OCC. Just average finish year, but not that bad for a spot with only 2 trade specials I guess. A peaceful game overall. 3850 BC - 25g hut. 3550 BC - Babylon found, 1 wheat, 1 buffalo. //Road on buffalo first. 3350 BC - Warriors. 3150 BC - Nomad hut. //I swear I've never gotten one in a deity...

Hi. @WildPony pointed me here so I decided to give it a try. This map is unlike anything I've ever seen before. But it's fun to plan new stuff like this. I decided to go for OCC conquest. 4000 BC - Tenochtitlan founded. 3800 BC - Warriors. 3750 BC - Bronze Working. //Needed to prebuild...

Still looking to find places to improve. Feedback is welcome. D= Random normal map. Deity. 7 civs. Raging horde. Mongol. This is a very interesting starting spot. I started on a small piece of land sticking out from the South Pole. There were ice tiles to be transformed later but the specials...

This is the log of my most recent game. Not sure if it's valid. I play the MGE with attitude patch so there's no constantly hostile AIs. Random normal map, Deity, 7 Civs, raging horde, Mongol. 4000 BC - Starting techs: Bronze Working, Ceremonial Burial, Horseback Riding, Mysticism. NON Archer...

Hi @WildPony . I learn things from your log. Looking forward to your Republic comparison game. Quick question. I see you built a lot of diplomats. How did you use them?

Hi Prof. Garfield. Thanks for the reply. I think the idea is to send the first 3 vans to a nearby AI city and get the road connection bonus, so subsequent vans going overseas will yield high payoffs and still doesn't replace the first 3 routes, so I can use the unblock commodity trick forever...

Hi everyone. I've been learning to get better at OCC (no size limit). Usually play with normal random map, deity, raging hordes, 7 civs. I'm still struggling to shave unnecessary turns off in early games and I have some questions. -What's the best color to play as? I assume that weak colors...

Hey FoxAhead. Again thanks for the answer! I have a few more questions. Might be a little off-topic though, but it's been on my mind for a long time. In MGE, there are a few glitches that don't really affect gameplay, for example the throne room back wall graphical glitch. MGE throne room...

Hey. That's a cool patch with great features. Thank you very much! I can't find the 5.4.0f patch anywhere on the internet. I just use it with the 1.3 US version and it does work. The music seems to loop 97-98% of the time. There are very few instances when it doesn't loop. I can't seem to...

Sorry if this has already been answered but I searched. Is there a way to fix civ2 music issue? (jerky music, no, loop, sudden stop) I know there's a workaround like playing the CD with other program like wmp but i prefer a proper cure that makes the in-game music plays when it's supposed to...

Hi, everyone! I've been lurking around here, learning many things from you! But I just registered lol. :D I've played SMAC since the day of its release,and it has never left my PC except when I format it. SMAC is easily my most favorite game of all time. IMO it's otherworldly and...
