I decide to reinstall Civ2 *yay!*
The CDs are missing *boo!*
I find all 3 CDs (Civ 2, conflicts, FW and install them *yay!*
The FW one is horribly scratched *boo!*
Anyway, the point is... anyone know how to fix a really scratched CD?

This might sound odd. I have never tried it. It was suggested by Stereophile Magazine years ago when I used to read it. It was also suggested in reference to audio CDs and CD-ROMs have a lot more data on them.
With that said. I had read that applying Turtle Wax or a Silicon lightly to the CD will fill in the scratch enough that the laser should be able to read the data without skipping.
I don't know how this effects the inside of a CD drive and I take no responsibility for it. The other option is that I have seen these disks at Target for $10 on the discount rack. That might be the safer solution.

Actually... What files are placed and/or changed around(apart from the new scenarios).
It may be possible for someone to e-mail them to someone if it's small enough, or possibly put on the web...

I ran into exactly the same problem a couple weeks ago! My eldest needed me to reinstall Age of Empires, but the CD was HORRIBLELY scratched! MacSoft Tech Support offered to sell me a new CD, but also suggested trying a polishing compound to repair the scratches.
So, off to a music store I went (CompUSA and other local computer don't carry the stuff, go figure), and bought "CD SCRATCH REMOVER" distributed by EZ bros, Inc. It works just like a fine rubbing compound and removed or at least diminished the scratches. The CD played fine immediately after polishing. The cost was about $8.00 US, but was an instant solution and didn't require postage and handling!
I'm sure that there are similar products by other companies, just look for them in music stores. Good luck!

There's a downloadable patch to upgrade the game somwhere. Not a chance for scenarios, though.

I don't care about the scenarios, I just want the patch.
