Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
My sister has played civ2 for a while, but she likes adventures better.
Getting my wife to like civ3 is a mission impossible....
Getting her to let me play civ is difficult enough....

If you can't solve it, it's not a problem--it's reality
"All is well your excellency, and that pleases me mightily"
But I don't take the peacful route. War is much better. Much, much better.
And I managed to find more girls who like Civ too. I frequent another forum specifically for women, so I decided to see how many of them played Civ. I started a thead about it, and lo and behold, there were numerous Civ players there. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them a.) were here at Apolyton or b.) had husbands/boyfriends who visited Apolyton.
So we've already 'gotten' Bella Hella, Playa del Carmen and lots of player's girlfriends.
I have a girlfriend who lets me play, but never plays herself.
Any playing Belgian beauty out there?
Mind you Alva, you're not on my list!

Did you know that Miang and Wowbagger's girlfriend are also civ players? I got my inspiration from them.
Moonie was the one that brought me here, you can thank her.
I hope you don't forget us there.
I think she's trying to win the high score on every game setup too. Bahhhh, I don't even have the patience to finish a game, screw getting the high score of the world.
No, I wasn't trying for the high score. I just recently realize that I could win the high score if I don't win the game too soon.
i guess the only typically "female" thing i do in my games is pay a little more attention to how things look instead of mining the crap out of everything or placing farms on random tiles. i like things to look organized and make sense when i place cities and do terrain improvements.
What does that have to do with being female? I'm a guy yet I do the same thing, I just like having my game world look good. I even removed mines from all grassland etc. because I thought it was ugly having these square blocks all over the map. Plus I've been grabbing Sn00py's graphics etc. and fiddling with the colours, too much of a yellow tint for my liking. Now if only could do something about those railroads! Aesthetics is a cross-gender thing.

you're right, it's totally not a "female" thing to do, and i know a lot of people feel the same way. i guess i was just using that as an example of something i might do that other people might not. *shrug* bad example, i guess.
so basically.... sounds like there are no differences in the way that girls play and the way that guys play! go, equality!
ok, i shut up now.
drones to the left of me, spartans to the right - here i am, stuck in the middle with yang

About the only difference that I can see is that there tends to be more guys than girls who find the game entertaining. Playing style is irrelevant for those that do play. After all, Joan of Arc was just as ruthless and cunning as her enemies, who just happened to be mainly men.

I read a newsweek artical about games about 6 mo. - 1yr ago. It had the stat that 54% of all gamers are women. They tend to play more MP games, but less shooters. Hearts and bridge, yes. Sims, yes. Quake 3 no...
I'd bet that Civ has a fairly high level of female players...

Yes, I guess that you'd have to look at the nature of the game. Civ kind of falls somewhere in between really. You can be aggressive or not. I tend to play peacefully myself, though I don't mind kicking butt if I have to, or I figure can get away with it.
And heaven forbid if someone starts encroaching on my territory! As long as I have lots of room to expand, I'll be a nice guy, and I expect the same in return.

wow, that seems like a really high percentage to me. was it strictly computer games, or were they including all kinds of games (monopoly, card games, etc.)? i wonder if they've done a recent study? it would be interesting to see the percentage of computer/video game players who are female.
i noticed a few female diablo 2 players, but they were still WAY in the minority, like 6% or so according to an unofficial poll.
anyway, thanks for the info. that's definitely food for thought...

Again, it has been a while, but i belive it _does_ include every woman who plays yahoo games, but _does not_ include every woman who plays solitaire while the boss isn't looking. But then, I may be wrong, it might include _all games_ that _every woman_ plays...
Your 6% figure for diablo seems about right, though...
It has been my experience that women are _just_ as agressive as men are, though they ususaly channel it into other directions. So I wonder what the Civ3 men/women ratio is. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that it is at least 70/30...
Much, much better.
