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
Not supposed to discuss such things here, polly is stricter about these things than civfan. And in any event I don't know, I'm a mac user, and thus know little about the obtaining of PC programs.
I assumed that the patch at CivFan was legal because MGE is no longer available to buy and, like Kobra, I have kosher versions of vanilla civ and FW..... OK anyone know where I can buy a legal copy of MGE from?

Abandonware is equally illegal, and having an earlier version is no excuse unless they had made multiplayer available in a free patch.
You should be able to find it on eBay at least... And there are various links among the banners and buttons on Apolyton where you can get it (and when perusing those, you'll also support Apolyton).
I've been using text-editors since the days of 2.42 and the propensity of the FW editors for data loss did not entice me to switch over to them at all.
Oh, and I also am using the infamous patch. I am not buying MGE just for PBEM. Besides, Microprose sent me two free copies of ToT. Surely, they actually meant to send one ToT and one MGE.:P
BTW, it's the FW install program that causes the problems on XP. You can install the game on a different computer, record the directory onto a CDR, and then copy it onto the harddrive of your XP computer (and later removing the readonly bit in the Properties dialogue).
I manage to install the game alright, but when I am to install the Wing program/driver that follows with the CD it says stop...I only use MGE anyways, so it doesn't matter
That's weird - I installed vanilla civ2 and the FW expansion disk without any problems on my winXP computer
@mercator: the only copy of mge I found on eBay was being sold by a company that requires AmEx-only payment, and a cursory perusal of both the Poly ads and a google search revealed nothing.
