Thanks a million Tulac, much apprecaited, that was just the
sort of indication i needed, i have used mods woth other
games, but not with Civ, and there are such interesting ones,
and great scenarios from all sorts of historic periods which
interest me, actually the scenario library makes a living history
laboratory all by itself!! What an amazing game. I hear there is
a Civ IV in development with many new technologies, new buildings,
units, and even wonder movies coming back......
and hear good things about Civ III, and some people love Civ I for
its special style: I have not had a chance to try Civ II
but the graphics and images are so intriguing. I am still doing
research and have not had a chance to actualy play the game yet,
I like to prepare and get everything in place first. Thanks so much
for your help and suggestions.
I will be sure to keep master copies of the main files, yes indeed.
I noted that there appear to be four versions of Civ II, the classic or
original, then what appears to be called FW or Fantastic Worlds, Test of
Time and Gold Version. I am assuming that if you have Gold Version,
the scenarios will play for it that also play for FW and TOT, am i wrong?
I did see that there are patches that update a basic game to Gold, but
can one go backwards, and down size the game to earlier versions from Gold
that you know of? I am glad we have the Gold version on the site. I did
see that the Gold version requires that the player have a Civ CD in the
CD drive to play the game, but found a patch that bypasses this requirement.
Do you know if our Admins loaded the patch already? I can look for it
later but just wondered if you or anyone reading this know about this. :blink:
What are the maps i see availble used for,can they be used for
making new scenarios, or are they created for use in the regular
game and can they be selected by menu?
It will be fun to try the edit and creation features, but AFTER i get
somewhat competent with the game. :bye:
Thanks so much for your help. I found a great library of files on this and
both other Civs, I and III at civilization fanatics site, including a full manual
for Civ II if anyone needs one. Hope it is ok to mention this in the forum,
but i noted someone was looking for a manual i think.
Thanks agian for your help , i am reassured and hoepful of being able to
enter into this remarkalble game soon.
