  • Why do you keep playing Civ2?

    I'm curious, what keeps you coming back for more? Is it simply that you have a great time, or is this your favorite form of intellectual stimulation? Are you obsessed with getting a higher score or getting to Alpha Centauri sooner? Or maybe you're not sure why you keep playing, you're just addicted!

      You should add a few more options:

      The new maps.
      The new scenarios.
      Designing Scenarios.
      Designing Maps.
      Multiplayer
      Other

      etc.

        Civ 3 is fun. Like Firaxis said you start doing one thing, then another, then the first thing is done, and you start doing something else, ect.

          My reason is that there is simply nothing better to play right now (as far as strategy games go). The most promising prospect is Clash of Civilizations, but seeing as their demo 5 was supposed to be out over a year ago, and it has still to see the light of day, it's not a very promising prospect indeed.

              because of the addiction
              It's one of those games that never becomes too boring

                You'd add an option "I rarely play Civ 2 nowadays, mostly SMACing or else".

                      Mostly I play to unwind from a busy reality. The main reason unwinding involves CivII is because of that needle running from my pc to my arm. I'm addictied!

                          Another reason I play, is that someday I hope to have Civ3. And I just think for me there is more integrity playing and studying the classic one first.

                          Kind of like getting to know the original before you haul off and get the one with bells and whistles.

                          Play Bach Inventions before you tackle his "Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue."

                          Gives you something under your belt.

                              For me it's a little bit of ev'rything: sheer enjoyment, addiction, challenge...
