I imagined, when I noticed it, that it got lost in the holiday shuffle...the Christmas holiday that is.

Looks like the wrapup is just a formality, but, isn't it upon such things that our Civilization rests??

Apparently, everyone else did too; but, there is no final save or confirming log.

It is from so far back, I'd have to read the first few posts again to find out what is Tricky or Sticky about this game. Do you remember without looking??

Mickey Mouse, Despotism -> Democracy only govts

* Straybow thinks waaaaay back

I think we had everyone except the French, and they were located so far away it will take a dozen turns just to sail there

The French have a single city on an outpost and an enclave of about 6 cities on an island - try as I might I could not find a way to defeat them in a single turn - the logistics of the outpost defeated me - so I lost interest .....
OK - another trip to the Institute - I will get it finished in the next few weeks ....

Yeah I knew it'd be a pain to finish. When I realised I wouldn't finish on my turns I was quite happy.

For want of anything better to do, I have downloaded the .sav to this game and plan to finish it over the weekend.
Report and save on Monday, when our balance sheet won't look quite so bad with another old game taken off.

The report isn't good.

I couldn't get Spikey's save to load, so I'll download it again today, and hopefully get another go at it this evening. If not, then I won't be able to play until next weekend I'm afraid.

What version are you using? It's a gigamap and needs MGE IIRC.

I originally got the save last October and just d/l'ed it again. Both work fine, duke, so if there is a problem, it is not with the save.

Maybe the Civ Godz want Stu to finish this one per the regular order?? He has been working on this for 10 months, after all.

No biggy. This one has always had a Mickey Mouse wiff about it.

I was fiddling about with the USB stick anyway so that might have caused the problem. I'm afraid that I didn't get a chance to play last night because the duchess wanted to buy rail tickets on the net, and that means it'll probably have to wait until the weekend. Mind you, if the weather here stays as it is then the softball match for tomorrow night will be cancelled and I'll have a bonus night of Civ.

Oh, and thanks for posting. I didn't want three posts in a row. Ming might not be too pleased, even if they were on different days.

Well I played the turns last night, and got up to 1899. Unfortunately I forgot to write a log until about 1897, which was a little too late.
The game is effectively over, with only one French city left, and more than enough howies to take it down. The bloody senate, after ages of passing peacekeeping resolutions, decided to sign peace with the French, so you may have to wait another turn to win with a spotless reputation, and take advantage of all the celebrating cities. After I saved though, I just caused an incident, the government fell but the game was still won.

Chalk another game down to the Civ 2 succession team.

If you are going to say this is over now, then Stu could have said as much last Oct.

Perhaps this is another version of "...it depends on what the definition of is, is." Or, put another way, when does "inevitable" allow us to declare victory and retire??

One city left. Who wants next...anyone from the original list?? I suggest waiting til mid-month when Stu returns from annual leave. But that is probably the old romantic in me speaking.

Well done, duke !
IMO you should send some kind of public private message to stu, so that at least he knows that this game is over

The Monk beats me by 2 minutes ... with a much more serious reply (as usual).
I agree with him though: this game should at least be sent to stu , so that HE declares game over.

Well the game can be won now (as I was hoping that it would be, because there are quite a few barbs threatening the mech inf in whichever city it is on that island), but it wouldn't be won with a spotless rep, and since this is 'poly then maybe it ought to be...
Anyway, it'd only be a case of waiting until the French start to annoy us again - and there is a howie left in position to facilitate this.

What took you so long Dukey???
I had all bar one of the French cities down in the first turn - it was that damned outlier that I could not seem to get the logistics right for ...

The game is won - and I don't have to manipulate a monster hew:
