haha holy ****, I can definitely see that happening. I used to play a LOT of Civ 2: ToT and my end-game sounds a lot like his end game

However I would always set game speed to as fast as it would go and also lose interest when the world started turning into an apocalyptic grindfest as his has.
Also he's communist? wtf I thought everyone went fundamental post modern age.

There should be a rather awesome pic here

I can't play civ games for more than 30 mins at a time. That turn based crap sucks

i LOVED civ 2. i even reinstalled it last year for a bit. civ 2 & 3 were the best civ games, imo. civ 4 was aight, and civ 5 is meh. the original civ was cool because it had Stalin, but i was pretty young when i played it, so was never too good at it :(


anyone remember the DOS version? played that one, too :D

Civ 2 was one of my favourite games. My first PC game addiction was Civ 1. I play Civ 3 occasionally and love the late game period where all races have the same technology and seeing once great races being wiped outTwisted. What I hated was the global warming effect that gradually turned tiles to deserts but I figured out how to edit the XML files to eliminate this annoyance.Smile

Yeeee!

Ahh yes, the wars of the future...remnants of humanity fighting over the scraps of a world demolished by the very conflicts that even then further exhaust the resources of the planet. If Civ 2 is any indication of the future, there will come a time where no precious metals can be found outside of irradiated fallout zones, having been used in some sort of weapon or another.

After the last nukes have flown and the materials for replacing the lost machines are trapped behind a wall of death, our descendants will go on killing one another with spears and swords and new weapons crafted to take advantage of whatever wild mutations spring up from the generations of radiation exposure.

Actually, that sounds rather entertaining.
