    Which Windows versions are good and bad for gaming

    I have three Windows options; W7, W8.1 and W10. I can use either one of these, and 8.1 is my least favorite. The most important thing is that my programs and games works, but as long as they do work, my most liked Windows versions are in this order: W7 Ultimate (I love it) W10 Home (It's...

    Barracks maintenance doubled

    I think I recall that the maintenance cost for Barracks is 1 gold. So I was surprised when I looked into it and found this. It should not be 2 gold? The maintenance is the same on all levels right? Anyway this game is only on King level. And other city improvements have normal...

    Civ1 versions in member profiles

    Currently we are "able" to own the following Civ1 versions: Civ DOS, Civ Win, CivNet, and Civ SNES. There are several versions missing, most notably the Amiga version, and the upgraded Amiga AGA version. I own the Amiga AGA version, and it's almost like Civ "1.5". Edit, AGA is the Advanced...

    How good is TOT compared to 2.42?

    I have Civ II 2.42 and I'm happy with it. But I see that Test Of Time is popular in this forum so I consider buying it. I went to Amazon and had a look, and the user reviews of TOT says it's awful. The biggest complaints seems to be blurry graphics and it's hard to see which unit you are...

    Difficulty level changed in cheat mode

    Two times I have witnessed that my difficulty level changed. Both times it happened after my retirement date, and at least on this latest occasion the cheat mode was enabled. The first game where I noticed this I played on Prince level, and I noticed that the production cost for the AI...

    Priorities for the early years

    I have a question for you skilled players. How do you play the early years? In detail, what are your priorities in games where you start with one single settler? How soon do you build a settler? My current difficulty level is King. Assume that the starting location is a typical decent one...

    Got a little problem with searching

    I searched for "Space Ship" in the Civ2 forum and I got told the search term was under the minimum word length (3) and therefore would not be found. But my search term was five plus four characters long, plus a space. I did not use the asterisk (*). :cringe: I have a need to search for more...

    Did I win or lose?

    It is AD 2020 and nobody are wiped out, and no spaceships are launched. I just got a question if I wanted to continue. What do you call this? A draw? It seems that there is no possibility for a diplomatic victory like in Civ3. I have not bothered to build the Apollo Program, I'm not ready...

    Technology green and white

    When I press F6 in the game and see my discovered technology, most of them are in green but some are white. The color should tell me something, but what? Can anyone possibly know what it means? I suspected the white technology was stolen, but now I stole one and it is listed in green font. I...

    Security warning on bad certificate

    Every time I load a page here, I get a warning about a bad certificate. I also think the domain name booklandonline.info sounds a bit fishy. I keep rejecting it and it is annoying. Users with IE probably don't get any security warnings. Anyone else here with Opera who does not get this...

    Added new AI which does nothing

    In a game I thought it would be fun with some more AI civs. I spawned some settlers for a new AI that had not been in the game before. But the new AI does not move his units, he doesn't do anything at all. Can the new AI be activated?

    AI cities never pollute terrain

    Have anyone ever seen polluted terrain around AI cities? Nuclear incidents does not count here, I talk about regular pollution. I see that AI cities pollute very much, but they never cause polluted terrain. They never build Mass Transit. I'm not sure if I have seen them build Recycling...

    Sometimes I love the AI

    Babylon is in civil disorder because of unit unhappiness. Each turn they're adding one Entertainer, and the result is the same every time: 1 less unhappy citizen and 1 less happy citizen and the city is still in disorder. :lol: It is now 1 turn later and they have lost a couple warships...

    Look at the screenshot. The Aztec Lux rate is 40% and their Sci rate is 0%. Yet they get zero Lux and 47 Sci!

    Can not play music in Civ2

    In the game menu I select "Pick Music" and get this message: "This option is not available unless the Civilization II CD is in the CDROM drive." But the Civ2 CD is in the drive! :cringe: Why does it not work? When I look at the folders on the CD I can't even see music, only sound effects...

    Downloaded 2.42, the zip file is damaged

    I've got the old 1.02 version of Civ2. I downloaded the 2.42 patch from here. I saved the zip file. When I try to open it, Windows XP tells me that the compressed zip folder is invalid or damaged. The size of the zip folder is 730 kB which seems right. I've downloaded it a few times and the...

    Various novice questions

    I have some novice questions about Civ2, and some comments. 1) Enemy Bomber movement I'm confused over the range of Indian Bombers. How often do they have to refuel? Sometimes they show up in the middle of my country and I've never found any enemy carriers. India does not have cities or...

    Please lecture me on Civ 2 versions and patches

    Hi. I bought Civ2 before Christmas, with a price tag of just 2.80 Euros in a store it was too hard to resist. I started out on Prince level at my first game and I've just begun building the spaceship. I'll win this, so beating the AI is not what I need help with (not yet anyway). I need...

    Famous and infamous

    I need a little English language help here... My reputation as pirate often end up as famous or infamous. Which is better? Normally, "infamous" would be bad, but a pirate would perhaps prefer it over "famous". Is infamy regarded as "better" than fame in this game? Commodore 64 version.
