An Heroic Epic to ensure that Civ2 lives forever

[Julius Brenzaida]

Allright this title is a bit exagerated. What a propose is a new succession game played by the old and truly faithful to Civ2. Right now, invasion earth and crusaders are about the only topics in the civ2 forum, with the record attempt by shade.
Who would join me in a new Epic for the glory of civ2 ??? It could be real fun if we stress in our stories the beauty of that game. Do you imagine, for example, the true joy of a caravan delivery ?

I'm in

MGE compatible.

[La Fayette]

So am I
(though I don't think I shall stop playing civ3 after 2 weeks since I am having great fun being a rookie + I have discovered a strategy that I named 'size 6' in honor of Xin Yu and it makes the fun even greater)

[Plumbean]

I will join

I will help where I can ,Im glad your still working on Civ II.I stoped playing Civ III weeks ago let me know what you want and I will do what I can

[Julius Brenzaida]

Great, as I know Lafayette has MGE too, it should be on it.
I'm off for a few days in the mountains. I come back friday
Let's hope we can find one or two more people.
And let's start thinking about the kind of challenge we want

[Plumbean]

Just to let you know I have MGE,I havent been around as long as the rest but i will help where I can thanks

[Julius Brenzaida]

Well, it's a miracle that I can post ! It is so slooooooow with my computer. Grrrr ! Anyway, I am glad to see that we're already 4. I think it's going to be an MGE one. Maybe we should wait for some other people to come back when the server is back to normal speed. LaFayette do you have an idea what would be fun to play for a scenario. Otherwise, I love to play on earth maps, we could start in Hawain, or some place like that to make it more interesting. Any one has a better idea ?

[Cavalcadeus]

I might be interested in playing a scenario succession game. How about Red Front? Each person could play 3 turns. Thats 4 players each year. Or do you guys prefer more of a country building scenario? Oh, I have MGE.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Why not Red Front. Haven't played it yet, haven't played much scenarios indeed
Any other idea
If we're five, that's already great

[Smash]

hmmmm...could be interesting.Red Front is generally won or lost in the first 3 turns though.At least at Marshall(deity) level.I'm not so sure.....

How about a long skinny flat world map?.230 x 20...I never had a real easy game on that kind of map

Smash: I like your idea.

I guess your right most of the fun is in the first 6 turns(summer).

I really would like to join in,sadly enough I don't have the time
First I have to study and second I still have my own story to finnish.
BUT I ALREADY AM YOUR FIRTS READER OF THE STORY.

Looking forward.

Smash good idea. But why only 230x20. I think I could manage to change something in mapedit.exe and allow a 1600x20 map, does it sound challenging
Any other idea of scenario
Nobody going with my gigaearth island start

[Smash]

that was just a limitation without "No Limits".With a little luck,or editing we could get a map that is blocked off at several locations forcing overland settlement to continue moving across the "belt".These maps also don't register polar land so trireming along a pole becomes risky business.One 1600 long sounds like an epic to me!!

Island giga would be ok also.Something where we are unable to meddle with at least some of the ais development for a good time so they get established.
