    You can download a patch, 2.42 I believe, M.N.
    Makes regular Civ II into MP, unless I'm misinformed.

      Would it be a far better poll if the question was "what settings did you play when you were a newbie"? Then everyone that has posted here could vote.

        There's been a vote, just not using my crappy poll.
        If one looks over posts, "Newbies" prefer 2X(2X) King; just as I knew they did.

          Well of course, the setting with the least problems to solve.

            I've tried but it didn't work...
            Maybe I'll try again one of this days.

              Slow wasn't quite clear. You need the 2.42 patch to patch your original civ2 to the last SP version used, then also the 2.42 - MGE upgrade patch, which I think can be found at civfanatics.

                  Thanks. I already have the 2.42 patch, I'll try the whole thing again.

                    Shoot, you can get MGE for something like $16 nowadays. I have it installed separately from Civ2 2.42 because the AIs are different. Also, a regular Civ2 save can be shared with anybody, but MGE SP saves can only be read by MGE.

                      ... $16? Not in Sarzana's Swamps... To have Civ3 I had to make obscure maneuvers asking my US colleagues to buy and send me a copy... It could be very hard for me to show that I'm working in my company if I come again with a new "order"...

                        I'm only a few months into this and haven't played enough to have strong preferences, but I voted Deity. Have only played MP with the Ming-RAH axis (sucking, d'accord), so can't really judge the 2x/1x aspect.

                        I do know that RAH Rules screw me up. 2x1x really changes the game. I can't imagine how bizarre it gets when you add 2x movement into the mix...
