Got spare money?

they must just be picking civ2 out of the bargain bin, and have succumbed to the addiction

I'm a civ2 newbie. I only started playing in 1997.

John - in Liverpool some of the gaming shops have CIV I as a discount buy!

CIV 2 (which way do I write it? ) is also well represented.

Suffering from ads?

I'd have to say that we are crawling out of the discount rack. I played the game before but never owned it. I finally bought a copy last September. The Succession games are like peer pressure to keep playing. "Come on Skrobism. It's your turn. Take a hit."

SG, why are you only a Chieftain? Edit: I look after I post and you are normal!!! That's weird! I started playing in 1997. I think some of the newbies call themselves that due to the fact that they don't know all of the knowledge that regular board posters know and/or they are just knew to the forums.

I am new to the forums. I have had Civ since it came out.( 1996? ) I recently bought the Gold Multiplayer and started playing again. I find this site fascinating. The amount of knowledge you all have amazes me.

Allow me to draw on some of that knowledge to correct you. Its not knowledge, its trivia.

Still an interesting mix of old hands, real newbies 'helping their kids with no real interest you understand' and the Gits.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I first played Civ 1 on the Atari ST (anybody remember them), stopped playing for a few years then recently picked up TOT, and have been playing ever since. Still having probs winning on Emperor though, I don't really enjoy the ICS method, although its the only way I can beat TOT at the moment, unless I play at King or lower.

However Civ 1 I can beat at any level now (I still have the ST)
