View Full Version : Remember Civ2?
Someone has been playing this one game for 10 years now, reaching the year 3991 AD...
His skills leave a lot to be desired, but that's what made the game so fascinating, that it appeared to have become an 'internet hit'.

You can play after winning from memory.

I just realized that I forgot to check whether barbu posted in this thread.
I forgot what this thread was about, so I think I'll just play this funny Civ2 game where someone has been trying to win it for the last ten years. Did anyone hear anything about that, by the way?

I'll think twice before posting something about Sid Meier's Civilization on CivDuelZone again.

You think before you post something here? I guess, you are the only one then...
Posting before thinking is heavily encouraged here.

Clicking on links decreases my ability to spam so i don't bother.
What did we discuss?!
I see indications that we've been active on this forum for too long. http://straland.com/images/smilies/think.gif
Why is this in off-topic btw?

Because it was not intended to be a spam thread. And only spam is our topic here.

I always put the subforums down as guidelines especially seeing as we have so few new posts and I'm pretty sure everyone just clicks 'new posts.'

I like to click on that. [thumbsup]

There's no subforum for Civ2 and I didn't want to post it in a Civ4 or Civ5 subsforum. I'm not a stupid as I look. ;)
I wouldn't fancy putting it in the subs forum either, a battleship might sneek in! ;)
Shabbaman
22-06-2012, 15:52
I doubt the subs are scared of a battleship. Destroyers on the other hand...

Civ2 might count into "Other Other games". If no airship bombs it that is.

I stayed in a 5 star hotel once. Quite nice, actually.
By the way, did anyone ever notice that this Lycerius guy played the game at Warlord level? [:0)]

Warlord should be easy? I don't remember. I think Deity was the hardest.

"Warlord", its got "war" in it, therefor it must be war-ish, no? :p

Maybe he is a n00b ?? :confused:
Oh yeah? Well? Try and do it yourself! Phuh!

That was implied by the answer.
On a related note, I feel offended to be named a civ2 n00b by someone who wasn't even born when I was already virtually pillaging the english landscape.

At least you pillaged the English. Penalty shootout with them is even more cruel.

Not a civ2 n00b just a general n00b. Also, I was playing civ2 when it came out you'd probably have one up on me for civ1.

Anyone here who has not played Civ1 with 4 floppy disks is a n00b.

Ok, well, sorry for threadjacking, but I finished this game as the GOTM 136 at the other site. See my spoiler report. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=11615676&postcount=20)

That's pretty cool. Coincidentally I recently heard something similar. Someone has been playing this one game for 10 years now, reaching the year 3991 AD.
You don't know how much effort it took to keep myself from posting this on that other site.
