i suspect all he did was look at each city and clicked on each supported unit as it gives the name of the closest city reguardless if it is known or not.

Anyone want to relate the Xin Yu story about Boston?

If I ever get my old'n'slow computer up and running for internet access I will run again.

As is, it's best if I stay a citizen.

Good luck to all the campaigners!

Hehehe, that's a very slick trick.

If I recall the "Boston" thing correctly, Xin Yu's opponent was playing the Americans so Xin Yu knew he had a Boston city. So Xin Yu named one (or more?) of his own cities "Boston" and everytime the opponent checked the "nearest city" of his exploring units, he kept getting "nearest to Boston", so he decided there was nothing in that direction for quite a distance.

In civ1, I once was Bob, leader of the Bob tribe. So I named all my cities 'Bob'. Confused the hell out of myself.

Xin Yu still did it best. We were in a MP game, on different sides of an alliance, and we were looking for each others cities.

He had found my farthest outpost, but I hadn't found his yet. He renamed all his cities close to me "Boston", the same name as the city I had closest to him... Every time I went to check to see if my exploring units were still closer to my city... sure enough, it always said they were closest to Boston

Xin is the master

also of some significance

1. FREE INFORMATION

Much of the fun of the game is in the discovery. But little did you know that you
provide us with tons of ways to cheat and get information we shouldn't have:

1.1) If you are looking for other civilizations, you can use the city menu and click on a unit. It tells you the nearest city, even if you haven't found the city yet. It helps you find or hunt down other civilizations.

1.2) Clicking on the map where you haven't explored and looking at the number after
the coordinates tells you if the place is ocean or land…very important when moving
ships that can be lost at sea.

1.3) Double-click a square that you have already explored. If you don't see the terrain information, then you know somebody has built a city there.

1.4) Any city that has built a wonder may be located using the "Find City" command. You get an exact location, even if you haven't discovered the city yet.

pretty good for 3-4 years ago

As sad as it is that we only have one candidate per position (and some blanks) we need to go ahead with the formal election polls, 123John321. Go ahead and post the election polls.

If this site's owners aproved of this kind of patched upgrade I'd say civfanatics.

Now I'll just say buy it in the shops

As an "old" game, I think it only costs $10 retail.

I was just about to post on the "patch" at CFC....

Now you got me all worried.

The patch worked for me - not as if I didn't buy Civ2, Scenarios and Fantastic Worlds. I paid enough, without having to spend money on what is really just another patch as well.

A year ago there was a post about the "patch".
Then there were'nt any problems

Come on guys, you know I'm going to read this and have to say something. I've got something called "responsibilities" now.

Hydey · May 22, 2003, 18:30

I thought that is what PM's were for.

talking about stuff not allowed in the forums.
