What's missed out on in ToT?

[Vamino]

Ok, New member here...
I haven't really played much but I'd heard a lot about it being really fun, so when I saw what I thought was Civ II (Was actually ToT) for cheap I got it to pretty much see if Civ III was gonna be worth buying. But now I've been hearing that by getting ToT you miss out on some stuff.
Can anyone tell me all the stuff you don't get?

Thanks

I can't list all the stuff, but here's a couple of things,
~ I think ToT has no wonder movies (you'd not be missing much)
~ There are no battle explosion graphics when two units fight.

Most people's complaint with ToT is no Map or Scenario editor resulting in very few scenarios. You can always use my ToTtoMGe patch to try MGE which is what most prefer.

What exactly is changed in your patch? I looked at your site but its not finished.

LoL my site finished ah well...
my patch is a complete regression from ToT back to MGE. Graphics, menus, rules, everything is changed. Complete compatability with MGE v1.3 (5.4.0f of the Civ2 engine). Thing is any ToT saves and scenarios you have are not compatible with the patch so it's always a good idea to install a seperate copy. Also you'll probably need the latest Indeo drivers and codecs. which can be gotten from www.ligos.com
