The original MiChello's WWII thread. This is a patch for version 2.2 of my update to MiChello's Civ2 conversion. The missing diplomacy icons have now been repaired; other changes are documented in the zip archive. The advisor tech tree still isn't pretty, but now it's bearable.

The original MiChello's WWII thread. This is an update to MiChello's Civ2-Civ3 WWII conversion, including new graphics, reworked units, and Civ2 techs. Most of the changes are documented in the zip archive. It is not perfect, and the advisor tech tree needs repair. You will need Conquests...

Files for MiChello's WWII Civ2-Civ3 conversion. .biq file sold seperately.

Could someone explain to me how I load troops onto my ships, I just cannot figure out how that is done

The original MiChello's WWII thread. This is a minor .biq update to version 2.1 that corrects the helicopter so it will attack ground units.

I agree with you that Belgium had some influence in history, but I think you have to make a difference between Belgium and Flandres (like there is a difference between Roman Italy and the kingdom/republic of Italy). I would rather see Flanders as a new civilization than Belgium, for Belgium...

I know about the Dutch UU having been discussed in the civ3 forums as well. Back than I too suggested to replace the swiss mercenary by the "Geuzen" (Semi-aristocratic rebels, first to defeat the Spanish and take a city), which would make excellent (and historically correct) marine-like units...

True, I was trying to be provocative :p . Tough I do believe Charlemange's influence on history has been larger, people just tend to know Louis rather than Charles... "The example we saw was of France, which could be run as a pacifist state under Louis XIV, or as an expansionist warmonger...

Napoleon is also remembered for introducing the metric system troughout Europe, education and the establishment of the napoleontic code. Louis may not have been succesfull in war, but as the leaders in Civ4 are supposed to resemble the leaders of times past, Louis just wasn't a pacifist...

And that's my point, he just wasn't a pacifist. I don't think every nation has to have two militaristic leaders, but it's rediculous that a nation cannot have two leaders that are much alike...

How about the Borobudur for Buddhism?

Who was the leader for China in Civ1? Who was it in Civ2? Civ3? If Mao is a bad choise, shouldn't he have been excluded a long time ago? I can't imagine this is the first time people have complained about having Mao as a leader. But regarding Civ4, isn't it just a matter of tradition for the...

I agree that Napoleon was warlike and the French need a choise of balanced leaders. Louis XIV just isn't less militaristic, he waged war for a longer period of time than Napoleon ever did, but wasn't succesfull in conquering the vast territory Napoleon did. The problem is that France has had...

In the recently posted preview of civ4 on the 1up site, it says that you can run France as a pacifist state under the leadership of Louis XIV. This sounds fine, but there's a small problem with Louis XIV, as he (as i recall) wasn't that pacifistic at all. He waged wars during his entire reign...
