It's been a long time, vmxa! Glad to see you're still around.

Thanks, Civinator. I'll take a look at that!

I have always loved MOO2. I picked up my first copy in Germany in about 1998, and played the German version for several years before I finally bought a copy in English. I tried MOO1 later, but it just wasn't the same. And I found MOO3 to be a huge disappointment. I can't honestly even say...

Ok, so I'm really, really late to the party, and have to admit that I haven't played C3C in about 15 years. I should probably also admit that if you really boiled down my games, I was an Emperor-level warmonger. Sure, I probably had a cultural victory at some point, and the occasional...

Thank you. Unfortunately, my current life situation doesn't include much game time, much less figuring out a "virtual machine." No, I'm not in prison. Just very, very busy. If I can ever get life settled again, I may pick C3C back up. Who knows?

Thanks, @Spoonwood! I assume you're still hammering the HoF? I've been lurking now and again. Haven't had a computer that would run C3C in years, and I kind of miss it. Link fixed.

Goodness gracious! It's hard to believe that the article I wrote 17 years ago is still up.

I'll have to check those out at some point, but life is way too busy for me to find C3C time right now.

I don't think I've check in here in a couple of years, but it looks like y'all are still going strong!

I'm exceptionally late to the party, and it's been a long time since I played C3C. Once upon a time, though, I thought of myself as a solid Emperor-level player, with a few skirmishes above that. But let's be clear: I didn't play for diplo, space or culture. I conquered. With that said, I...

We've haven't had a gaming console in probably 5 years. When COVID first started ramping up, the Little Aabraxan (who isn't really so little any more) talked me into buying a Nintendo Switch. School had shut down and she was absolutely bored to tears. She used Zelda: Breath of the Wild as...

Welcome back! I had something very similar happen to me. Couldn't get C3C to run for years, finally got a Switch and Civ 6, and then discovered that the Steam version of C3C would run. Oh, joy!

You can airlift workers. You cannot airlift settlers or artillery.

^^^Excellent!

My kid used BOTW as bait in the "COVID Boondoggle to Get a Switch," and it worked. I was hooked on BOTW for about 2 months. Even now, I want to go back and replay it. Yeah, SMAC would not have been my first choice to introduce her to 4x games.
