Hem, just in case... I liked the first one. I played it months ago on my Mac till late (or early 
) in the morning. I usually go to bed at 4 am, and the day after I worked...
Anyway it's not a problem if you cannot afford Imp II. Well, uh how to say that. Internet is large and abandonw**** (ok i can't say this work entirely or it will be deleted
) sites are numerous. Recently found both I and II on it. Don't ask me where. However, my email address is available

I played 1 a bit, but I didn't really like the combat system it had.
I have looked at two and even bought it for a friend, but it seemd too similar to #1 to try and get back into.

Yeah, I sucked....
It was too basic. Everybody lines up, light infantry draw the fire of the defending artillery, keep pushing forward, blah, blah, blah. It was always the same style. Once you figured out how to attack or defend, you had your pattern. Fighting with a pattern gets very old very quick.

I agree. It was not meant as a war game, which is a good thing, because then it would be really bad.
I played it for awhile and just plain founf it too repitious. You get the raw materials, you convert it to some goods, sell the goods, use the money to buy more raw materials, convert it to some goods, sell the goods..... over and over again.
The naval aspect of it was also pretty lame, IMHO.
It was good for a good month, but then it just faded....
Any other views on it Ace? (He played it a bit longer than I did.)

I know that was the point, that's why it was always done.
Once I got the system down, every game I played was one where a nation joined me without war. Because by then it was just a matter of money and goods.
I never said this was a bad game, if it was I wouldn't have played it to the point where it became repitious. It's just that in retrospect, when comparing it to other games I have played that held my interest longer, it wasn't all that great of a game also.
I guess to someone still playing the game it might be kind of a let down to have someone say they were not that thrilled with the game, sorry.
Hey spycather, do you think anybody else is even reading these? We are (in some ways) giving people a good overview on how to play the game and nobody else is even getting to know. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>
On Edit: I told Ace we talking about Imperialism here and he said that he wouldn't be posting much at CFC. He said it was more fun to play Civ than to talk about it. What are the odds of that?

Like I said, it has been a few years since I've played it. But no, I don't remember ever having any problems once I got use to the game.
Unfortunately Ace just registered and never got into posting much (I think he has 2). He actually showed me this site in the first place and I have even made some posts on stuff he was saying.
If I was asked about Imperialism when I was actually playing it, I'm sure I would have had kinder words for it.

From what I remember, there was always somebody that would pester me, but there was always a way to cut them off at the knee caps.
I would either buy up their raw material supplies so they wouldn't have the goods to sell anymore, or capture the lands they were using to build materials, or bribe away his allies, or use the navy to stop his shipments (pirates made that more fun too). There was always some way to be the supreme power.
If I knew where the box for the game was I could pull out my notes for it and give you some specifics, but I haven't seen it since I moved two years ago.

It has gotta be at least 2-3 years since I looked at Imperialism. If I remember right, it was a pretty good game, but it just didn't have the staying power of civ II. Like the Duke said: it got "old" rather quickly.

If I remember right, Imperialism was one you could play MP, right?
I just know that once either of us (Ace or me) lost interest in a game, it owuld be replaced by another game pretty quickly.
We went through games rather quickly that way. Ace actaully has stayed with Civ II since it has been out, while I went back to my RPG for awhile there. But I'm back to Civ II since I now know there are people out there who know more about the game than me.
If I ever find the box and it still has my notes in it, I'll pass them along. Have fun with it, after all, it was considered good enough for them to make a #2.

I don't remember playing any scenarios.
You are playing #2, right?
All my experiences were with #1, so that could make a difference in how we see the game also.
I don't remember the commodities that much; arms, furniture, clothes....? I know I never sold arms. I didn't want them to get used against me.
