Do you still play Civ II

[Dis]

a virus wiped out all my civ2 stuff. I did manage to save my Hall of fame though. That is all that matters.

You will be remembered as Dissident the pathetic.

Civ II is the first thing I put on a new computer -- it's my way of runninga test to see if the machine is working -- I figure if I can't play civ, then there is something wrong with the box.

I've had SMAC for about three years now and have yet to open it...Ditto for MOO2. I can't wait for civ III to get to discount prices so I can have it (unplayed) on my shelf as well.

You really gotta play SMAC It's the best TBS made. Makes Civ 2 look quaint, though I like Civ2 in a nostalgic way.

Boooo........Hiss

248Mb, 2004 files, 96 folders...

How many of those files are saved games? At up to 150k a pop they can add up quickly. Mine are either zipped or erased after a while.

Hmmmm... someone posted in Other Games that no one posted anymore in CivII forums, so I came to give a look.



Actually, I stopped dead playing CivII when SMAC demo came out (although for the first 6 or 7 months I kept thinking that CivII was still "somewhat" superior to SMAC....). Except a very short interval when a former colleague rescued the MGEdition and I "tutored" him for a while over my former company's lan...

The options in this poll don't befit me tho, because I will never state that "I lost my interest" in CivII, and I'm NOT playing CivIII (and I'ma breaking the legs of anyone who told that :grrr: )
I would just say that my interest in a classic jewel like CivII is in a "suspended animation" mode, and considering that I'm getting off SMAC (with lotsa effort...), I might give CivII a kick again next fall, especially since when I last played it I didn't even have an Internet account, leave alone knowing of Apolyton existence...

ALWAYS Civ2 until someone comes up with a better game to make scenarios with. That to me is the main attraction of anything in life - the possibility of co-creation.
Plus I learn so much history from other scenario makers in a fun way.

By the way, we have been having a series of wars in the Spanish forum about Civ2 and Civ3. In the end, there are more Civ2 fundamentalists than Civ3 fundamentalists...

Civ2 is a cult game. Civ3 will fade away and be "one of those games"

I guess it wasn't a +1 at the saving throw versus "Otto's Irresistible Laugh"...

I did not "weigh" my CivII files,
but if saved files are light, Mods with sounds are heavy! :
There may be several hundreds of Mégabytes (Mo) on my disk.

[trickey]

[DrSpike]

Well the fact that civ2 is still drawing new players speaks for itself.
