Well let's see. This will be my first GOTM. In fact this my first post on this forum. Hey, I only found this site like a week ago and I've been busy playing the GOTM.
Right now I'm in the year 1944 and I'm only a few turns away from winning, I've been waging a war of inciting revolts. there's only two zulu cities left. One of which I just found and I have a cruiser and a transport in close proximity to and soon I will have a spy as well.
I'll be able to take over there capital soon as I already have 2 artillery on the same continent as thier capital and I have 8 more which will arrive next turn.
While this might sound surprising, this is the most aggressively I've ever played Civ2, and I've had it for close to 6 years. Oh my I remember playing it on a 386 with 4 MB Ram and 100 MB HD. Needless to say, I had to shut off the throne room, civilopedia, wonder movies, diplomacy screen, heralds, and the high council so the game would even play. and of course i only played in 16 colors. but really the only thing that got me upset was that i couldn't even see the grassland shields. lol
well like i said this the most aggressively i've ever played civ2. i think i'm doing pretty good at conquering considering i didn't even start until 1850, when it occurred to me that if i wanted to end the game before 2020 i'd better start conquering. by this time, i was already approaching an impasse in my growth anyhow, i had completely colonized the initial land mass, fortified an elephant to keep the americans and the celts away, most of my cities were approaching 12 and i hadn't discovered sanitation yet.
so i started producing a military and moved my settlers down by new york. first i attacked them to break the peace, and then fortified in a fortress, then i waited for them to attack me with a catapult and then i built a fortress outside of new york and took it over. and then, well the rest is history, but next month i promise i'll keep a better log
