The thought has occurred to me that if it was possible to cross platform/version differences, two teams could play the same game, a la an OCC challenge. That might prove interesting.  Good luck, y'all! ------------------

kcbob - MGE can load 2.42 saves, but not vice versa. It's too late now, but for the next round it would be possible to use a 2.42 game that everyone could play. Maybe a team competition? |

Sounds good to me. This first one can be used as a "test" round. Wait a minute. If someone starts a game as 2.42 and sends it to me, an MGE player, will my saved game become "unusable" to a 2.42 player following me?  ------------------

|
Yes, so I guess in such a game the 2.42 players should go first and the MGE players should finish the game. |

|
My understanding is that the inital save would be generated in 2.42. Then there could be a team using exclusively 2.42 and a team that would take the initial 2.42 save and then load it in MGE. effectively making it a 2.42 team and an MGE team

Why limit it to two teams? Properly advertised, this could become a big deal, with people recruiting teams. Imagine Ming, RAH, and Xin Yu on the same team! Or Paul and Tom DeMille anchoring the perfectionist team. Lots of possibilities. |

It could be a competition between playing styles with an OCC team, a perfectionist team and an ICS team. Or any other strategy you could come up with. |

This really could get big, couldn't it? I can see it now... "Tomorrow night on ESPN... Team MGE/OCC vs Team 2.42/ICS. And don't forget to log into Apolyton and fill in your "Fantasy Civ2 Team" rosters before the "Win a Plymouth Civ2 Voyager" contest deadline ends." Maybe? ------------------

Boy, I haven't touched my old Civ2 disk since MGE came out. How do I know what version I have and where are the patches for that older disk found.
I'd be willing to join if there are not compatibility problems like there are with the MGE version.------------------

I have to travel this weekend for various sad reasons, so if the Gits would care to pass the save meant for me on to someone else, and put me at the end of the list for a later shot, I would appreciate it. I won’t have time to do this myself as I won’t be at my PC till Tuesday in all likelyhood. |

Hey SD - only 75 posts to go ... a true successor to the Thrice Godly (or is Four Times Godly now? ) Mao would have these racked up by lunch-time. But not on the Strategy and General Community threads.
You might ponder exactly why your guide and mentor it Thrice or is it Four Times Godly ...Now - the above is a perfect example of a spam posting that even supports the Apolyton Ideals - sorry Ming edit for typo(s) - oh damn, should have posted again to point out the error!

By the way, SG, that is the best start I have ever got. (except in my current game where I started the game by popping a hut for 50 gold, and then building a four special eleven river capital all in just 4000 BC. ) BTW, this wasn't a scenario or an occ save, I just got it by luck. I had five cities (non ics) in 3000 and 12 in 2000 Edit: Both BC, BTW

Hey! SG or DaveV.
I can't say that I've ever played at Diety level like many of you, but if there is still room I'd love to get in on this.I followed the first succession game and it looked fun. I have the 2.42 patch and am ready to go. |
