I have played Civ2 before and loved it. Now I want my own copy but with so many versions which should I buy? ToT looks to have many neat new features over Civ2. Is it worth it? Or should I buy Call To Power? Can I play against someone else head to head ie not over a LAN? Thanks for your time. |

All of them. I have them all. But i'd recomend MGE, because it has all the expansion packs and allows multiplay. ------------------

I think that Civ2 MGE is still where the action is...And Civ2 is still the best starting point. Get it first (it's not that expensive) and play it until you feel a lack of some aspect that could be better presented in one of those specialty offshoots. ------------------

MGE. But be prepared for the hostile AI. ------------------

Well I bought the original single CD CIV2. I just could not find MGE locally and I needed a CIV2 fix. Now I just need to figure out what happened to the past 2 nights of my life. This game is too addicting!Thanks for all of your posts.

Don't forget to upgrade to v2.42 - its free from here or from www.civ2.com and it fixes loads of bugs
