Yep, modding Civ1 is fun, I made a similar mod at the end of this thread. We similarly thought that Chariot attack is too high for the era.

Who would be so monstrous as to poison the water supply of a metropolis? Sadly, there would be no certain answer forthcoming... Gold and Fish from China helped relieve the urban sprawl of the Three Egyptian Metropoli. The universal suffrage was not without its drawbacks, as can be seen in...

This is a brief story of a light Civ4 Monarch game as Hatshepsut of Egypt. I used the latest version of Better BTS AI, which is more "vanilla-like" than K-mod. Standard map, 1 more AI than the suggested amount. The Nile Peninsula was a reasonably fertile land, with large natural reserves of...

There may be media files on CD in "Video" and "Kings" files, you can copy them to your Civ2 folder on the hard disk.

With racial make-up, associations with demeaning "blackface" caricatures and pushing non-white actors out of their profession make it a no-go. Not sure this applies to sexuality - it has the additional spanner that it forces actors to out themselves if they want to play non-straight roles.

Yep, despite the US right-wing seeming to be quite strong (they're certainly loud, they have weapons), this was quite an inept attempt. There weren't even any burning tires. Maybe this is this the reason why there are "the break-in was organized by ANTIFA false flag provocateurs pretending to...

I'd expect a Kolchak/Denikin/Wrangel figure to prevail over liberals and Ungern-Sternberg-like loons. The regime could be nominally republican or a Franco/Horthy-style "kingdom without a king" (the latter could pose some problems in relation to popular czarist ideology). The victors would have...

Sounds like a typical issue with federalism and multi-ethnic states.

A collection of relatively "open-minded" opinions of a bunch of Armenian and Azerbaijanis. You can definitely see incompatibilities despite some overtures to the other side.

The GAPE message is present and works as it should in Civ2.

I don't think that FFH needs 1upt... but I do wish it had a more developed magic system.

Very occasionally, yes. I'm playing my own version with Turinturambar's AI and some other tweaks.

I find it amusing that Valley softened the translation of these diatribes in one panel, the original Hebrew has, if I'm not mistaken, "It is permissible to kill a gentile who will one day become evil". In any case, I find Kelly from the Onion to be a superior political cartoonist in every way.

Why does Klopnik wear that black hat, then? Plus some Haredim can be quite nationalistic - Chabad founder (I mean, Schneerson, yep) hailed Israel's victory in the 1967 war and opposed Israel making any territorial concessions for peace, didn't he?

It's strange that "Adam Klopnik" from the cartoon is a Haredi, "civilized" anti-Zionists have avoided blasting them too much for various reasons. Not that a Haredi holding reactionary views is particularly surprising.
