Can't believe it, It was the most annoying feature of the game and after 25 years you solved it? I am gonna try a new game, if it works I'll make you a bronze with your nameNew version 1.20 (build 707).
This time something special.
44. Finally fixed AI attitude calculation. Due to the uninitialized variable, every turn the attitude of the AI changed to the minimum, which made the AI very aggressive towards the player. This bug turned out to be so obvious that it was decided to completely remove the option to enable the fix. This bug is fixed by default without any options.
Unlike the previous version of the patch, which originated somewhere in the deep history of this forum, and which completely cut off the change in the attitude, now the calculation of the attitude should be performed as it was intended by the algorithm.

There is another field 'City radii'. Here is visualization. But, again, it reveals cities hidden from the player.
Why are the resource numbers different on your screenshot: DANSVILLE 49/43/57 (F1) vs 40/21/51 (tooltip) ???the tooltips on units and cities
yeah thats weird.. I'll go have another look to see if I can reproduce itWhy are the resource numbers different on your screenshot: DANSVILLE 49/43/57 (F1) vs 40/21/51 (tooltip) ???
I will send this files for reanalysis as false positive to the Avast but that will take time. Also check your signature base is up to date. Also I'm not sure that next release I'l have to do this again as my program uses "suspicious" technique called dll-injection.my antivirus is blocking the download of the zip file (Avast)
I have no plans to repeat all this work for 2.42. Why you're asking? What is there in the 2.42 that is not in the MGE?I love what this addition did for MGE. Is there anything like it for the older 2.42 version of Civ2?
wrong size of file
That is the reason. Please, use the original CIV2.EXE.(JB no limits version)
I used to play 2.42 in Windows 7. Once I moved to Windows 10, I began to play with MGE because it was easier to install. I found the AI was building far less cities in MGE vs. the number of cities the AI built in 2.42. In my experience, 2.42 seems more challenging.What is there in the 2.42 that is not in the MGE?
Hello Friends, I had hope that you might be able to provide help with an issue I'm having. I installed the patch yesterday and everything seemed to work like a dream, However, When I attempted to play today I can't get the game to work. I am able to play with the original .exe but that's it. The game also crashes now for some reason. I tried to re-install the patch but my computer keeps striking the .dll file when I extract it. I also noticed a civ2_.exe application in my directory that wasn't there before. It refuses to open so I'm not sure what that's about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everyone stay safe and healthy wherever you are and "goodnight and joy be with you all"
EDIT
So after playing around a bit more I found out that every time I attempt to build a new city the game crashes. I backed all my files up just in case something like this was to happen. Don't know if this information is important but I thought I should through it out there.
I am able to play with the original .exe but that's it. The game also crashes now for some reason.
Yes, this is the one known bug on 64-bit systems. UIA fixes it. But the way UIA works, you need always run the game through UIA launcher, so it will fix the game in-memory without modifying civ2.exe file.every time I attempt to build a new city the game crashes.
Sadly, most anti-viruses are very angry with Civ2UIA.dll file. Maybe, because it was built with Delphi7, which is used most for building hacking/cracking software. So try to check your anti-virus rules.but my computer keeps striking the .dll file when I extract it.
