    Rid yourself of MsPaint

    Corel's bought out JASC. And PSP is up to 12. But my old "Six" has served me well. If you can lay your mitts on a PSP 5 or 6, It has everything a Civ Scenario maker needs.:D

    Why do you stick to Civ2 and its exp packs?

    I can start with "It's already paid for". And add that it's sufficiently versatile that it never gets stale.

    Do you overlap your cities?

    I try to avoid overlap. But it is generally unavoidable. It occurs when - there are special resources x 3 or 4 that require an overlapped position - when I need a special location for a Canal between bodies of water - when I'm filling up open spots after the first cities are fully developed. -...

    Tips & Tricks for New Players

    As early as possible, you want to build ships. If you can't build them, be ready to bribe attacking barbarian ships. Half load both of them with diplomats and send them to trace the coast lines. Whenever you encounter a hitherto unknown city, attempt to steal tech from them. If they have it...

    Please Help with Atlantis Scenario

    Enough little nubs of land at the south survive to put one or two cities there. Do it early. Then use the main city to feed it/them settlers and caravans. Put your wonders there so they will survive. You should fully develop the island. The volcano does occasionaly fail to erupt. That said...

    Civ2 Gold

    Each scenario that uses special units carries them in the scenario directory units "gif". If you dont have Civ2 Gold or you just want more, there's a fine, fat collection of units to be had over in the civ 2 downloads section. Many of them are superior to those old 20th century gifs.

    Units!

    I'm creating an "Inner Sphere" scenario. These units may not quite be the final group, but I am close to locking out changes. I wanted the units to be recognizable to Battletech players, but authentic Battletech images that look like anything at less than 50 pixels height are hard to come by...

    Best city position imo

    For the first city, I'll pick a river rich area over special resources. The initial population and financial effects are quite handy. Sea access is cool, but not necessary. After that whales or fish are good city starters. Later in the game i like a lot of hills. I love a site with a gold...

    MoO IV by FIRAXIS

    from all the bean counting in MOO3. I thank the gods that someone loaned me a copy before I spent money on that turkey. I'm still playing Moos 1 and 2, although Moo1 doesn't like my AC97 on board sound. I need to see it first. the burden is upon Firaxis to prove that this new offering is...

    Welcome New Members

    I've skulked around here for years, visiting to collect scenarios, patches, and utilities for my venerable civ II and civ I editions. its a great site. I've played Civ II for years but have only now decided to monkey with the scenario editor. As for waiting until now to join, it was a Zen thing.
