Contents:1. Video Series Summary:
About The Civilization Genre HD Video Series:Welcome to the fourth episode in a huge video series years in the making where I show you how to play each classic Civilization genre game (including spinoffs) in 1080p HD, while showing off some of their best scenarios and mods along with their interesting and sometimes very different console conversions, plus also trying to play as the Barbarians in each game too. Naturally this fourth main episode is about Sid Meier's Civilization 2 (just MGE, as ToT will be the big episode 5)!
Later in the series I'll also be looking at fan games and naturally at some point I'll get to the more modern Civ games that don't require any tricks to play in HD and will still tribute them too of course! In many cases there's simply too much to cover in one main episode so I'll also be making special extra bonus episodes to compliment the main episodes in the series, so stay tuned!Video Series Contents & Navigation:
2. Civilization 2 Main Episode HD Video Tour:
About videos on playing Civ2 in HD with mods & scenarios:Seven years in the making this is a huge 3 part video tour showcasing Sid Meier's Civilization 2 Multiplayer Gold Edition (MGE) in HD with some of its best mods and scenarios (Test of Time will be covered separately later in it's own tour). This is the fourth main episode in a huge series showing people how you can play classic Civilization genre games in HD on modern systems with some of the best enhancement mods out there. I try to show off some of the best fan made scenarios too, along with some lesser known console conversions, and I also show you how to play as the normally unplayable Barbarians 8th Civilization slot.

Video Notes:
- If everything looks too small then you're probably viewing this video on a small screen or phone. Civ2 has built in zoom controls so if you want things to be bigger then just adjust them or lower your Windows resolution and the game will resize to fit.
- If it feels a bit choppy and slightly schizophrenic that's because 'many different Blakes' worked on it haha! Basically I started the video in 2018 and worked on it on & off until 2025 deleting old stuff & adding lots of new stuff! I tried to intermix and smooth out the transitions between old and new footage & audio as best as I could so hopefully it's not too bad sorry.
- Before anyone says it I know it also suffers from being too long and too rushed. As the 7 years went by and I rescued more & more awesome total conversion scenarios I really struggled to cut content from the video so it just blew out massively!
- Sorry about the lousy mic quality, have bought a much better one for future videos.
