lol. athlon 3400 processor, 512 megs ram and civ2 is making me overheat. made it to 1200bc in a game before chugging and freezing started. :(

sounds eerily familiar to the problem i have been having trying to play civ2. i have amd athlon 3400 processor, runs at over 1.5 ghz, and it slowly overheats when playing. i got to 1200bc today in a game before the game started chugging and freezing up on me. it destroys my cable internet...

i used to play civ2 on a p2 266mhz computer. for years i didn't have a problem with it. i recently bought a new computer. a compaq presario with windows xp installed on it. now, when i start the game, the cpu usage goes straight to 99%, the fan keeps turning on and off, and after several...

oops.....i figured from the 210ad position and looking at the demographics page, that a civ had regenerated, it turned out to be a rogue mongol city (sneaky settlers!).....DoM's game description, the term "no restarts" refers to the ai or to the human?....i am familiar with black ckicking, but...

ok then.......i just played through thinking of going to chivalry, map making, to trade, then to navigation.....i have a few stragglers left to kill off, maybe 3 cities left of which 2 i cannot see...it is 210ad, one of my cities with high trade has been building wonders; colossus, sun tzu's...

thought i'd play through a second time to see how i could improve...finished that game in 1070ad with almost 24 million pop......

i got 50 gold out of each of the first two huts and bought a settler immediately. Finished in 1320. 31 million population.

my decision to research trade later is due to the fact that if i research earlier, the cities i have are still too small for them to materially benefit from building a caravan. I don't really show a benefit to having trade before i am a republic. Plus, for the most part, my cities aren't...

hmmmm.....i have read all your comments...i will offer another angle to you... no huts, no trees, no land resources, on an isolated island. I decided my priority at first was to build up cities. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. I figured i would be building into the 4th round which would take me awhile, so...

i haven't started the game (but i am about to)...........i bet the map doesn't wrap around ;)

Apologies if i come off a little tearse. I have another question totally unrelated to this GOTM. I was playng a multiplayer game with 6 others, my civ being on a medium size island with another civ. I chose to do war, knowing I controlled 3/4 of the island and superior tech. My civ was...

I am a little misguided here. It says on the GOTM forum to play just one game and send your outcome in. Now I am reading that some of you played as many as 5 times to see how well you could do? By my understanding, the game will NEVER generate the same random map twice, making it redundant to...

700 000 population in 1ad, 7.2 million when i finished in xxxad. Made Sun Tzu's my first acquisition. Wonders include: pyr, hg, col, lh, gw, sun tzu's, mpe, mike's, leo's, mag's. I would have finished earlier but the last 2 ai cities on the map managed to get settlers past me and i took me 70...
