September NMCC, download, info and spoiler

Welcome Civ II fans
This month's NMCC may possibly be one of the most fun games of Civilization II you have ever played. It will be quite a challange as well. The game is set on King difficulty level, with seven tribes. You are young Temujin of the Mongols. You were born with no gold and little glory while the rest of the world flourishes. However you have the uniquely human mind that is capable of surmounting great odds.


Specs : DifficultyLevel=King : Barbs=Roving Bands : MapSize=Small

In this game, each of your computer opponents has been blessed with one of the world's ancient wonders. The Chinese have the great wall Great Wall. The Greek posses the Oracle. The Egptians have the Pyramids. The Vikings have the Lighthouse. The Japanese have the Hanging Gardens and the Russians command the Great Library. The Mongols have one other advantage as well, besides the spark of human life. Due to their highly disciplined ways, they have already discovered an effective system of Monarchy, far ahead of their automated neighbors. Use this boost to your advantage or risk being left in the dust! Also note that the Colossus is the one ancient wonder that has not yet been built.

I had planed this for the August NMCC but it was not ready in time. I noticed the GOTM did a similar scenerio but I assure you, this one will be far more challanging.

Note : they AI will build all these wonders after your first turn in 3950BC.

There was some crap at the beginning of the file (I suspect it may have been created on a Mac) which I had to remove using a hex editor. The version below should work.

I got one finish already from a guy from Apolyton (I decided to put the NMCC on Apolyton to widen the competition). Good luck everyone! Let me know how your games are going!

You start the game in Monarchy which is nice, but remember you dont have the tech.

So when you switch to Republic you cant go back to monarchy till you research Monarchy.

It would have been really nice to have started with MON tech too.

I never thought about that... usually once I switch to Republic I don't go back. Well, good luck, and get those lightbulbs burning, there's always Fundamentalism!

So, how is everyone doing? Remember, your games are due by October 1st! Good luck!

Having problems with loading the game..Am using FW version.. Is this a MGE sav???

It is a MGE save. Some people find that the DL on my site works better for them (even though its the same file)... you could try that... let me know how it goes. Remember its due Oct. 1st but thats still enough time, after all its a small map.

Still no luck... oh well....

October 1st!! Um....I better stop getting myself banned and start playing!!

I’m winding down -- conquered the Vikes & Greeks a while back. just took out the Egyptians & Japanese….when all of a sudden what should appear, but Aztecs and Babylonians (instead of eight tiny reindeer !)

Curious, but it is not a major problem. I bought the Babylonian settler (& now am chasing a Zulu settler around) & will need to find the Aztec (all one city of it) empire . The clock is just about to roll in 1700, so I may switch back to democracy & grow a bit until 1750 & then eliminate the final few.

Results Are In!

Congrats to all finishers!

Onward to NMCC #5!
