I think the MedMod2-beta thread had nearly/over 200 replies...
If you stop to look at the main forums page before diving into CTP2, you may also notice to your shock and amazement that the CTP2 general forum has almost as many posts as the Civ2 general forum, which granted doesn't include strategy, MP or help... But even so, neither does this forum much, so we CTP2 can't be that bad after all

I had Intermediate micro exam today (fri) which I suppose is equivalent to your micro II subject, what uni are you at (me Melb Uni).
I'm at the University of Auckland. And I suspect that the two papers would be very similar. We use "intermediate micro" text books. The Econ dept at AU calls all Micro papers "Microeconomics"...so you have to differintiate between them by refering to the stage/year/level.

725 BC – Skeeve the Slender, A very distant relative of Snorf’s founder ascends to the throne after VivalaCTP2 and takes the reigns of a peaceful, albeit boring, kingdom. His first order of business is to do away with research on this thing called “Drama”, and start something called “Shipbuilding”. Of course, Skeeve has no idea what use a ship has, except it involves a very strange technology of creating something that despite its size, can float on water. Public works is raised to 20% to make some more roads. Having a fettish for roads, Skeeve also sets Snorf to work on the Appian Way.
700 BC – Rumors abound that some weirdos called the Incans just declared war on a bunch of wackos called the Ethiopians. Skeeve’s non-response prompts fierce criticism among his advisors. One of them asks him sharply, “What is it with you Skeeve? Are you ignorant or just apathetic?”. Skeeve is reported as saying: “Listen Pal, I don’t know, and I don’t care.”
700 BC - 575 BC Not a creature was stirring, not even a wombat.
575 BC – Rumors abound that a bunch of good-for-nothings called the “Greeks” have caught wind of our Appian Way project, and started one themselves. Skeeve declares war on them just for spite, but no ambassadors… or any single member of the Greek nation can be found.
550 BC – Distant sounds of Pillaging are heard. It sounds like clanging swords and a “whoosh whoosh” noise. Beats the hell out of anyone in Australia as to what that means.
500 BC – The art of Shipbuilding is finally revealed by learned men of the land. A prototype Coracle is begun in Yound NSW, and will be ready in 475BC. Also, the very first domestic trade route is established between Snorf and Rooville! Glass is mined out of the Snorfian Mountains and sold in Rooville. After decades of boredom, all the activity this year is just too much for Skeeve. He dies on a mini-Coracle party-boat between Iratland and Jonnyopolis while celebrating the Australian achievements. An autopsy reveals that his blood alcohol level was 20%. (How we got the technology for that, who knows?!) The reign of the Kingdom passes on to someone with a connection to BerXpert the first... but who?
Well, at least we've got a Coracle now. Maybe things will begin to pick up.
... or not.
500BC Ber the eXpert win the fastest one-drink-one-gallon-pure-alcohol contest, also known as BerXpert is allways confunded like a relative from BerXpert the First. He raise the public work up to 30% to build some nets at Aaargh! to increase the population and reach the Double Crab.
475BC First coracle build, routed to the north. Aaargh! start one coracle too. Settlers finished and narrowed to the south.
450BC Warrior at west move to the place of the new planed capital of Australians...
400BC Settlers cross Snorf, thanks to those roads of Skeeve II
350BC Second coracle build, take the route of the south
325BC - 300BC Both coracles found the limits of the world, they can't navigate far away afraid of big monsters of the end of the sea. (traduction THE SHIPS ARE UNUSEFULLS )
275BC XperLand founded but there was not time to build the new capital, Ber the Xpert abord the Aaargh Siren Coracle II looking of new adventures, leaving the throne empty... rumors said that and Immortal Wombat will take this time the Bored Goverment of Australians
Here is the autobiography of Immortal Wombat II of Australia.
250BC
In the grand tradition of Australian rulers, Wombat spent the first 75 years of his reign being bored. He wandered from city to city, sampling the local beer, and eating cake.
225BC
Australian wise men discover the secret of Electricity. Then Wombat stops playing Civ2 in Young NSW and eats some more Cake.
175BC
The completion of the Appian Way in Snorf brings Wombat into life, and he makes his first executive decision - Snorf begins a settler. On the south coast, a warrior is loaded onto a coracle, and the coracle voyages southwards, in search of new land.
150BC
Australian wise men, have a break from playing CIv2, and discover Drama. They then start to philosophise about philosophical type things, in the hopes that one day they could discover philosophy.
125BC
As Wombat goes to unload his warrior onto a small island South of Xpertland (?), he receives a message from the Gods, containing a mysterious decision "Naval Tactics, or Name:". Intrigued, but confused, Wombat takes the cop out third choice - /reloadslic. The message becomes clear, and the troops are unloaded.
100BC
Iratland finishes bazaar, and starts a theatre.
50BC
Young NSW builds a shrine, and rush-buys a warrior under the orders of Wombat.
25BC
The reasoning behind Wombat's orders becomes apparent, as a coracle completes its long voyage around the island, and arrives in Young NSW harbour, and loads the new warrior unit on board. The city begins building a bazaar.
The southern coracle rounds the end of Long Island, and heads for the horizon.
At this point, Wombat II becomes the first Australian leader to die not of boredom(!) as he dies of a heart attack when he loses a Civ2 game at 500BC by an AI with one city, which built the spaceship
