I have posted in the 'poly thread, and want to register my sadness and regret at his death here too. :( A massive column of the Civ II community at both the major sites, La Fayette was a true genius of the game, the like of which I can only hope we might see again. Thank you for all of your help...

Hello everybody. I'm just popping in to see how things are going along and it seems you're onto a third game already! :goodjob: I know this is in the wrong place, but I didn't want to enter OT because it might lead to all kinds of spammy speculation about a more permanent return. Instead, this...

Could we have a sub-forum of Site Feedback for the many many threads that people start asking for new sub-forums? I for one am not making you all read both the political and the nonsensical threads in OT and so I suggest that you do what I do: choose which threads interest you on the basis of...

I wouldn't worry too much about the Russians for the time being, but Fanaticans have very long memories and few will live to regret the foolishness of their ancestors. :nya: Once we have "consolidated" our hold on Viking territory then we can turn our attention to a new civ worthy of...

:lol: Well if you think that the History Channel devotes too much time to WWII then here is the schedule for Channel 5 in the UK on New Year's Day evening: New Year's Day 7.30pm - Britain's War Heroes Documentary focusing on Lt Ian Fraser and his crew who, in 1945, were decorated for...

Well I got the same screen as rmsharpe and Ancient Grudge but noticed that the page address finished with Gandalf so although I haven't got a précis or a pretty picture to show you all, I'm a grey/white wizard type chap. :)

Were you being sarcastic here and I've just missed it? :confused: This looks to be another interesting game but will definitely prove difficult for the OCC-only players. :crazyeye: I think that some may not even attempt this because it will be so difficult as OCC. I'd also like to see an...

I quite like the idea that it is possible to win by a cultural victory, although culture flipping would annoy me, especially with the constraints it puts on waging a decent military campaign. The UN vote does suck though. More ways of winning were a good idea, but that particular one was...

How about a Civ and a Civ2 Screenshot of the Day? Or at least one every week. :mischief:

Yeah it's possible - it's just extremely rare. If you pay 'poly a visit then in the Civ 2 section the Scouse Gits were setting up a few games for those players scared of Deity level by starting loads of new games and posting those which gave the player a huge advantage. One of these gave you...

Hello everyone and happy new year! :D I'm starting a new job on Monday so today may be my last visit for some time. :confused: :( Even so, here are some thoughts: The Indian dip by our new and beautifully titled city may be on a road, but aren't our musketeers all on forest and jungle...

Why thank you, I have to admit to being rather fond of your hats too Uncle Joe. :) There was a Civ 2 scenario that allowed you to fight for control of a city as the cops or one of a number of mafia gangs but I can't remember what it is called. Sure it's available for download at CFC though...

Could you not just have put this in the thread in which you were having the discussion in question? If that thread was closed then opening a new one just to continue the argument will get you into lots of trouble. Without the context, this is pretty uninspiring stuff. Maybe if you had included...

G Man, when I said electronic music I didn't mean that awful tosh with the biddly beep bits people are supposed to dance to, but rather everything produced by electric guitars, electric organs, drumkits etc. In fact, I shall go further and include studio production under the electronic umbrella...

The births of jazz and of electronic music will both feature heavily in the future's "Précis of 20th Century Music" but which performers will stand the test of time is far too early to say now. Just because someone is popular among their contemporaries does not mean that they will be so highly...
