Cool. For inspiration, one interesting strategy is to prioritize taking the long road to Kiev, because the wonder there "Road to Byzantium" gives ships extra movement, IIRC. One of the rivers leading into the southern east Baltic Sea should be almost fully sailable, as long as you bribe/defeat...

No reason to apologize. I'm not a frequent guest around here myself! :-) There should be a download link here : https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/hammer-of-the-north-v2-9-for-test-of-time.12466/ It seems to work for people. Can't speak for the ToT version myself as I never got around to...

All three of them made some quite memorable scenarios back in the heydays of Civ II ! :) Would be cool to hear what they've been up to lately! Never actually played Test of Time either, although I do have it on my shelf. So didn't make that switch either :) I can see that the latest round of...

Hey @CurtSibling, @techumseh and other old-timers. Still looking for some evaluations of this old scenario of mine in this thread : https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/hammer-of-the-north.643226/ Yeah, it's hell of a while ago. But IF you - or anyone else you know - played my scenarios back...

And long standing forum member & fellow scenario designer & historian Exile's review of the second (MGE) version (from 2007) : "Hammer is a recreation of the Viking Age, starting with the Lindisfarne raid and ending at the beginning of the high medieval period. This scenario was Morten...

Here's JValdezToo's recommendation for the first version of the scenarie - all the way back in 2001 :-o “I’ve played a lot of Civ II scenarios to say the least, and I think I have quite a handle on some of the interests of players and designers. If a designer were to ask me if events were...

Hi everyone! As you may know I was once a very active contributor to this community, some 15-20 years ago - the last 15 years not so much so. Working, buying a home, raising two kids - life is very different today than it was back then, when I was a student and had lots of time on my hands to...

The one and only :-D Yes I did indeed spent a lot of time on these forums, both here and and on Apolyton. Sometimes even more time than actually playing the game :-) The pleasure is all mine!

Thanks! Nice to see that you're alive and kicking as well! :-) No, unfortunately that scenario on the great "Emin Pasha Relief Expedition" got stuck. It's a black spot of shame, that it never went where it was supposed to go! Haven't actively worked with civ2 for a great number of years...

Hi guys, awesome to see there's still life in this forum! :) Was a very active regular a long while ago, both in the CivFanatics Scenario Creation Forum and in this one, which was hosted elsewhere at the time. I agree with what's been said - it's a knowledge base, that goes very deep, so what...

There are a number of sites, where one may play Civilization II online, for instance : https://playclassic.games/game/play-sid-meiers-civilization-ii-online/play/ For obvious reasons these sites do not allow one to play scenarios, other than the two provided by the basic game. But it seems...

How can I cancel an alliance with an AI civ? I want to get rid of all their units flooding my territory!

Being the part time hack that I am, I figured the patch may work well for the map editor as well as the main game, if it is the same patch for MGE as for ToT. Trouble is, the patch won't allow you to select the civ2map.exe file for patching. Seemed easy to fix (never do something like this w/o...

Thanks for the patch - it works very well! Any chance one may apply this patch to the map editor as well? Seems it has the same issues as the game : it crashes in Win7 when one has to type in something, such as the ressource seed :-( It doesn't save maps either...

They can trade them, so make sure you don't give them _all_ your latest techs. But dropping all but the very latest & hottest doesn't hurt IMHO, as it improves relations a lot with your vassals. Neither will they trade every tech they discover back to you. I find it doesn't matter a lot...
