How Big's YOUR Civ2 folder?

HisMajestyBOB · November 16, 2002, 20:11

Well, how much space does it take up?
Over 500 mb here, and over 300mb of that is scenarios.

Grigor · November 16, 2002, 20:21

A mere 144 MB. But I erase mid-game saves ever three months or so. I try to keep evey 4000BC start I ever downloaded or created.

Cedric Greene · November 16, 2002, 22:23

Which one are we talking about? Civ2FW, MP, MGE, or ToT?

Juggler · November 17, 2002, 14:12

200 Mb but I've erased many scenarios just recently.

Rasbelin · November 18, 2002, 02:10

85,9 Mb, but that's just standard Civ II UCC without any extra scenarios, mods or other junk.

Henrik · November 18, 2002, 03:25

1,37 GB

/me flips when he sees Henrik's message.

Straybow · November 18, 2002, 10:56

Between Civ2, MGE, and TOT about 250M, but I went through my archives last year and deleted most of my old game saves and zipped the few I kept.

Ras, is that Hoplite trying to flap his arms and fly?

1,20 GB of that is the scenario folder

Lars-E · November 18, 2002, 11:48

241 mb. I have CiC, FW (without any scenarios), 2.42, and MGE.

It's a Roman legion who dances hip-hop.

Yikes. My FW, gif library and ToT put together are still under that.

So I guess we know to whom to turn the next time somebody has a hard disk crash.

Henrik · November 19, 2002, 07:38

Hehe, I have a lot of double copies of files in different formats though as PC versions need to be converted before I can run them.
Gifs->Picts
Wavs->Aiffs

Often I keep the PC files though as picts cannot be edited in image editors without messing up the pallete (it works fine with gifs however).

Mercator · November 19, 2002, 07:59

121 MB for my Civ2-FW folder, 328 MB for ToT...

But that doesn't really do justice to the amount of Civ2 on my computer, since I also have a full Civ2 website (and another in preparation) with lots of downloads on my harddisk, a separate folder with map resources, several Civ2 utilities in development, and a separate folder with all sorts of miscellaneous Civ2 stuff, like hex editing docs and lots and lots of maps.

All in, that's about 769 MB (

Still not even close to your figure, Henrik).

Henrik · November 19, 2002, 08:07

Rasbelin · November 19, 2002, 08:12

Have you downloaded all maps, scenarios and mod packs floating around there?

The Swedish doesn't bother me.

Henrik · November 19, 2002, 10:35

Not even close to everything

I do think there should be people who has more stuff than I do though...
168 scenarios are there, one which is a modpack (mady be me a looong time ago), I do think most of the space is taken by graphics though (I have a lot that's not used in scenarios but I keep it in case I need to use it in a scenario of my own)...

I do think I should to clean out some stuff soon though.

H Tower · November 19, 2002, 12:51

~400 mb although most of my scenarios are still in their zip files, and I delete all sound files because I never have the sound turned on.

atawa · November 19, 2002, 12:57

About 250 meg, I try and clean up all saves once in a while.

The ANZAC · November 19, 2002, 18:41

571 mb, I had more in the past

yaroslav · November 19, 2002, 20:50

670 MB but I must delete some saves...

curtsibling · November 20, 2002, 06:02

My ToT folder is 1.78GB.
My MGE folder is 400MB.
My MPS\CIV2 folder is 1.11GB.

I also have 600MB of zips...holy cow!

I better do a back up!

Straybow · November 20, 2002, 11:18

Oh, rap. I didn't see the microphone, must be concealed behind the shield.

PS: Everyone had to fight right-handed in the Legion, and the Legionaires didn't use spears, only the Pilum (a javelin with a long, thin, lead-shafted head).

Caesar the Great · November 25, 2002, 00:15

wow... those are some big civ2 folders

i have 3 copies of the game on my comp

in total probably upwards of 400 megs with all the autosaves from the normal games, MP games, scenarios etc

DrSpike · November 25, 2002, 13:18

Mine is 140MB....I am astounded at some of the figures here. I don't have many scenarios/saves any more, but these are really small for civ2 anyway.

Maybe it is because I used the 2.42-MGE upgrade?

Cedric Greene · November 28, 2002, 00:55

Hmmm my MPS folder is only 479mb...

Goes to show I don't play many scenarios.

The Pioneer · November 28, 2002, 06:33

Cedric you still have the DOS version of Civ

! Does that play on Win XP?

So long...

Cedric Greene · November 28, 2002, 13:00

It does play but not very well. Slow and no sound. Need to try some of the DOS emulators and see if I can get it running at a decent speed.

Eli · November 29, 2002, 13:06

You people are insane!

1.3 gigs of Civ?

DarkCloud · December 9, 2002, 23:40

700-900 mb when extracted- I keep my civ files in seperate folders... although If I hadn't accidentally deleted all my scenarios when I changed computers' I'd probably have about 1.1 gb
