  • What's the BEST of all CIVS?

    I mean, Civ1 x Civ2 x SMAC x CTP x anything you want (like MGE)! Consider their age (Civ1 was released almost a decade ago, and Civ2 has 4/5 years).

    My vote: Civ2. OK, I don't have CTP (hadn't arrived in Brazil yet), but I know all the others and none is as addictive as Civ2.

    Hmm... I agree with you. Civ2 is still the most addictive of all, although SMAC comes really closer!
    And I have not tried CTP yet, and the reason for that is the same as is yours... But I doubt it will be as addictive as Civ2 and SMAC.

      i've tried civ2, smac, and ctp.

      the best is definately civ 2!

      second is ctp (it is really really addictive despite some so-called "flaws").

      third is smac (this is by no means a bad game, just it is not as good as ctp and civ 2)

        SMAC is the best, Civ2 is right there.

              SMAC is best, Civ II is awesome too, CTP-from what I've heard sucks.

                #1: Civ 1 on the Mac--this was my intro to Civ. From what I hear, the graphics on the Mac were way better than IBM. And I think the AI was much smarter in Civ 1 than Civ 2. I remember many more times where the AI actually made a good coordinated attack on me, unlike Civ 2 where it hardly ever happens.

                #2: Civ 2--A classic. Hundreds, or even thousands of hours of my life wasted away. But such fun!

                #3: SMAC--A very good successor to Civ 2, but not perfect.

                #4: CTP--I'm not too impressed so far. An unfinished product, IMHO. Diplomacy especially sucks big time.

                #5: Colonization--never got into it too much. Has absolutely horrible graphics.
                Is it just me, or are these signatures really annoying? I mean, why do I want to keep seeing the same thing every time someone posts? And don't you hate those really long signatures that take up a whole bunch of space?

                For no reason?

                Come on, I say we ban signatures!!

                    Civ2 is the best, I just wish that Civ3 is going to be like Civ2, but then with improved graphics etc.

                      I was hoping to read the posts and decide whether to buy CTP or SMAC.

                      My decision...

                      Keep playing Civ 2 for my turn based addiction.

                      For real time what is the best...Warcraft, Starcraft or Age of Empires?

                        Hey Saga,
                        it's good to know that at last someone agrees with me that the AI in Civ1 was smarter than in Civ2. In Civ1 I had to sweat a lot to win, in Civ2 everything was so much easier. Yeah, one could argue that the millions of hours spent in Civ1 helped to defeat Civ2 more easily. But still... the sense of panic that I felt when a bunch of French riflemen disembarked so close to my capital is something that I have never experienced in Civ2

                          I have a question for all you Civ-2 promoters, if SMACX came out (the expansion thihg) with an "Earth Mod" allowing you to essentially play Civ through the SMAC gameplay/interface but with Earthlike graphics, scenarios, etc. Then would you say SMAC is better?

                            Pythagaros, nah, civ2 would still kick it.

                              Civ2 would beat SMACX. Civ2 superiority is very solid, based not only on Earth environment.
