Well, fine, thanks you so far. As far as I remember, there were actually two different AI patches. I think one fixed the ai to be less "moody" and stay at the same attitude towards the player for longer time. The other one made the ai much more friendly, I guess. But I dont remember exactly...

Blastoise, I have send you a private message. We noticed you left our hamachi network agein. I think the easiest way to set things up and find an appointment to play is to join and connect via Steam (if you are on Steam) or just send emails around. Do you have email? Do you have Steam? Please...

Ok. I just gave it another try. Please tell me, if you received anything. If not, I will find another solution. Thanks.

Hi FoxAhead, I just allowed myself to send you an email at your hotmail address included in your paypal link. I hope this is ok and it worked. Please let me know. I think thats the last inspiration I have for you concerning this project, since all the patches I know to this date of must be...

Hey Fox, thanks for your reply! Will donate something soon. Thx. I also made you member of honor in our small group. Thx for joining! :) Thx for your explanations! I always thought it would be because of Win 8 + 10 network adapter settings, but this was a wrong assumption. Didnt think that...

Hello everyone! Since the awesome civfanatics member called FoxAhead (https://forums.civfanatics.com/members/foxahead.305220/) programmed his awesome launcher (https://github.com/FoxAhead/Civ2-UI-Additions/releases/tag/v1.7), making it even possible to play multiplayer sessions of Civilization...

Hi Lord_Hill, excuse me, but what do you mean "good luck with sorting out multiplayer". Just as FoxAhead stated and as far as Catalin and I tested it, the multiplayer is working under all actual Windows OS by now using the launcher of FoxAhead. If you would like to play with us, you are welcome...

As FoxAhead and I stated elsewhere, there are only issues for multiplayer sessions of Civ 2 MGE under Win 8 or Win 10, NOT under Win 7 or lower versions of the OS. Blastoise, if you want to play Civ 2 MGE, please let me know. If you are on Steam, please add me there. My nickname on Steam is...

Thx! This is awesome! Are you on Steam? If so please add me! My nickname on Steam is also: DaringPaw. I have set up a group in honor for Civ 2 MGE and your great effort that made it only possible! Please join there as guest of honor. If you have a paypal or patreon please tell me your details...

Ok, as soon as I have installed everything again, I will test it - I mean the first option, you mentioned: Using some modified Civ2.exe. I did not refer to the Patch of deeves, though. To make this perfectly clear. Thx. For future development I really suggest focussing on Win 10 multiplayer...

Cant your workaround be used to start with Civ 2 with a modified exe or even the unlimited patch?

Hello FoxAhead, thank you for your answer, again! It sounds at least like we could be somewhat confident that you will do it sooner or later. The "unlimited patch" doesnt address the specialists in cities, in fact it changes only very view things, i.e. individual and total limit of gold, cities...

Helllo FoxAhead, thank you for your reply. As I wrote in the other thread, the patch didnt work for me. I worked around all issues (including network connection issues) by installing an Oracle Virtual Box, running Windows XP + SP3 and some Intel Driver Package on it. It worked perfectly well...

You do not address any of the network or connection issues for playing multiplayer games on Win 8 or Win 10. Does the game run on Win 8 or Win 10 with your patch and allow network connections? As far as I noticed, Civ 2 MGE MP did not work because of connection issues, moste likely because Win 8...

Hi Mark! As you can see in this thread, other people as well as myself had the same issues: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/tcp-ip-failing-to-connect-for-multiplayer-game-in-win-10.571438/#post-14434917 As I have posted there earlier, the solution is to install a Virtual Box and run...
