The launch or the finish date should by custom not be revealed until the deadline. ;) Fundy is not for science, even SETI would be futile. I use it to raise gold (3 or 4 per city with Michelangelo, 6 with Bach on top, and then there are still taxes to collect). This requires a fairly large...

So, I just got my spaceship launched. Not really early, I kept on celebrating and doing 2 techs each turn with 40% Lux and 50 % science, as well as expanding and some conquest. Spaceshup parts were built by cities who had nothing else to do. But one thing was remarkable about this game: The...

I agree, there are so many ways to defeat the AI, and I am pretty sure that ALL of them are easier to accomplish than trying to provoke global warming that the human mind can handle better than the AI. You have the human mind, so you should be able to direct the game to your advantage, simply by...

Log until 1 AD: -1000 Hail Greeks, they offer Masonry, we gamble and pick wheel over masonry and HBR, Pottery from hut -975 HBR from hut, not good, will delay trade even further, 50g -950 Akkad founded -925 Uruk founded -900 Barb legion on continent 3, bribed for 82(none), run into Romans, sign...

Hi, I like to play different styles every now and then, inlcuding OCC, huge games, conquests and EL. Usually it ends up in mostly peaceful expansion, a little bit of conquests and launching the biggest spaceship as early as possible. Yes, Marco's is usually one of the top priorities, to get...

Hi, have you checked the tech-subforum: https://forums.civfanatics.com/forums/civ2-technical-support.20/ ? I have avoided that problem by simply keeping the old XP-machine. ;)

Hi Giftless, welcome! Have you ever been playing one of the GOTMs before? I do not think I can remember. Keeping a log is not mandatory, but I think it is a great way to keep track on what is happening to compare our games. And also to focus on the game (I think top chess players always write...

It takes 2 engineer's actions to clear pollution of one tile (regardless of the terrain), so either 2 engineers or 1 engineer that has already been pre-charged. Mabye this might help. How many tiles with pollution are there?

Pfff, 2 weeks later I got into the AD years, finally clicked into this thread, just to read about your misfortune! Sorry about that! I had been in the same position in previous GOTMs, Ali had said there would still be fun and challenge in turning such a game around, didn't convince me though...

Since the deadline was long ago, I chose to play a fast game, so it was OCC. The location of the city was far from perfect with all those mountains, city progress was rather slow, but the AI were suffering from poor terrain also, so the competition for the space race was slim. -4000 Pop hut...

But that stills sounds like an iteresting story to tell! I just finished my game, and it was rather unspectacular. I would start the spoiler thread tomorrow, still need to copy all the files from the old computer and have not yet included stats into my log.

I agree that we do not need to have a new game every month, so having four games / year is enough. There is a RL to live and also other games to play! ;) BTW, the scoring of our GOTMs is a little behind schedule, did anybody get news from Magic or Inkerman? Both of them have not been around for...

Has anyone playted this game? There was no spoiler-thread started so far, so I started today (rather yesterday by now), doing a quick OCC. Although the deadline was long gone...

Global warming occurs when too many tiles of the whole world map are polluted, regardless who or what caused the pollution. Not sure what the threshold is, we had a GOTM a few years ago with a lot of polluted tiles on a far-off island (which was quite interesting btw, global warming also makes...

I did not have that many of them, but still, moving and assigning the engineers was indeed the fun part, the annoying part was to move the vans around and organize the ship-chain...:crazyeye::crazyeye::crazyeye:
