Where they show real life footage mixed in with a little art?

I loved them a lot in Civ II and think they add a sense of realism as well as accomplishment in the game.

 

[markieness]

I do.

I much prefered civ2's wonder videos to any of the later ones.

 

[Commander Bello]

Atmospherically much better than anything (except some fan-made ones in the mods) for Civ4.

 

[tom2050]

I like those old ones better as well.

 

[mythmonster2]

Never played Civ 2, but looking at these videos was enough to convince me. Much better than Civ 4's. The council seemed entertaining as well.

 

[PieceOfMind]

I sign this petition.
Civ2 wonder movies were memorable. Civ4's were forgettable at best.

 

[Rexflex]

I'd prefer the style of the Alpha Centauri special project movies most of all, but otherwise the Civ II wonders felt a litte more epics than its successors.

 

[Dig-Doug]

Yeah the civ 2 had some definite advantages such as the throne room, videos, and overall playability(Though the graphics were lack-luster at best).

Maybe make this a thread with a vote at the top

Those videos were sooo amazing...!

I get chills down my spine just for watching, remembering those wonderful days playing CivII...

 

[Ex-Cop]

Wonder videos of Civ 2 coupled with Civ 4s Leonard Nimoy tech voice over. Would be classic

 

[moscaverde]

I too agree. It's amazing when you see the actual wonder you just built, gives more meaning.

 

[Never]

I agree. Civ2 music rocked as well.

Who else wants Civ II like wonder videos?

Me!

Does anyone else miss the High Council?

 

[Commander Bello]

Me!

Does anyone else miss the High Council?

This was really great.

I loved to watch those guys.

 

[Fleur-de-Lis]

Anyone like the Call to Power series wonder videos? I thought they were nice.

 

[Milith]

I prefer Civ4's.

Yes, I played CTP long before playing the Civ, I don't remember exactly my Civ style games order, but, before going for Civ 3, I played alot CTP.

The wonder videos are gr8! I still can remember the great pyramids and the road that I forgot the name =X... Anyway.

 

[Commander Bello]

At the bottom line:
The High Council, the wonder movies of Civ2 and the wonder movies of CTP showed a love for detail and the game.

Actually, that is something I was missing with Civ3 (for obvious reasons) and with Civ4, too.

 

[timmey_o_tool]

If I had one wish, this would be it, bring back those movies ! And also the palast from civ I !

Oooo, and the council, I forgot about it, but it was awesome.

Roger this post! Except they got to have that old dame from Women's Suffrage giving you mean-eyes as she cast her vote in the ballot box. Brilliant.

I thought the videos were a good reminder that it wasn't only a game, but a tribute that these were real achievements by real people.
