I have to figure out how to run Civ 2 on a Mac with OS 10.15 (Catalina). So it may take a few days, unless somebody has some insights. I have been playing Civ 6 for a while, but I can't wait to get back to the best!

Apollo to Launch Apollo vans are delivered. I want the Biggest SS: 4-4-4 – 8-8 –39 That is 67 production centers. So, 67 cities need to make vans, and then I get to buy stuff. Vans needed: 147 If I do it all at once that’s an extra 5800g My max money is 3992, but I need 2 more...

GOTM 202 Log until 2000 After last month’s absurd Hut luck, I decided to play this game for zero advanced tribes or Nomads until 1000BC. (all nomads or tribes will be reloaded) With only 2 AI - hopefully one of them will be a good trade partner. 1 SQ north is a 3-special. I can pop the hut...

I tried for a BC conquest and was successful, but I had the most ridiculous string of Nomads I have ever seen: two in a row, and then another four in a row. I have never seen anything like that before. GOTM 201 August 2018 Babylonians Emperor level. Alphabet, CB, Restarts OFF...

Jokemaster - 378 Engineers !!! That sounds like fun!

Major - Yes, you are right that I was absolutely too slow in early expansion. I was so excited to get there BC that I slowed down. I did, however, prioritize getting to the AI end of the continent to conquer Pyramids. I just need way fewer settlers to do that. An appropriate strategy would have...

Yes, the ship chain meant that deliveries filled the food box every turn even in Fundy. White Goods is a term from the early days - I think Scouse Gits invented it, along with Crooks. It refers to the cities building improvements in the City Advisor Window being listed in white. I actually...
