How to get Civ2 on 64 bit OS WITH reasonable AI?

[ogre44444]

Hi everyone!

I've been playing this game for eons and love it to death, but I recently got a 64 bit OS, and classic obviously doesn't work. I've done some research and upgraded to the MGE, but now the AI is very hostile (and not very fun at all!).

So my question is, is there any way I can play with the "old" AI, or something like it, without jumping through the hoop of using virtualization software?

I really appreciate the help!

Place in the same folder as your civ2.exe and remember to "Run as administrator".
If you do it right the date modified should change.

Also you might have to re-apply to 64-bit patch again afterwards.
