Greetings.

First there was CivII
Then CivII Fantastic Worlds
Then CivII Multiplayer Gold Edition (which in Europe was just called CivII Gold)
Then they made a upgraded CivII with Test of Time.

Fantastic Worlds in contained within CivII Multiplayer Gold Edition. Nothing from any versions of CivII is compatible with the ToT version, as it is the latest in the II series.

Apolyton.net is a better CivII site than Civfanatics, IMHO.

Diety level is not impossible to beat. There are master players on Apolyton that win the game by spaceship victory in like 1,000 AD. These players are mathematical and precise. There are also other players who win the game (spaceship victory) by only having one city throughout the entire game!

I am an old community member of CivII and there are a zillion really well done scenarios with gorgeous artwork and well put together historical references. Some of my favourites were in the WWII era. Do a web search for "CivII Captain Nemo" and you will be in awe of what Civilization II can do.
