The rendering of the individual buildings is great. Moscow State U is a perfect reproduction of the real central building.

To me, the light palette makes the icons have a bright, Mediterranean appearance rather than the dreary, leaden grey look and feel that Communist era cities seemed to strive for and exude.

1950s Socialist Realism was all about brightness and enlightenment, it was the 1960s socialist reality (not enough money) that produced the famous gray commieblocks.

I agree. I always do that


The cities look very good! And one of them just great
You know, 3 years ago when I started studying in Warsaw,
I bought myself a postcard with PKiN, which is example of socrealistic monumental architecture.
I bought it with a thought of making a civ2 city out of it. Never did that though

Completed.

The smallest size city features Vienna's Karl Marx Hof apartment complex. Walled cities come complete with a gatehouse.

If there is enough demand, I'll make an isometric version.

Wonderful. I toured Karl Marx Hof several years ago on a visit to Vienna. It's a huge worker's housing co-op. It was the site of a battle in the early '30s between the local communists and the Austrian government. Just in case anyone was wondering.

I never ever expected anyone to recreate the Karl-Marx-Hof for Civ2!

Fancy!

Btw, keep up that brillian work, Smiley

Remember the old 'World War 1979' FW scenario?

These cities would be great if anyone ever decided to upgrade that classic!

Yep, the Karl Marx Hof is something over a kilometer long, and made up of a lot more of these sections. Isn't there a song about it?

I'd love an isometric version of those cities...

In fact, now that I'm reminded of the old WW79, maybe I could do something with that (and it wouldn't look ugly )

I remember that scenario. The a$$hole that made it demanded payment for the scenario, and usiing the 'kill civilization' command in the events.txt, would end the game after 3 turns unless you sent him cash. Fortunately the sonofabaitch forgot that you could simply use notepad to remove this tricky bit and enjoy the whole scenario without paying (not that it was any good to begin with).

I thought I knew all the old war stories around here. What's the story on this?

Its @ civfanatics. Download and read the readme for a laugh, and then delete. Its vanilla Civ2, hardly a scenario.

I remember a huge debate between Alex the Magnificent and a couple of others just when 'poly was formed. He was imbued with the spirit of Perestroika and wanted 10 bucks US for his first scenario. He thought his art work was worth it. Someone tried patiently to explain that even under capitalism, some things were done cooperatively. Eventually he came around.

I am dead sure about that song though I do not remember the name of it ...

The local government of Vienna was highly social-democratic and world leader in social governing a province - and in 1934 the Social-democrats tried to resist our then-fascist régime - without any luck. The Army used field artillery to smash down those rebellion.

There are many such communal buildings and housing sites from that era left in Vienna; they were intended to work like 'fortresses of the working class' but the fighters had no chance against the cannons of the army

If anyone should be interested in pictures, PM me and I could provide some material

Anyway, I´ll stop that spammin' and threadjackin' now.
