What are we going to do when our computers get too fast to play civ II?
The day is coming. I just loaded the first Close Combat on my current PC, which is about the same vintage as Civ II, and it played at hyper speed, totally useless.
What are we gonna do?

Look, I just don't anymore, okay? -
How does that effect turn based games?
The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin Yu -

Don't through your old computers out, save them just for civ2
or perhaps slow the new ones down while playing civ 2
The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
Hydey the no-limits man.

For TBS the speed thing is not an issue. Other incompatibilities are possible, I guess, but there are always emulators.Comment

Come into the 21st century and (foolishly) buy Civ III?Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

Coming from a guy who can't play many of his old faves due to new computer (Colonization, Great Naval Battles, Centurian) I think I'll just keep one that will play Civ 2.
Civ 3... No thanks.Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks...Comment

Why on earth would we buy computers that dont play civ?

For civII, I can't see any problems arising from faster processors. Until they get a working/tested version of MP for III, no interest here.
RAHIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Incompatabilities in the relatively near future aren't inconceivable.........even now civ2 runs under protest under the 32-bit operating systems with some hardware configurations.Comment

Another reason to start throwing our weight after Freeciv perhaps? That one is future proof
Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

But you think everything is a reason to start throwing our weight behind freeciv!

Well, you gotta plan for the future.
That original Civ2 game concept is still kicking after 7 years is proof that it's damn close to perfect! (Ever noticed that most people still play with original rules?) But not even the mighty Civ2MP will stay with us forever...Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness.

People in China have long been using 'Speed Gear' to adjust gaming speed -- you can play as fast as 256 times of normal speed, or as low as 1/256 of it. So there will be no problem in the future.Comment
