Independence Day

[ramses II.]

To all our American friends:
Happy Independence Day and congratulations.
We (I'm German) will never forget what America has done for Germany after WW II.
Maybe some of the younger generation think different, but they haven't been witnesses of the Cold War like me (I'm 47).

US Independence day is July 4 - hoorah, all americans on the site! Ramses II., forget the cold war, WW2, etc, americans invented CIV!

aww, you aliens are so sweet.... now, if the ones our government is hiding out at area 51 are half as nice, maybe the movie independence day won't become reality....
Yeah, and don't forget to think of us whenever you: use an electric bulb, drive, fly in a plane, look at a monitor or TV, use the internet, nuke small nations, go to disneyland, use the telephone, take most modern medications, don't live in a communist state, VOTE, enjoy our fine McDonald's hamburgers, or kill some terrorist scum hiding out in your home nation.
as pangang says have a nice day

Getting nicely on our civ2 feet

By the way, is there not a civ2 "independance day" scenario
Where can one find it, is it a good one

[Jac de Molay]

I think there is one, but I dont remember where to find it. Will check around for it.

@Scouse Gits

Yes, I know the OT-Forums, but i don't "know" most of the people there ... Sorry.
Btw, on July 3rd, 1863, Gettysburg - who knew it?

[Scouse Gits]

Hey Ramses - I suspect that a new bunch of Succession Games might start in the next week or so - why don't you get on board?

@Scouse Gits[1]
Yes, I'd like to join a succession game. I didn't start one because there are some in progress. It would be a new experience for me. My strengths are in the middle game (bribing, trading, fighting, building, settling). I'm weak in micromanagement.
I like long term strategies (see my thread "Bribing a barb leader").
But I think there's enough room for every type of player in a succession game.

CiC had a scenario about the US War for Independence. I remember it being mediocre. La Fayette played it in his challenge thread. I was unable to cleanse the continent of englishmen before he did, tho.

JoeDaddy715, I believe the internal combustion engine and automobile were german inventions...

[Scouse Gits]

Did anyone notice over on civ2|Multiplayer deity started a thread "Do Canadians celebrate Independance Day too?" with content line "or are you still a colony?"
Finbar got in a one line rejoinder before the thread got locked

Independence is CiC. That's right.
But the record is not mine any longer, since Xin Yu finished his game by march 1863 IIRC (though with use of caravan rehoming...
).
