The end is near for the game, but ...

Should be go for just finish the game as quickly as possible, or to get the best score possible!

Banana Poll!

What I currently plan to do is to play the next session until the turn before we will win by conquering the last Carth city. I willl then stop, and if the people want, try to arrange a turnchat, much as in the Civ3 Demo game. Then I would make the savegame available to all who want it, and the last few orders could be made by all - and you all actually see the victory that, thanks to everyone, we are about to attain.

Then, if people want to, they can play with the supplied save to maximize the score of the game from the turn before the victory. Officially, however, the game will be over, and a new one can begin afresh!

I have 1 question............ can we just use "cassies" Civ2, the MGE download really srewed me (well, the patch did) oh, and I WANT A NEW GAME SO I CAN BE COME PRES.!

Zedd · July 10, 2002, 10:54

I voted Bannana's!!!!!!!
Actually I like MWIA's suggestion of leaving that last move for others to DL and play,. However if we decide to finish it then lets get it over with and start a new Democracy Game.

Messer Niccolò · July 10, 2002, 11:26

MWIA great idea!
That is really a good idea!

I agree with 123john321 better 2.42 than MGE

JCP · July 10, 2002, 13:22

OK with MWIA proposal ... which was an origninal idea of CaveBear's !

Caesar the Great · July 10, 2002, 13:41

don't waste our time! finish them off!

...the people grow weary

Hydey · July 10, 2002, 18:21

do it and do it fast

cinch · July 10, 2002, 18:34

I have yet another question... The MGE download didn't work for me, which is fine. But what is this 2.42 business?

H Tower · July 10, 2002, 19:12

2.42 is the last patched version of the original civ2. if we play again i suggest we stay with MGE

MrWhereItsAt · July 10, 2002, 19:13

v2.42 is the original game. There were two add-ons Conflicts in Civilization - v2.62 (IIRC) and Fantastic Worlds v2.78, both scenario packs. 2.62 is available freely as a patch (official patch), but 2.78 is not.

I wasn't here right at the start, but the MGE v1.3 was chosen for some reason (improved AI

) , and I objected until someone told me where to find the MGE patch of CivFanatics.com.

Sounds like before starting the new one we need a poll to see which version we should use...

EDIT: Or I could be wrong

I'll just check...

Darkness' Edge · July 10, 2002, 19:49

personally, I'd rather just end the game quickly, rather than having a turnchat to carry out the obvious..

Ren · July 11, 2002, 03:33

oooh banana...

i like the download option, and yeah go ahead and finish it quick

James Adams · July 11, 2002, 04:28

Ok, KEEP your opinions coming!

cinch · July 11, 2002, 05:38

Sorry to be bothersome, but I have one more query: It concerns the fascism patch. Is it compatable with 2.42 (which I downloaded and I THINK worked, although I don't know how to check really as it just fixes bugs) and where can I find it? In Apolyton's Database, I can only find the French versions and modpacks that include fascism.

Anyone?

atawa · July 11, 2002, 16:39

About patches, we should stick with MGE, you can always upgrade to MGE but does anyone know how to downgrade MGE to 2.42?

Hydey · July 11, 2002, 19:12

I have both games but only MGE is on the computer and I'm not loading 2.42 on aswell.

too lazy for that

H Tower · July 11, 2002, 19:14

FOR CINCH: the official home of the facist patch website

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...r/civfasc.html

ON VERSIONS: I wouldn't be able to play in a game that wasn't MGE, i gave away my original copy a looooong time ago. Since it is possible to upgrade to MGE but not possible to downgrade to 2.42, i will fight against playing the game on anything but MGE

mrboo123 · July 12, 2002, 08:46

ok, "Classie" ain't going to work (DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but can we don't use MGE v1.3????????

Zedd · July 12, 2002, 09:16

why not john? the 1.3 patch is easy to come by, you can DL it or someone coud email it to you.

I have not pgraded a 2.42 Version but i know of only one person wh had a prob and that sould be solveable.

Cinch... If you have the same prob my friend had then here is how we fixed it. He didn't install his civ2 to the default directory and some of the files were in diff folders. we used windows add/remove prog. to take out civ (which will leave the folder and your saved games

)
and reinstalled it to the default folder. then imediately ran the patch. then the 1.3 update. and a No CD patch. After that it worked and we just moved his save files from the old folder to the new civ2 default folder.

Give it a try...Like i said windows won't remove the folder or your save games so worst case you loose 30min of time trying it out.
