I have managed to setup a live stream with youtube and OBS software, so I can stream civilization 1 gameplay inside dos-box-x and windows 7 directly live onto youtube:
An 8 hours video where I played this game non-stop, only get some water in between.
The first few games like 2 or 3 or something I tried some new tactics like base/city on mountain and build wonders with caravans, which was god damn fast ! YEAH ! =D Beautifull.
Then the final game I managed to stay alive for a long long time and still alive and kicking ! With the french ofcourse at emporer level earth and 7 civilizations but only 3 remain.
At the end the game crashes as usually when spaceship start to land, hmmm could be a good reason to try and prevent them from making spaceships. I actually gave the russians space flight lol... late in the game. I could go back to a previous same game and stop that... pretty sure about that which could be funny.
I do suspect the AI gets corrupted somewhat because it becomes quite passive.
Anyway the video/live feed managed to capture the crash so in case you interested have a looksy.
This was on a laptop with a broken 3D chip but the 2D rendering seems to be ok.
This time I kinda believe it's a problem with either ms-dos or dos-box-x. It mentions a Memory Control Block corrupted: "MCB chain broken at 6193:0000!"
Maybe this will help somebody at debugging it ?
If you don't know how to play Earth map in Europe position than this is definetly worth a watch ! =D
Some secrets are:
1. Build compact/tiny, this time not too tiny.
2. Build walls
3. Get ships too in case you get locked in, lesson learned from this experiment.
4. Go for money,research. I wrote it down in a textfile which are the tech branches and such.
5. Have a plan !
Try out the plan and improve it ! =D
6. Decide which wonders you want and go for it ! Use caravans to quickly build them ! =D
Well bye for now !
Skybuck.
P.S.: Oh I just found out it didn't record my voice, cause I disabled the webcam mic in windows 7 settings ! Maybe better this way ! LOL... But next time I may record my voice as well... for now no voice of me ! just the game sound !
P.S.2: Wow if mic and mixer are disable windows will first also disable all audio, so that has to be re-enabled if audio is to work again... woooow... always something with tech ! even in the game hehe.
P.S.3: Youtube sure knows how to link a good interesting video now that it see me play for 8 hours:
Very civilization worthy a MUST watch if you want to understand this planet better, after first few minutes me already convinced ! =D
