What are we? Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

The "where" thread is going pretty well. Now it just occurred to me, what version is everyone playing? I wonder if this might show some interesting stats on that subject. Me? I only have the MGE version. From what I've been reading, I'll bet there're only about 1 in 10 who play that one. Let's find out. Although I'm not sure of all the different versions that are available. You all will have to fill in the blanks.

MGE - 1

Suffering from ads?

I'm a 1.07c person at heart, since that is where almost all of my games have been played I do have the 2.42 CD now though. Guess that would make me a more than one? My CD drive is non-functional where i have 1.07c, and I like having the 2 to compare from time to time

MGE - 1
2.42 - 1 (2?)
1.07c - 0(1)?
-
More than 1 - 2(1?)

looks like we need a couple rulings on what counts as what. do earlier patches of 2.42 count as a different version?, do we increment each version we have, as well as the number of people with multiple versions?

I too am totally confused - I possess 2.42, several variants of this including Hi-Res and a personally modified Hi-Res I use for my own games, MP, CiC, FW, ToT and CtP but I guess that as over 90% of my games are either straight 2.42 or on my own mod of 2.42 I should cast my vote for 2.42???

Is this corresct

1.07c - 0(1)
2.42 - 3(3)
2.78 - 1(1)
MGE - 2
ToT - 1
More than one - 4

I have Ultimate Civilization Collection, the Euro version of MPG. Updated to version 1.3.

Well, Ollie, this is a fine mess you've gotten us into. Why am I reminded of the data processing cartoon showing the tire swing hanging from a tree as 1) the analyst designed it, 2) the programmer coded it, 3) operations installed it, and 4) the user wanted it. There were other variations but these give you the idea. Anyone familiar with this cartoon?

Anyway here's my stab at the corrected totals-to-date sans ()s with a new format (as the poster envisioned it):

Version-----Single-----Multi-----Total
-----------owners----owners

1.07c---------------------1--------1
2.42-----------2----------5--------7
2.78----------------------1--------1
MGE-----------2----------2--------4
ToT----------------------3--------3

Clear as mud, right?

I have the following versions of the .exe file

1.06 (2)
2.42 (6)
2.62 (1)
2.78 (2)
MGE (3)

and TOT (4) (for multiusers)

versions up until 2.62 are all the same in saved game format, so I never use the lower versions now. I usually play with 2.78 because I can't stand MGE. I bought TOT on a whim, installed it, took a peek at it, never touched it again. It's not designed for a P120.

I thought as with your "Where" list, it's a question of cutting and pasting the table, so i've added my single owner 2.42 to your list. However you'd have to add AL's contribution to it! A bit complicated if not everyone follows you MO.

Touche, Carolus. LMAO at your comment. I didn't realize that EACH editing would be noted. And it WAS a booger to get the alignment as good as I did. But I think we've all got the hang of it now.

Hmm, let me see. I have installed on my computer:

civ2 v1.02
v2.42
v2.62
v2.7.81
MGE patch 3 (v5.4.0f)
ToT v1.0.0 (no patch)

I installed all of them at the same time cause I wanted to compare saved game files once, and I didn't remove the useless ones, but I use FW (2.7.81) mostly (almost only).

I got 1.02, not listed in the list, but I'll make that 1.06 for the sake of simplicity.

With a little bit of thinking and calculating, this should be it:

Version-----Single-----Multi-----Total
------------owners----owners
1.06----------------------3--------4
