It is possible-but tricky.

Why not? Barbarians never change what their group units are unlessed forced...

8 Civilizations should be possible, but tricky. You have to make the programming accept 8 different tribes. Then you must name it and then have it identified in rules.txt, and set its possible starting techs. This could be done through differentiation, but it should be incredibly tough...

The 8th Civilization, the Arabs or the Incas, were removed from the game, sadly. In an email I received a while ago from Microprose included the statement "The brownflags are no longer playable" Meaning: They were NOT the barbarians. By the way, if you include "2 Civilizations" under the...

Civ 2 doesn't look for the CD, only for CDROMDRIVE:\Civ2\civ2.exe That's all.

Alpine Troops are VERY effective earlier in the game and veteran Alpine Troops can hold their own against most weapons (nix Veteran Bombers, Stealth Bombers, Stealth Fighters and Howitzers) and the computer never upgrades the weapons. I use Alpine Troops often because it makes my defenses fast...

Civ II also looks like it has much less animation. But come to think about it, the sounds will probably be MP5s and MP3s.

Looks like ToT is going to continue to Civ III

I doubt Civ III would be playable on a machine under 300 Mhz. Here's why: 1. Space 2. Common with (lower) processors, 32MB > RAM, which means...yech 3. DVD is going to be the mainstream later 4. People will upgrade to DVD for a game like Civilization. DVD isn't too costly anymore, and DVD...

Production Hint: Have your Engineers turn the terrain to hills...it takes a while, but if you have four coal mines, that equals a lot of production.

Generally, an irregular power graph without cheating would have all tribes fall and not the "dips" so this is a cheat more than likely.

Plus, I wasn't cheating, and I hadn't edited rules.txt

I know in one of my Civilizations, I had 169...In another before robotics, I had 135.

PS-X has bad 2-D graphics, and even the Super Nintendo is superior to it in the respect. It is mostly a 3-D system.

People tend to forget the actual size of software. A CD looks limited in size, but with modern sound technology and compression, everything can probably fit on the CD. Remember, most of the files can be put on the Harddrive since the harddrive is so much bigger these days, which means you can...
