A little message about CIV2 versions! Remove this text

Hi folks!

It has came to my attention latetly that some posters have been trading
some unkind words, due to misunderstandings about relative CIV2 versions.

Now, we all love CIV2, and we all have our preferences when it comes
to what version of 'the glorious game' we choose to make our scenarios on.

But to fall out with each other and stand apart in rivalry over what version
we each use is plain crazy. And also bad for our unity as a community.

Test of Time vs Multiplayer Gold Edition?
There is no contest between them, both are great!
One allows easy creation of really classic scenarios,
while the other allows the boundaries to be pushed.

Where is the conflict?

I have used MGE for years and it is a definite version of CIV2, and beforehand,
vanilla CIV2, CIC and FW all were the standards for me, and the whole scene,
long before the current era we have now. And such a rivalry I see brewing now
would have been considered silly and pointless.

We are all CIV-mad, and we are all buddies here. We all love the same
game and can produce great work, regardless if it is done with MGE or ToT.
Sure, ToT is being experimented with, due to it's increased options, but no-one
should feel marginalised or left out, as the audience for MGE is still the majority.

No-one is trying to convert anyone else, there are no restrictions on any of us.
Our main duty is to keep the flame alive and support each other, and with no bad blood.

If sharp words have been traded over the merits of CIV2, would our
friends please retract them and maintain the bonds of our community?

If posters have became unpleasant to each other, then that is something
that concerns me deeply, I see no need for that and hope we can set
all things straight again in our ranks…And continue creating fine
work, regardless of game version! Come on! This is CIV2!

Yeah guys, chill out. There's no reason for arguments over Civ. We've all been through a trying couple of weeks but everyone should keep their heads.

Is this a reference to the debate on Evolution Games? I haven't see those comments here, but debate is healthy.

Nope, it is an reference to what I have heard about a fall out
among well-known posters, regarding versions of CIV2....

A unhealthy situation that should concern anyone here.

I have merely picked up the vibe that there are some rival
states of mind on the subject of what version is 'best'...

I just wanted to remind people that there is no 'best'.

One person may use Photoshop to make a wonderful image,
and also another may use oil paints to do the same artwork.

Nothing buggers a community quicker that elitism or rivalry.

Remember what was discussed in the 'Roger Maris' thread before the big crash...

Scorched Earth was pretty cool. Could someone make a scenario for that?

help! help! we are being opressed!
@biru biru, i'm notsure how an artillery game can be made into a scenario, unless the only type of unit in the game are tanks, and different techs unlock different types of tanks, I.E. defencive only tanks, paradroppable tanks ect, i might look into it, i might even port the scorched earth tank icons for use in the game,
hint, if you look really really hard you can see the attached image, microscope preferred

I meant a civ ii scenario of course. I'm not going to commit a serious crime against civanity by claiming superiortiy of anything over the classic. I just want to dwell on the very real greatness of the competition, even to the point of incorporating some of it's outstanding points.

missle units only, of various strengths ?...

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

change terrain events? some cities or what not drop into the newly formed ocean, etc, when hit? part of scroched charm was its sheer verticality. There must be a way to enjoy the same feel with the essentially 3-d civ map?
