for OCC, (diety, random small map, first run) i think its 1645 (Paul). on subsequent attempts with the same game, people have done noticably better, but generally don't count that towards a best mark

for bloodlust, break it down to 0 cities, and 1 or more cities.
for 0 cities: i think its 750 BC (vik)
for 1 or more cities, i think its 1300 BC (Shaka Naldur)

Space race: i think its 1075AD (Arii)

for general high score, i think both Ming and rah have scores (unposted) higher than what is in the Apolyton Civ II diety hall of fame (well over 2000%)


All of those numbers/names come from a quick scan of the older threads in this (strategy) forum, so I may have missed something in there. Should give you some pretty lofty targets to shoot at though

The actual scores or percentages the game awards are of little interest to most people. To achieve a massive score is more a measure of mundane accountancy/management skills, rather than playing an enjoyable game in a winning way!

Now dates are different! These show how good you really are in all areas of Civ. Players on this site have conquered the world in the BC years. Landings have been made on AC pre 1100 (Arii) and pre 1600 (Dave V) Paul is the current OCC champion (only actual games count for records - not scenarios) and I believe he has landed around 1500. There are many OCC fans who will give the exact date.

The score is irrelevant - but the date shows how fast you can conquer or land a spaceship.

God ... I guess I will have to buy six refrigerators full of food, break down all pivate contact to other humans and just PLAY.

Scouse Gits, you´re perfectly right about the score. Playing for score means WORK. Playing for fun is ... well... fun.

But I thought conquering a normal map with 7 civs on deity in 1784 was good. I will get MGE asap, just to see how it is to play against humans. MGE is the only possibility for multiplayer, isn´t it? Theer isn´t an update or something?

[Scouse Gits]

1784 sounds great! Do you play fundy or commie?

You will have to buy MPGE for playing against humans. I couldn't find it in the UK - if Germany is the same -you may have to purchase plain "Multiplayer" (Version 5.3)

I thought the Euro version was UCC Ultimate Civ Collection or something like that??

I remember conquering the world around 200 BC once, damn I love vet crusaders...

Ah but ...
I recently discovered that although I have the identical MP to SG(2) v5.3.0f Patch 2 as he remarks above -- if you go to the diagnostic tool provided by DirectX - it defaults to C:\windows\system\DXDiag.exe - and look under the 'network' tab - the beast has been recognised as "Civilization II Gold"!!
Where do we go from here?
Do we use the 1.3 patch??
HELP

Someone once told me that the English equivalent of the Russian word "Nyet" is "Yes, but..."

I started out at the lowest difficulty level. After mastering(?) one level, I would move to the next higher level. As a result, when I finish a game, my top 5 scores are ones from my King level days (4 of them) or my Emperor days (1 game). No matter how good I do at Deity level, I can't break that elusive top 5 list. Yes, I play for fun to conquer or reach AC first, but the day I get a better score at deity level than my other top 5 scores will be a very happy day!

Chainsaw, you're gonna want to try a few SP games with MGE to see how you do as far as high score goes. Believe me, you might see a noticable degradation in your own "perceived" skills. From what I read on the boards, maybe I should go the other way and find a non-MGE version. Might do wonders for my own ego.

Just checked my copy of MP.

Ultimate Civilization II 5.3 (Patch 2 ; 1 Feb 1999).

Caesar - make us feel better and tell us 200BC was on a Small World - not a Normal one!

Sorry for the late answer, but I hadn´t neither the time nor the possibility to go online the whole last week...

Scouse Gits:
I don´t remember if it was fundy or commie. I didn´t build the Statue, so I went slaughtering in monarchy. I conquered SoL very late, the last civ I killed had it, then i switched to commie, I think.

I general, when I play expansionist, I make war in Fundamentalism. Science doesn´t matter that much, when your army consisiting of howies, AEGIS, and MechInf is twice as big as the sum of all the other civs´ units, and its hard to build up such an army playing commie.

Talking about MP:
Hm. So I will really need to buy a new game (which I have sought in MANY game shops here in Germany, but I CAN`T FIND IT!!! AAARGH!)

But I think you´re right. I would get my ass kicked playing against one of you

Sounds tragic. What is your emperor HighScore?

Argh! I left the scores at home. I'll try to post them tonight. But I do remember that I have at least once score from Prince, King, and Emperor in my top five list.

kcbob, I had the same situation (although my high scores even at king level were more like 400% than the 2000% that some people have gotten at deity). Finally I got tired of it and deleted the hall-of-fame file. Next time you retire from a game, it'll recreate. Then load up your best deity games, retire from them, and you'll have a deity-only list.

But as far as actually BEATING the lower-level scores, I can't help either you or me.

General high score : The highest score I have ever heard of (and it was not Ming's) is 3015%.

ARRGH! I left my list at home! I do remember that my high score is only about 230%. And as for deleting the list, that's what I enjoy most now... trying to beat that lowest score. Then again, I really don't try for a high score. I just love to win, baby. ( The truth is out! I'm a closet Oakland Raiders fan. )
