I enjoy Galactic Civilization, but it's not quite like CIV II. But the gameplay is similar enough that it may be what you're looking for. I played Master of Orion some time ago, and it's a great game that you may well find has the same "addictive" quality. Lucius Alexander House of the...

Those sound like great names for bands. Or stories. Lucius Alexander House of the Palindromedary

It's been a while, but a couple of things I remember offhand - No editors. As far as I know, the editors menu in Gold Edition was the only one that ever existed. Animated art. The terrain, units, etc. in Gold, or any other CIV II for that matter, were easy to work with. That's how I like...

I tried Test of Time. For me, it didn't pass the Test. Lucius Alexander So I fed it to a palindromedary

I've played them all, and I keep coming back to CIV II. Specifically, CIV II, Multiplayer Gold Edition, which I consider the pinnacle of all Civilization. To me, the subsequent games were not improvements. But I'm sure that a lot depends on what you want from the game. What I love most about...

I am absolutely positive I have seen it happen in CIV II, Gold Edition. I have played other versions of CIV, but except for CIV I, not nearly as extensively. In CIV III it does not take much playing to see it happen. In CIV II, as I said, it's extremely rare. If it can happen in CIV I...

Oh yeah, and does it matter if the two cities are, or are not, connected by land? i.e. if rich advanced city is one island, and poor backwards city is on another island? Lucius Alexander House of the Palindromedary

I have forgotten the names of the cities and civilizations involved. But I remember getting that message saying that the citizens of a rival civilization's city were "casting envious eyes upon the luxurious lifestyle of their neighbors" or however it was expressed. "OH great" I thought...

I'd be happy even with a PDF of the CIV II Gold Edition Manual. Only to get the scenario editor advice. Lucius Alexander House of the Palindromedary

Thank you. I no longer get the "xdaemon.dll missing" message. I just get an even less helpful "Civ2.exe has stopped working" message. This is the greatest computer game in the world, and it seems the Fates just don't want me to be able to play it. :( Lucius Alexander House of...

I looked at that thread, but didn't see the link you're talking about.... Lucius Alexander House of the palindromedary

I am getting a message saying the XDaemon.dll file is missing. I have tried running a search on this forum, but all that gets me is broken links or references to a thread that supposedly includes a link for downloading the dll but does not include such a link. Can someone please help me...
