@options

FMK, if you move @options to immediately before @end, does the choice of tribes appear in this dialog? Or does it just crash? Not that you'd want to, what with scrollbars and all, but I was curious about how version-specific this trick was.

Yeah, the pop-ups drove me back to Opera. S'pose it's time to update my browser's again. Think it's time to try Mozilla.

It works in FW and crashes in MGE.

Nooooo... Try the Opera 7 beta if you want something new. If you aren't big on betae, try http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/.

I've just had an epiphany (I think thats the right word)

I've always used 1024 x 768 res - the graphics in civ2, particularly the units always look a bit crap. On Palaiologos's suggestion I tried 800 x 600 with Civ2 viewed at standard zoom. Suddenly everything looks good. I know this sounds crazy but trust me on this one - give it a try.

One added benefit is for some reason text pop-ups that are too big normally now fit well. Must be the font or something.

Only problem is I can't use my computer for anything else but civ at this resolution. oh well.

SHIFT+Z normalizes the zoom at 1024x768 and, should you want to, you can switch to the 800x600 city screen by clickin on the down arrow in its titlebar.
