Progress report, AD 1200: I have SoL now, and am Fundamentalist. I'm researching Monotheism, but may not discover it before the end of the game. I have a beachhead on the Mongol continent, and will be carving a path through it to reach the final destination. The Vikings and Aztecs are being allowed to survive until I take out the Great Library (the last thing I need is for the Babs to get gunpowder). Marco Polo reports:Carthaginians: 82 cities, 199 Musketeers
Russians: 9 cities
Babylonians: 5 cities
Vikings: 1 city
Aztecs: 3 cities
Mongols: 15 cities Edited "Monarchy" to "Monotheism". Oops.

Sorry War, I don't have SimCity 2000 so I can't try and duplicate the effect - have you tried the following:
- create a new (empty) folder in your Civ2 directory - something like c:\mps\civ2\spindle
- copy the two files spindle.scn and spindle.txt into this folder (or alternatively download them directly to this folder
- start Civ2 and select 'Begin Scenario' from the first menu
- the open file box will default to the civ2 folder - click on the spindle folder and you should see 'spindle.scn' in the file select box
- go for it!
If you've already done all this and I am telling grandma how to suck eggs again [aside]No, ghen, No!![/aside] I do apologise and hope one of our friends here will help you out.
Good civing ...   ------------------

I finally finished. World conquest in AD 1670. My casualties were amazingly light - contrast these numbers with Smash's:Settlers 1
Warriors 2
Phalanx 1
Pikemen 1
Musketeers 27
Horsemen 1
Elephant 1
Knights 1
Dragoons 1
Cannon 1
Caravel 3
Diplomat 1 Points in my favor - I built Marco Polo, which gave me a nice boost in tech. I didn't kill anyone off until I captured the Great Library. I think the bad guys would have picked up some of my techs if I had. As it was, I finished the game as the only one with Gunpowder(!), Democracy, Monotheism, Theology, Leadership, and Metallurgy. At the end of the game, I pulled a trick I've always wanted to try. I put almost all my cities to work building temples. As soon as they finished, I sold the temple and started a new one. Low tech Capitalization! I should have started doing that earlier - I built too many units that never reached the front lines and cost me a lot of time in moving them around. Fun game, SG. But where do I send the bill for all the time I spent on it? |

by the looks of things I think I'd rather be in your army than mine.The ai's in my game seemed to get more advanced for some reason.The Mongols were especially well entrenched with walls and vet muskets everywhere it seemed.At the end I was seeing alpines,marines and cavalry.Fortunately the ai didnt get tactics until very late or I might still be at it. Great game. Interesting idea about the build/sell temple plan. |
