Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I have two copies of Civ installed. One for (groan) Zone play that is the same, and another altered to play on Gigamaps, which has modifed units.gif and rules.txt
Some changes in my custom game:
Paratroopers function like helicopters, Attack helicopters like fighters used to.
Bombers have 3 range, fighters 2 range for escorts.
Subs have increased movement and attack.
AEGIS can carry missiles.
Carrier has x2 versus air, higher defence (not that the AI ever builds)
Marines have 10 attack. (actually useful)
Tanks have 11 attack(in order to help out the AI hordes)
Alpine Unit picture is replaced, renamed Elite Inf.

I did the same about two years ago, I designed a collected a new set of graphics for the game, I them added these. Letter I used the extra techs and unit spaces to add to the game a little, but its still very much the same. I think this just adds to the games playablity after a will the original graohics just don't live up any more. So we all improve the game in little ways. Just enjopy them.
I have walked since the dawn of time and were ever I walk, death is sure to follow. As surely as night follows day.
Yes, installing mindseye's Hires units mod really revitalises the game despite the rules remaining the same. It's still my default graphics set although I'm not playing civ2 much these days.
On the glamorous spy image - looks like it's not going to be around in Civ3.
Case, appears the consensus is you are a freak, but that's not so bad OR that you are quite normal for this enviroment which is itself a little freaky.
