Do you have MGE or FW? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Am I correct in assuming that everyone has MGE by now? (either aquired commercially or via Cedric Greene's 'patch')

I am not sure what this new 'quick reply' feature is, but I will use it here. I own both. However, I was unaware when I bought FW that you need to have an original CivII to upgrade to. So, FW is still in its box, and MGE is what I use to play and build things.

I have both - and both via the patches at CivFanatics. The only thing I ever bought was the original Civ2. FW and MGE are impossible to find in stores now anyway.

Quick reply... zooooom!

I do have a "patched" copy, but I usually play and develop in real FW so that's what I voted for.

NEVER seen MGE anywhere in Oz or NZ. Was it less widely available or something? CiC was everywhere here, but finding FW was a bit of luck for me.

In Aus/NZ it was released as the "Ultimate civ2" edition or something akin to it.
I've only ever seen one copy and didn't have time to get it when I saw it. Wasn't there an hour later...

CiC/FW are/were fairly widely available I think. A secondhand software outlet closeby still gets them in on a semi-regular basis.

I've got both installed separately; my MGE version is from Cedric Greene's patch and is a bit buggy on my computer for some reason, so I still rely on FW unless it isn't possible to convert the scenario.

I have a "patched" version of FW. All I ever bought was 2.42. I've never even seen MGE or FW for sale, so I'll patch away. What drawbacks could I expect from switching to MGE, since everyone but me uses it?

A newly reported drawback
@DEBUG statement doesn't work in events file.

And another one I've noticed.
You can change governments in MGE even with the No government switching on. Most of the time the flag works, as the REVOLUTION selection is grayed out. However, when discovering the government techs, you get the do you want to change govt. prompt. This does not happen in FW. To me that's a bug.
