    PolyCast Cut! Tin Edition

    Hey, someone mentioned a Master Of Magic Mod for Civilization II: Test Of Time in this episode. Is that a real thing, or was it just a joke. If it is a real thing, how do I get it? I still have the disk for civ2: ToT at home. I have always thought that ToT was uniquely situated to do a MoM mod...

    I've discovered a better way to Seige enemy cities.

    No, They had a habit of meeting with me, deciding that I was "worthy" of a peace treaty, then sending a good unit to fortify right next to my city. happened in at least 3 games that I remember offhand. Can't remember if I was using that square, though. another interesting thing I didn't...

    I've discovered a better way to Seige enemy cities.

    I must be inexperienced. I am so used to them damned zulus coming up and fortifying right next to my cities. :mad: :mad: :mad: I never knew there was a limitation for doing that. hmmmnnn... do caravans have that no ZOC flag, so they can walk around with impunity? i.e. without having to...

    I've discovered a better way to Seige enemy cities.

    I must be missing something. in civ1, ANYONE can walk on AI squares when you have peace. no city limit "get off my land" demands. Of course, I do understand the happiness benefits.

    Let's talk about CivNet

    The gameplayis identical to civ1, except you can't use the settler cheat, or the savegame cheat (the one where you get another move by loading a saved game) it works fine for me, but I haven't tried it in multiplayer for anything other than hot seat, for which it works just fine. the AI...

    Strategy tips?

    ahh... I DO have the dos version, just has a few problems with the mouse. sometimes the mouse responds, most of the time it doesn't. it only responds in the main map screen, and only then sometimes. it has a strong tendency to freeze if I move it toward the colonipedia. I have the manual...

    Heroes of Might and Magic I vs II vs III

    hmmmnn.... Heroes of Might and Magic. really cool stuff. Heroes I was really cool, but had a lot of game imbalances, almost all of which were addressed in Heroes II. Heroes II was probably the most fun of the 3. lots of maps and fun stuff, lots more informative interface, etc. Heroes...

    Strategy tips?

    I guess I hadn't run Colwin since I upgraded to Win95. now it's even worse, and crashes every time you try to do anything. maybe I'd try the Dos version, but I don't have it, or do I....

    Master of Orion (MOO)

    if it's doing what I think, it says "reconfigure hardware options". that means that it needs the IRQ addresses for your sound card or soundblaster legacy sound. sounds complicated, but easy once you find these values. i you're quick enough during startup, you can see the values listed on the...

    Strategy tips?

    Hi, I have Colwin, and get a bit frustrated because it crashes a lot, but that's not all... I have some trouble figuring out what I'm going to be doing. most times I just found a colony somewhere, then sort of msey along until the crashes frustrate me too much. is there strategies to...

    Emperor level w/o cheats:possible?

    Civ1 also doesn't have the city placement requirements that you have in civ2. when building humungous amounts of cities, you should build a city on EVERY plains and grassland/shield square. Not on the grassland/no shields, those never build anything. This tactic allows you more cities with more...

    Can you play OCC with Civ1?

    I have played OCC a few times while waiting to fix my hard drive. it is a bit difficult, since many of the civ2 features paul's OCC guide don't apply. For one thing, there are fewer tile specials, and dang few which help trade (just Gold and Gems, I believe). I did it on warlord and...
