Any special units? "Horsie Hunter"?

It's almost like switching from heroin to cocain, you naughty, naughty noble man .
Ah, but I did stop playing for noble causes - repainting, remodeling, repairs... but while at a used book/media shop, I stumbled upon it. In a moment of weakness, I loaded it up and clicked the icon. The rest can be guessed...

Also, la marquise has a new job, les petites demand more time... c'est la vie, as they say.

OT (but not quite)
Family manager? Is that the name of your new game?

I don't play it any more, unfortunately - neither do I play Alpha Centauri. I just can't get myself interested in them at the moment, being in a SimCity period as I am.

We homeschool our kids, and my 10yo daughter was studying ancient history. Out came the CIV2, and soon she was SEEING the effects of technology advancement, diplomatic negotiation, trade, terrain improvement (wish we could build the Great Canal!), and military confrontation. She likes building her own maps, too. Now my 8yo son is getting tired of Roller Coaster Tycoon (another great game- he learned math, physics, economics, psychology...) and watching over his sister's shoulder...

Civ on - or should I say CIV2 RULES!

I choose the banana option.
I afraid I was a civ2 junkie. At my studies time I play civ for about 10 and more hours a day, but now I have only about 3 hours a week to keep my family content.

If Civ2 had a mod file that would show the borders, Id much rather play Civ2 than Civ3, the AI is better, and gameplay is much easier.

I know I know, I'm just saying it would make an appealing mod to add one. Even though most users don't want it there, I'd like it there for reference purposes.

Die heretic

The ZoC act quite adequately in Civ2

The SGs (Sloshed Gits) now in their third (bottle)

MP is still too slow. Way too slow.

Against the AI, why? I think it's safe to say that everyone here knows every cheat/trick/loop hole in the game.

CIV III... what a shame.

But, than again, it's all we got.

Happy to see you back MWHC!
...Though your post looks quite pessimistic to me:


1) If you have a look at the strategy forum, you will notice that there is still a lot of fundamental research on its way (phantom roads, commodities offered and demanded, ... thanks to samson, solo and some other reliable testers).
2) Democracy games and succession games seem to be much fun for many people.
3) Someone reminded me recently that all scenario records (Rome, WW2 with smaller civs, CiC and FW scenarios,...) are there to be beaten and I don't intend to let that gauntlet lying on the floor (planning to post a new 'crusades' record tomorrow ).

...just one more turn

I keep coming back to Civ II, even if it isn't my staple diet anymore. Too many other games are vieing for my attention.

Civ III never quite caught my imagination in the way that civ II did.

And I still have 1.8 GB of downloaded civ II scenarios on my HD that I must play before I die.

Civ II MP is still more stable then Civ III... many of us will continue playing it until all the bugs are worked out ov Civ III... and then, we still may continue playing Civ II.

Each unit is 1 kb... roughly... 600 bytes to 800 bytes... and I have 500 units in one folder (and about 100 in its subfolders) then I have 7mb of units in my modpacks folder; then in the MPS/civ folder I have another 300 units...

500+100+300=900 units= 900 KB+7mb
7.9 mb

THEN I take the units in my 120 scenarios- each unit file is 1 kb big
9.2 mb

+ some scattered units 200

9.4 mb

---

...My estimate was wrong
Apologies. I will edit my thread- but I DO have 700 mb!

Cluster size = 8k usually, so all those files take up 8 times the space… 75 mb down, 225 to go!
