"Nothin' Fancy" Sxn Game

[La Fayette]

Too many is too many.
I step back.
...so many scenarios left anyway

[SCG]

methinks me overanalyze too much didn't mean to drive anyone off... let alone several. Does look like we room for obiwan18 now though?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Don't worry about it SCG. There are lots of games to go around. No hurt feelings on my end - and hopefully Straybow won't take my bowing out, personally

OK, I got excited and played 'til 1750BC. We have a spread out empire, Monarchy, Pottery, happiness problems, and tons of swamp. However, we have out First Canal!

Status: 2500 - 4 cities, 7 techs, 17 of 60 beakers till Monarchy. 1 gold

We need more cities, Monarchy, and Pottery for HG.

change phalanx to settlers in Hello There.
1. 2450 Madrid builds settlers. Head South. Hut: 50 g
2. 2400
3. 2350 Barbs sighted off N. coast. This could be trouble - our defence is thin...
4. 2300 Central Beach builds Horse - maybe we will be able to defend. Fishywheat founded. RB Settlers in Seville
5. 2250 Barbs Land in North. Looks like curtains for the warrior, Hut: 50g! Warrior tries to run away
6. 2200 HelloThere builds Settlers. Disorder in Seville - not solvable. Eventually somebody will move there. warrior sees hut. Horsie kills one barb archer. The other Barbs go away from the dead meat warrior.
7. 2150 Central Beach builds warriors. Barbs disappear! Whew. Hut: First Canal. The gods are with us!
8. 2100 Monarchy => Pottery. at end of turn, Revolution.
9. 2050 gov: Monarchy. Seville in order. Phalanx in Fishywheat
10. 2000 Cup of Sugar? founded in ICS spot near Hello There. Seville Helper founded on plains.
11. 1950 Seville Helper in disorder, again unsolvable without external help.
12. 1900
13. 1850 Hut: Currency. warrior from Seville to Seville Helper
14. 1800 pop: 200,000
15. 1750* Pottery=>Trade. Get those Gardens!

8 cities. 10 techs. Monarchy. 16 of 112 beakers for Trade.

good news bad news

looks like a nice continuation based on the log only one small problem

unless someone knows a way to load and play an MGE game in 2.42, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of the game now

I spent several hrs going around town and found countless stores with Civ II v 2.42, CtP II, Civ III (solo and PTW). Many had SMAC, a few had ToT, and I even found one with CtP I. However, none had the multiplayer gold version

SCG,

You may want to check out the thread at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=68357.

Or just go to e-bay. It seems to be readily available there. The ebay link in the above thread is still good, so there are lots of possibilities on auction, many for new, unopened games.

Hope this helps,

Monk

Grigor ... do you have 2.42? If you do - a replay is the best solution.

and if you don't, don't worry about it too much, a couple other 2.42 games I read about got switched to MGE, so i was expecting the possibility of it. I was just hoping it wouldn't be the 2nd posted save game Thats the main reason I spent 4 hrs running around town (before you posted your game), just in case.

Looking on the EBay links, there are 2 games out there, but bidding doesn't end for a few more days, and i'm not sure i'd want to spend as much as it's probably going to go for (one started at 0.49 and is up to $12 + $5 s/h with 2 days of bidding left). In any case, i'd be looking at possibly a couple weeks or more via that route.

As for that image, I had just figured out how to get images to appear directly in the post (see here and was having fun adding them in

[Scouse Gits]

SCG - I think we better let Straybow determine which version we play in as the majority of recent Succession Games have been played in MPE.

Uh - I have 2.42, I thought. I certainly do not have multiplayer. I looked up in the About Civ II and I got all the credits but no further info. It is a Mac version, but that should be no problem, right????

So, I used the browse button on the reply screen and saved it from my disc. Is there another way?

Please help.

[SCG]

i remember smash had that problem with the OCC games - anyone remember how he got around it with his mac version?

[Grigor]

OK, I am trying to make the attachment again. Browse button, find file, click submit.

Fingers are crossed

[SCG]

didn't work again, although i know it can be done We just need to find out what patch or group of settings needs to be used. I'm doing a quick scan of the really old strategy forum posts, although i think it was a problem raised inside another thread so don't know if i'll see it on the first pass

There's your answer. Mac version is MGE-compatible only. Ask Jrabbit... he's in the same situation.

I don't know what you can do about the turns you just played - you can load 2.42 into MGE, but obviously not the other way around, as JCG has shown. If play continues from your save it has to be MGE. Straybow should be the one to make the call on that.

You're welcome to join the game I started (Hard Times Succession Game), which is MGE. If you do, please post before playing, so that we know you're 'in', and nobody else winds up playing the same turns as you.

And let me know if you can't download MGE saves in Mac... for some reason when our other Mac user (Jrabbit) downloads, they have to be zipped
