Do you still play Civilization I from time to time? Just for the sake of nostaliga? This game is still huge for me. Hundreds of hours of fun with it. And the graphics was not so colorful as other Civilization games. Any memories you have with it?
Civilization I - do you still...

I tried playing it recently. I couldn't do it for more than maybe 10 minutes, unfortunately.
"What the...? How did that barb just walk into my city? What happened to the city defen... oh, yeah..."
"Where did that other enemy unit go? I swear there were 2 units last turn, and now there's only... oh, yeah..."
"Oh good, my settler finally finished. But why is my capital back to size 3? I thought it had already reached size 4 several turns ag... oh, yeah..."
Most of my nostalgia is for Civ II anyway.

I do not remember this happening. Maybe some bugs? When you build settlers, the population is naturally decreased by 1.

Civ I is the only one I have, so I play it lots. It's soothing.

There ya go. Hell yes. The last two days of my workweek are difficult, but the prize after them are 3 days off. What keeps my eyes on that prize is knowing that i'll get 7 hours of civving as soon as i'm off, grooving a great radio station, and a six of really hoppy beer. After that it's a total crash for 11 hours, but leaves 2 full days, utterly and completely decompressed. Ahhhh.

If you have a copy lying around or can get hold of one, DOSBox has worked perfectly for me on Mac OS X. A quick search shows that it should work fine on Windows 10, but I can't test that myself:

There are a few tutortials I've found in a quick Google:

(there's a section on DOSBox in that article)
Hope that helps!

If you don't mind paying $17 you can get it all neatly DOSBox'd for you at http://www.allvideoclassicgames.com/. It works with XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, or Mac OS. I've bought several old games there, including Civ 1. They have Civ II and MANY other games.

I play it sometimes. It's by far the one I'm worst at, however.
Use your imagination in such cases. It helps to enjoy the game even more.

I was always trying to imagine how could a militia defeat a battleship in Civ I ...
I was imagining that the militia probably had small dinghy boats full with explosives, went to the side of the battleship at night somehow unseen and detonated them 
- Yeah, i know, extremely unlikely, but i can't think of any other way. Unless the militias have spears with explosive pointed heads, and somehow someone from a cliff managed to throw one into the barrel of one of the battleship's guns

Just imagine it is not a milita anymore, but some super advanced unit or some hidden weapon or hidden technology that you encounter, or a natural disaster
