed them as much as civ2.Comment

2.81.71 vs 2.4.2Comment

Uh, just a simple question, is patch #2.42 actually the latest official patch for good old classic Civ2?"Pointless Sig Quote"Comment

Yes.
After that the scenario add-ons ("Conflicts in Civilization", and "Fantastic Worlds") hit the stores.Comment

Excellent.
One more thing, though- is it possible to get a name change around here? "TheWizard" seems rather passé..."Pointless Sig Quote"Comment

C'mon, be a man...
Just play MGE -- Civ2 has evolved, and believe me, while the AI is more surly, it certainly isn't any smarter!I just got the gold edition, version 5. something, but I read the AI are much more aggressive there. I had a much harder time making peace with them than samson did. I want to try it with v 2.42. Any ideas?

Send Ming a "donation to a charity of his choice" and he may allow you to get your name changed.

I'm now running 2.42 and the rather spiffy HiRes mod pack.
