Civilization 1 isn't that difficult... is it?

[SlowwHand]

That makes a group of one.

[ZEE]

all the times he told me to "take my meds..."

said that my "emotions made me weak..."

and when he made the greatest DL of all time of "DriXnak..."


*sigh* that was a blast

[SlowwHand]

Yeah. That was a wll-kept secret. Couldn't tell, could you? He's a real tricky fellow. uh huh.

[ZEE]

he could be anywhere.. anybody...

lurking...

[SlowwHand]

Now you're scaring me.

[ZEE]

Well OTF Civ threads are EoN bait. He cant resist them. like sharks to blood.

He is such a master of DL's that any n00b i see i have to be wary of... could be him in disguise. Ive accused n00bs of BEING him as a matter of fact...

Oh, I didn't know there was voice over as I didn't watch it with sound.

It isn't hard to add another layer of sound afterwards with the voice on, but I'm pretty sure you can capture the voice at the same time as capturing the game's video+audio, perhaps with Fraps but others program for sure.

Gah! That was painful. It was like the first time my neice played Doom and didn't quite understand how to aim. Somehow she managed to survive the first level, accidently shooting the legs off the imps every so often.

Yes, it was that bad.

how is the capturing done? e.g. video from game + audio for user?

we should have tons of videos like that. i feel ashamed.

Press gang someone into writing a 'how to' guide for creating a video like that, and get some people making them.

[MikeH]

Those videos really make me miss the palace. That was awesome.

[Cort Haus]

Blimey that Deceased Crab bloke is annoying. I managed to sit through his first two vids, and I wish he hadn't wittered away through the intro music. Too bad his warrior managed to beat the fortified Greek Phalanx.

Or, if you want to show those whippersnappers how the game is played, you could do that. (of course, you'll want to *show* it, not *tell* them what they are doing wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be terribly entertaining)

DON'T. Or, if you do, don't tell them where you're coming from. Have you ever heard of the phrase "goon rush?"

I only have Civ2. I have Civ1 (DLed it from an "abandonware" site), but every time I tried to play it the stupid copy protection test came up asking me to name letters from the manual. Man, that was annoying. And it occurred to me that I could easily modify Civ2 to be almost exactly like Civ1 if it really seemed that important, so...eh.

[Jon Miller]

I thought Civ1 just asked you about civlization advances. Which you got to know after a bit anyways..

[Donegeal]

Jon... I did the same thing in my first game of Civ. It would ask me "Do you want a reveloution?". No dammit! Why would I want my people to rebel?

The copy of Civ 1 that I learned on didn't come with a manual . After a game or two, my roommate and I spent an hour or so going through the civilopedia and copying out the tech icons and advances. Worked like a charm.
