New player question

[imperius]

Hi
I know the game and the small and large pox but dose anyone play like the old civ2? in the sence that you build your empire then go to war when you can build large armys?

Isn't that that the purpose of the game?


Or do you mean in the sense that's how we used to play and experience Civ? Before we even realized how you could play the system? If you you refrain from using the small/largepox (also known as ICS) playing method and use onconventional rules/settings you could, perhaps.
