I started playing civ 2 about two years ago. Everyone I knew that was playing was of the male population. My first game(space race/chieftan) was a 7 city empire on a random map. the main reason I survived the evil carthies was because I made friends with the romans. I paid then to kill the carthies. it worked out well. I then worked my way up to getting the too many cities pop-up with a 223 city empire(oops I didnt know there was a limit under govt types)in a warlord game. I played a prince game and found out that there is a limit on future techs. I played the emporer game and got a 600 something civ rating. by this time 2 of the other people playing I knew kinda forbid me to play it anymore. well I am still playing(in secret though hehe). I am currently playing a deity game. christ the computer cheats alot.
I love the borg. I be a part of them anyday over the federation.
