Civ I

[SandMonkey]

I downloaded this from a site... it's really fun! I find it amazing that I can build the Pyramaids, and then be in communism by 1000 BC And it's so funny to look at the units, their names, things that I'm used to in Civ2 that isn't in this...

ahh yes but now i understand why htis game became so popular.

[Mercantile]

[Andemagne]

have fun folks... I downloaded the first one, i dunno what the other downloads are like.

What's the deal with having to prove your worthiness to the crown? Is this just a way to keep people from pirating software??

[Mercantile]

Anyone remember how to speed the game up, its too slow and i remember it b eing far quicker, i used to start a game and then quit and start again, and that fixed the problem, but it doesnt' work in this version, maybe a windows thing

[SandMonkey]

i dunno, this is kinda annoying, hwoever zipped up this game kept all the saved game files and the hall of fame file, too... so now you have someone elses hall of fame, and a bunch of useless saved game files

[Dissident Aggressor]

how do you get it to work? I get a whole bunch of files. and cannot find one exe file.

[SandMonkey]

DA - This works under the MSDOS environment on windows, so you have to look for the file that is just named "Civ" and is an application. I actually had to install the files even though i had unzipped them already, i don't know if i did somethign wrong... but it works now

[Mercantile]

yes just hit the civ file, worked for me without having to install anything manually. But the slow speed is killing me softly with his hand...... argggggg

Civ I.. ahh yes, the game that started it all for me

I almost overlooked it when it came with a new PC back in 1992? 93? Little did I know this would become the game which would have me soo addicted!

I still remember the first time I had disorder and it told me to make entertainers (evlvises) and I had no idea how to do that so in frustration I started clicking everywhere on the screen! then voila! If you take a person out of the working field, it frees them to do other things! Ahhh the memories...

Same with me! I remember going through the software bundle that came with my 486 and finding a gem in the rough. My first few games I almost gave up because I could only make warriors, I didn't know how to change production!
What I miss the most about Civ I is earthquakes and floods - and best of all, when an opponent's city would revolt and join you, just because they admired you so! None of this diplomat bribing crap! I also loved how at the end it would show that animation of the territory that you had won and lost by showing your colour on the map.
