How Big's YOUR Civ2 folder?

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Well, how much space does it take up?
Over 500 mb here, and over 300mb of that is scenarios.

Between Civ2, MGE, and TOT about 250M, but I went through my archives last year and deleted most of my old game saves and zipped the few I kept.

Yikes. My FW, gif library and ToT put together are still under that.

So I guess we know to whom to turn the next time somebody has a hard disk crash.

Hehe, I have a lot of double copies of files in different formats though as PC versions need to be converted before I can run them.
Gifs->Picts
Wavs->Aiffs

Often I keep the PC files though as picts cannot be edited in image editors without messing up the pallete (it works fine with gifs however).

121 MB for my Civ2-FW folder, 328 MB for ToT...

But that doesn't really do justice to the amount of Civ2 on my computer, since I also have a full Civ2 website (and another in preparation) with lots of downloads on my harddisk, a separate folder with map resources, several Civ2 utilities in development, and a separate folder with all sorts of miscellaneous Civ2 stuff, like hex editing docs and lots and lots of maps.

All in, that's about 769 MB ( Still not even close to your figure, Henrik).

Not even close to everything
I do think there should be people who has more stuff than I do though...
168 scenarios are there, one which is a modpack (mady be me a looong time ago), I do think most of the space is taken by graphics though (I have a lot that's not used in scenarios but I keep it in case I need to use it in a scenario of my own)...

I do think I should to clean out some stuff soon though.

~400 mb although most of my scenarios are still in their zip files, and I delete all sound files because I never have the sound turned on.

Oh, rap. I didn't see the microphone, must be concealed behind the shield.

PS: Everyone had to fight right-handed in the Legion, and the Legionaires didn't use spears, only the Pilum (a javelin with a long, thin, lead-shafted head).

Mine is 140MB....I am astounded at some of the figures here. I don't have many scenarios/saves any more, but these are really small for civ2 anyway.

Maybe it is because I used the 2.42-MGE upgrade?

It does play but not very well. Slow and no sound. Need to try some of the DOS emulators and see if I can get it running at a decent speed.

700-900 mb when extracted- I keep my civ files in seperate folders... although If I hadn't accidentally deleted all my scenarios when I changed computers' I'd probably have about 1.1 gb
