Hi guys,
just wanna let you know I finished my very own adaptation of Civ2. After several weeks work (well not day and night) the game corresponds exactly to my taste.
The game plays still very much like the old one, but every aspect has been thoroughly examined to see if it fit. Some features:
- tech tree entirely restructured; about half of the techs new. Including: Tanning, Public Opinion, Imperialism, War Machines, Electric Media, Fascism and Motorization. Every single tech slot occupied (excluding Fusion Power; I don't want safe Nuclear Plants!)
- all new terrain (from the top of my mind): Polar, Cold Fields, Forest (Pine, Seasonal, Mediterranean), Warm Fields (three different types), Wetland (three different types), Mountains, Tropical Highland, Rain Forest and Savannah.
- all new special resources include Honey, Seals, Drugs, Rubber, Shellfish, Glass. All artwork by me and it looks great (wish I could show it here...)
- several new buildings and units, including Trade Centers
(Superhighways), Slave Markets (Offshore Platform), Cataphracts (3.2.2), Machine Gunners (2.6.1) and Mobile SAMs
- all new Wonders, including Rheinland Industry (KRC), Triple Alliance (UN) and Stonehenge (CO).
One suggestion: if you ever decide to radically alter the game yourself, you'd better put your social life on the shelves for some weeks. It's distracting like hell
Isn't it great how much fun you can have with a game 7 years old? Anyways. Thanks for listening!
