    Civ II MP player sightings

    The release of civ III has had a devastating effect on the civ II community. How is your MP circle holding up? Some seem to be doing okay (Ming's group for example).

    The Australian scene is pretty dead. finbar surfaced after months MIA last night (he's been working his butt off and out of town a lot). We had good chat on icq. Also saw makeo post on the OT. I talk to Hydey fairly regularly, whose been playing civ III and a bit of TOT, and Deity occasionally appears - but I suspect he's defected to civfanatics Mp forum

    Miss our regular games guys

    Havent had much interest in coming here recently as the fun seems to have gone. Civ 3 desperaty needs a MP edition to revitalise my interest.

        Believe it or not, Civ II is alive and well at Civfanatics ladder and also the zone. I play exclusively on the zone and the ladders, and if you would like me to join your playing circles, please feel free to add my ICQ to your list.

          We've lost a couple of players from our group. But we have lost a few over the years to attrition anyway, so I can't say it's due to CIV III. But we have also added a few players including a few zone players. So we seem to be benefiting from a decreased number of games elsewhere.

          We're still going strong on Friday and Saturday nights. Every now and then we don't get enough players on a given night, but that isn't different from the past.

          Anyone interested should just check out the long running "setting up IP games" thread or contact us via ICQ.

            I'm still around but my opinions about whats fun has apparently changed. Don't have the patience I once had. 1x1x games have suddenly become too slow for me. I'm also not that interested in diplo games like I once was.

            I anticipate my future circle of civ players to be very small, as I think I will become quite picky on what kind of game I'll play......I'll see though.

              Hope you're not including me in that. I'm just temporarily lost, and it ain't because of Civ III, which I haven't been able to play either. Hopefully I'll be back sooner rather than later.

              I do note, however, that Saturday nights have been considerably more sober lately. But maybe that should be

                Good to hear it Bird. You've been missed. Hope you get everything straightened out soon.

                Sober, BAH

                  I will play with you Dad.

                  I enjoy playing Civ3 , its a nice single player game.

                  I still enjoy playing Civ2 MP as well.

                  If we get some people to play on our Aussie evenings you can count me in.

                    The big drawback for me is the kids. Mrs Horse is on a fitness kick so I'm minding the boys a lot on weeknights.

                        Oh no! Drake, diplogaming can't loose you. You are one of the good ones. At least show up for the first Civ3 MP Diplogame if it comes to pass.

                            Civ2MP rocks like rebelyell

                            I just love it!

                            Civ 3 is a good SP game but I don't enjoy it. I'm not entirely sure if that's due to the lack of MP or whether it's more than that. At first I really loved the early game, however the late game is so slow and boring in the ones I tried to play... just gave up, my PC too slow, I dunno....

                            But we just started a new USA Sat night Civ2 diplo and I love this 10x more than Civ3. My top game pref is Civ2MP and I hope we can get another Aussie regular session happening soon too.

                            If Civ3MP happens I hope I'm not disappointed... but from what I can see Civ2MP will have a resurgence of popularity!
