Busy times are over, but some people still play, they just might not post as much. I, however, post more than I play so I'm doing my part to keep the forum active

Well... we do have less to talk about. Most of the stuff about civ II has been discussed... There are no real "new" strategies... there are less active games... it's now down to just the hard cores...

At least it's still easy to find games

Yes, I still find a way to get in two or three games a week. So on the playing side, it's no different than a few years ago. Old players leave and new players come.

But I post less, because like ming said, less NEW stuff to talk about. And less responses even when we do.

Well diplogaming isn't where it used to be. That's a shame.

We are trying to get a Civ3-MP game going, but its taking a while. And of course it wouldn't help this forum any.

Suffering from ads?

none of those links work, beyond the listing...

Even thgough we all know all the tricks and strats in Civ2 I think posting game threads is inspiring for others.

More are still playing than the threads sugest.

That's why I started that 5 city game thread. There's not much more we can learn off each other but I still like to read about the cut and thrust within the games that are being played.

Why don't you guys try a scenario or two or ten? I've got a nice one coming out about the Black Hills in 1870... 5 player game, little city management beyond improvements, really new strategies...

I keep coming back to Civ2!

Other than the Myst games there's nothing worth playing.

I like scenarios. It'd probably be the only way you'd get me into a Civ2 game again.

Although some Civ3 scenarios would be even cooler....

Scenarios are fine when I'm bored and don't have anybody around to play a MP game... But when it comes to MP, give me the normal tried and true standard game

Hasn't that been done to death Ming? All the strategies are the same, everything is pretty much the same game you've played for like 6 years now (or more). I'm bored of it....

While the general strategies are the same... I still try different things. Each game is still different depending on who's playing. Lately, we been seen more Elephants earlier than we used to... with far more action.

There are some games where it makes sense to rush to HG... and others where I know the best thing to do is create the biggest damn army I can. There are others where I don't even build many offensive units... It really still depends on the start... and that still provides a lot of variety.

To each their own. I still love the thrill of discovery at the beginning of the game... something I find missing in Civ III. And when I get a terrible starting position, I like to try new things.

Put an end to popups!

You guys are better off than the PBEM forum.

Its to the point where that whole forum could be locked and no one would probably notice for a couple of weeks.

I wish I had the dedicated time to play MP (which I dont) I would join you guys.

You don't really need much time for the games we play in the setting up IP games thread. People get together for 3 to 5 hours with no concern about ever continuing the game... just a chance to sit down and play some early stage civ MP. As I said, we love the thrill of discovery and early stage combat. Yeah, it would be nice to have a weekly time, where the same people always show, and we can continue a game, but frankly everybody has the same problem you do... so we just play a bunch of one night stands...

You should check us out on friday and saturday nights if you find yourself bored and looking for somthing fun to do.
