Peace be to all beings! A builder, but when I get Beyond the Sword, I plan to investigate the "investigative services" as thoroughly as possible -- in other words, I plan to spy like a madman! :scan:

B-uuu-uuuu-uut if they're lumberjacks, then that's okay They sleep all night and they work all day :crazyeye:

We were praying beforehand: Please, Lord let: a) my video drivers be adequate b) me have enough memory c) me psych out this whole new tech tree so I can win this sucker! :mischief:

I can see the concept now: fade in on the soloist with a sunrise behind him, then the chorus as they join in on the second round; cut as the verse starts to rows of players flipping mice.... No, scratch that. Tell you what; your people get together with my people, and we'll do lunch. Okay...

An impressive piece of work there. The song certainly does catch your attention, and it's probably my favorite part of the entire soundtrack so far. Then again, I'm just getting into early industrial age now, and I'm hitting some interesting music at this point; but none of it sticks with me...

I don't know about the Celts, but once I learn a bit about modding, I plan to add in the Kelts (Patricia Keneally-Morrison's Keltiad).

She already plays it; in fact, I'll probably have to make sure she does her homework before playing.

I must sadly admit that I am moving on to Civ III, folks. I've read of the patches to Windows, Xecreble Poison, to allow you to play Civ 2 on the newer machines; but, bluntly, I don't trust myself not to do some massive stupidity and copy over something vital when I shouldn't, even with...

Read the first message in this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=69565 which was from me, for my own feelings about the Senate at times..

Yo! The War Academy is invaluable, both for colonizers and warmongers. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2strategy1.shtml I especially recommend Sun Tzu Condensed, and Fischer's paper on "Fire! Waging War in Civ2." Also an excellent resource: the epic thread started by scloopy...

Like many things in Civ2, it's a stylistic thing, as you may have noticed. Myself, since you can't bribe out a capital city, I'd first send in waves of spies to keep my intelligence up to date on the place and sabotage them out of their gourds. Investing the city is also good; but have a lot...

I keep the grid on, and simply lay it out in my head. I always try to take advantage of some feature of the terrain, whether it be for resources or strategic position, unless I'm just plain trying to build more cities and fill in the spaces. (More cities equals more science beakers, after...

As I recall, yes (I haven't played for a few months, and will probably have to get my chops back when I boot the ROM again). Any enemy unit not in a stack with another unit can be bribed if you have the gold. As for why the blinkin' camel wouldn't step into that city, it was probably aiming...

Your .sigblock says it all; they're stuck in an infinite loop!

I have to say that every time I see the word "Dip" in here, my mind snaps back to an old compilation book of "B.C." cartoons, titled Dip in Road. And there was a picture of the dip in the road on the cover to prove it....
