Actually that sounds like a rather good idea.
Although then there'd be an awful lot of NZ civs.

It might be interesting to see whether or not the style of civ-play mirrors the team in question...

Does anyone know what type of team the Renegades are? I remember seeing an article mentioning that one of the Super 12 sides had beat them, but I couldn't find any information on them.

To paraphrase Rick in Casablanca - not amounting to a hill o' beans.

Renegades? They're not a Super 12 team. I'll look into it.

Edit. The Bulls - one of the Springbok S12 teams - played a couple of practice matches against a team called the Renegades. The Renegades were a composite team made up of players who hadn't made any of the 4 Springbok S12 squads. I notice there's also a Canadian rugby team called the Renegades, but it wasn't them.

Just wait until you have them to the North, East, West and South of you. Then your little not-hill might start to look like a mountain.


Actually, how about renaming the wonders too?

Hanging Gardens ---> Tamerlin's Stash

I'd imagine they'd just have the usual effect that beans have on a person.

Hey, wait a minute ...

[finbar]

Excuse you.

The spirit was indeed there.

And I’m always game to give language a go – though I am very like Caligastia’s generic tourist most of the time.

Nothing J**** says enters the equation because nothing he says ever enters my ether.

Have you not even noticed how diplomatic he is about the opposition. No bad for a guy supposed to be ‘thick’ really.

What a fine idea. Presumably Havak would suffer frequent attacks of the "red mist" and earn yellow cards aplenty.

I probably would indeed. But are you ready for this heresy – I never got Civ 2 MP.

Good news for France – Dawson is out. That is excellent for them on two fronts – for Gomersall is from Glaws and also he is nowhere near the same calibre of player. With Healey and Bracken injured we are really scraping the barrel here.

In all fairness he is probably having his best season ever – but he has never convinced me as an international scrummy. And he has no loyalty – hops clubs far too often for a Tigers man to admire.

He could recite the lyrics of "Smoke On The Water" and I wouldn't notice.

Pourquoi pas!?!

Poor old Jonno - he would be devastated to know he falls under your radar.

Two reasons - I've never been hugely into MP games and also, becuase I sit on a very fast link at work I have only ever bothered with 56K dial up at home.

And you have to experience UK ISPs to understand how poor they are.

I must read back through Tamerlin's posts and research his solution.

There are patches/mods aplenty out there to fix graphics should you so wish. Just don't grab any of Koby's. It could be a little disconcerting if finbars caravans happen to look like Borg cubes.
(Albeit giving you the perfect excuse ).[QUOTE]

Thanks for the tips...

Any idea which patch you used to upgrade (from FW?)?
I tried one some time ago and ended up having to reinstall due to a number of corrupted files.

You will find the patch here:

Download the 2.42 to MGE.exe to upgrade a Classic Civ2 updated with the 2.42 patch. It might be possible to update from FW with the MGE Zips file.

The originals remain the best, IMHO.

They were indeed very good... in 1996.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I knew you could not resist the temptation, my sentence was written for.

I'll go online tomorrow - my Saturday - and keep an eye out for you on ICQ.

I can't play this week-end but we can test ICQ.

Mais oui! Arguably America's first heavy metal band. Did their best work with Todd Rundgren working as their producer, IMHO.

My second revelation after AC/DC, I have looked for their records for almost 15 years and they are now re-edited by Capitol records. I prefer the first albums when they were a trio, more powerful and raw...

Grand Funk rules...

Excellent idea though the hour difference between our respective countries will be a nightmare. I must admit my own weird time schedule could ease the whole process.

Beware of the French flair!

I fear I am not good enough to compete for victory but I will do my best.
