I think Firaxis has made a big mistake animating the advisors Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Let's face it, thousands of civ players had a big crush on the foreign advisor in Civ II. Now that little guilty pleasure will be lost to us. Can't we have another sexy advisor or two or three?

I used to always listen to the civ II foreign advisor, over and over again, even though she never made the slightest bit of sense

Also, it would be fun to see and hear Sid and Jeff and other staff live.

Well, you *can* always replace the Advisor art, I dare not imagine who you'd put up there instead, though...

BTW, Sid just told me to tell you, maybe we'll put out a "Madeline Albright / Janet Reno" patch later just for you....

Yeah she was nice but nothing to get obsessed over. I don't really care about the advisors. I usually don't like to listen to pointless advice. Nor do I like to listen to informed advice. So what does it matter to me? Firaxis you should supply Horsie with a Civ2 foreign advisor gallery.

Anyone ever get any info on who the advisors were for civ 2? I assume they were actors. Anyone know what the foreign advisor is doing now?

I promise not to stalk her

Dan,

I got an idea for what you can do for Horsie. Instead of having that picture of that lady in the 'Search' (I think it's Elizabeth I???) you should place the picture of the Civ2 Foreign Advisor. So how about it? ??

I think Firaxis made a great mistake by using graphics. What's wrong with text-based games!?!

I think Firaxis made a great mistake making Civ 3 a computer game. After all, what's wrong with pen and paper games? Aren't they fun anymore?

Actually, I think there was a thread (or maybe a news item) about her not too long ago. She is an actress. If I recall correctly, the thread gave a link or posted an article about her that was discussing some current project she was working on. At the end, it mentioned some of her past efforts, including the fact that she was the advisor in Civ II.

I think it said she likes horses, too.
