      I do have a "patched" copy, but I usually play and develop in real FW so that's what I voted for.

        FW (and ToT of course ). Don't really trust non-official patches too much.

          NEVER seen MGE anywhere in Oz or NZ. Was it less widely available or something? CiC was everywhere here, but finding FW was a bit of luck for me.

          Back to the ROOTS of addiction. My first missed poll!

            In Aus/NZ it was released as the "Ultimate civ2" edition or something akin to it.
            I've only ever seen one copy and didn't have time to get it when I saw it. Wasn't there an hour later...

            CiC/FW are/were fairly widely available I think. A secondhand software outlet closeby still gets them in on a semi-regular basis.

              I've got both installed separately; my MGE version is from Cedric Greene's patch and is a bit buggy on my computer for some reason, so I still rely on FW unless it isn't possible to convert the scenario.

                  So after 36 hours of voting it seems that 77.78% have MGE

                  That settles the question of what version of Civ I'll making stuff for

                      I have a "patched" version of FW. All I ever bought was 2.42. I've never even seen MGE or FW for sale, so I'll patch away. What drawbacks could I expect from switching to MGE, since everyone but me uses it?

                        Drawbacks of MGE:
                        Objective x3 cities don't work
                        AI is apparently more aggressive
                        Need to insert the Civ2 CD to play it

                          Isn't there a CD crack for MGE?

                            A newly reported drawback
                            @DEBUG statement doesn't work in events file.

                            And another one I've noticed.
                            You can change governments in MGE even with the No government switching on. Most of the time the flag works, as the REVOLUTION selection is grayed out. However, when discovering the government techs, you get the do you want to change govt. prompt. This does not happen in FW. To me that's a bug.
