I would like to make a little observation about 16 City Process.... I believe first the production is done and only then the city grows. Now something more advanced, that usually is said when in a One City Challenge. It is well known the trick to start a mine and only then found the city...

And so, in 500 AD I attacked Ulundi with the 2 catapults and took it. And then, I headed for Republic... I didn't research anything, as I got for free every tech. And, in 780, I got The Republic. Quite a late Republic, by all standards. Here are screenshots of my 2 towns in 800 AD: and...

I guess I gave the remaining civs quite an advantage, I mean I had my own city only at 850 B.C, a size 2 city, with no improvements. But I didn't feel bad, because I knew the Indians were not far ahead, and the Zulus too. And I heard that the English had been destroyed by barbarians.... My...

I quit playing civ2 GOTM for over a year now, because of the time I used to lose with it. However, I consider myself a civfanatic, because civilization was definitely The Game for me. And then Civ2. Unfortunately, I couldn't spend too much time on it lately and it seems this will not change for...

I sugest a compromise: just push the deadline from the 5th to the 20th. The new thing will be that we will have GOTM13 on the 3rd or something, so there will be a little overlapping, but what's the problem???;) So everyone is happy: longer time to play each GOTM, still a a new game each...

I agree with the idea of smaller land mass, no matter how it is achieved, as long as it is a random map. But don't worry about the smaller number of players, as a matter of fact I didn't submit this month because I hadn't finished until deadline. That's why this thread crossed ny mind :) ...

So far not very good.. First hut was 50 gold and I had to wait for the warrior. Then I expanded as fast as I could but I think I lost too many units to conquer the Germans. Anyway, at 1AD I had around 15 cities. I think all is about the beginning. I'll see in 1000 AD if I can hope of an...

I have a sugestion for atracting a larger number of people to Civ2 : let them finish it!!!:crazyeyes . It can happen to anyone at the end of the month to have a few problems, and ...oops, you didn't finish the game :rolleyes: Now really, make it more flexible. I was thinking of having 2...

Exactly the same problem here. I had my game going but my plans changed suddenly and I had to leave on the 29th and returned home only today. So, unlucky me, as I played quite much at the game.:( I wanted to say that I had a very good game, but how could I say it, considering it's not...

Well, I think the idea of raging horses is having problems with barbs:D . I didn't have problems with land barbarians, as I had exploring units. As for the sea...:cry: I already lost one city and saved other two with much luck. But I had to set science to 0 for a few turns, rush diplo...

Well, it was a nice game, even though it could have been better. Smash, I think you could have easily taken the silver if you had known from the beginning what was all about. Anyway, no problem for me here:crazyeyes As Lucky said, I ignored science and followed it only for Sanitation and...

I think now is the time for everybody to argument their point, as a decision will be taken and then they will have to keep their mouths shut.:lol: First of all, I believe that airbases should only be allowed for tactical reasons. I don't think they were designed to be a much(!) cheaper...

I think that there has to be a way to customize your map accurately, without making a scenario. A lot of the fun in playing the game is not knowing the map and having to discover it. Personally I enjoy exploring. I use large map with large land mass with archipelago and I get fine results...

I also didn't have time to finish it properly. I submitted the gane on the 2nd. I just founded a few cities with my settlers and then ended it. I didn't have time to wait for all my engs to finish working (one more turn). So, no spaceship for me (it would have taken about 25 turns I think)...

I am European too, so have to wait. Of course you can imagine what big scores we will get if we get GOTM X a few days earlier, considering also that everybody is playing Civ3:lol: . I think that's why they are not giving us the game to play! Anyway, I wish you good luck!:beer:
