[@spaceanimai5046]

More Civ 2 content for Christmas, we must have been good this year

[@P_Luke_12345]

I played Civ II 1998 - 2004 A LOT. Amazing game.

[@jomorim]

The memories are strong with this one.

[@MaxHardcore-p7t]

I started playing civ 1 back in 1992-1993.

[@emilsoderman3691]

So many of those stock sound effects are burned into my brain.

[@GamerZakh]

90s sound effects went way too hard in games lol

[@chrislyne377]

I'm certain they took a part of the sword-fighting sound effect from the Black Knight fight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail

@@chrislyne377 i know sone of them showed up in a random school documentary about the french rev.

[@vonhapen1]

I think that "G"-function (go-to city) works right of the box originally. They thought of some quality of life functions right away back then. Great service pointing out that mod, thank you very much. 👍

I never even considered Civ2. I had to see what it looks like. A co-worker gave me a copy of Civ4 because he was angry at the changes from Civ3. Sound familiar? Gamers. Gamers never change. Signed up for Patreon, thx for the special deal. Happy 2025!

[@GamerZakh]

@@scientistforscience Hey thank you so much for the support, that's so kind of you. Civ 2 is simpler, and some mechanics are weird because the 90s, but I find it the best of the 'simple' first 3 games. Civ 3 is weirdly complicated but still old, takes a lot of learning, and Civ 4 onwards is the 'modern' age of Civ where game design was much more figured out. Happy new year!

[@chrislyne377]

Best Civ. End of comment.

[@Nyst2]

This Civ2 remaster gives me hope that one day soon we might see an Alpha Centauri remaster too.

[@koator]

Damn this is the best Civilitation

[@RogelioV1985]

Yoooo! Civ 2! With working music and video advisors! Just like old times! GOG gotta team up to make it happen! I totally would repurchase this game!

[@GamerZakh]

@@RogelioV1985 I think there are licensing issues. Microprose sold off a lot of things back in the day. From what I can tell, even Hasbro might own some of Civ 2. Since no one company owns it all, GOG can't get permission to sell it.

[@Darkwizzrobe]

"Alien invasion" " Apocalypse" oh yeah the soundtrack from those scenarios; haven't seen them since the 90s don't think any youtuber uploaded them either.

[@dyingbreedRTS]

Alpha Centauri next?

[@Cenot4ph]

this game is so overlooked, one of the best civ games imo

[@brinaldi81]

Ooo yeah!!

[@belovedwarrior3192]

It's fascinating seeing where Civilization is now or will be when 7 comes out compared to where it came from. What was the first Civilization game like? Is there a video of that game?

[@GamerZakh]

I have some Civ 1 videos yeah. It plays kind of like a slightly worse Civ 2 and it has simpler graphics, but the fundamentals are pretty similar.

[@ivantumanov1015]

"Yes, it's running in windows 10, natively" finally, it's fixed, just in time for windows 10 to die next year and we'll all be forced to use windows 11 and all the open source games will break again :(

[@WojDestroyer]

how microsoft will FORCE u to use their damn win11? I won't be forced coz I know how to block all updates LMAO

[@mikelake1306]

I miss the map editor and text files of Civ2 gold. Back with Civ2 and SMAC, you didn't have to be a coder to mod.

[@paulwallis7586]

Some of us know how to play this game. Nostalgia be damned. This was a far better game than the fizzy RTS you see now. Those cities are extremely underdeveloped, by the way. This version of Civ 2 is pre Test of Time. Civ 2 Test of Time was far more advanced, far less clunky and more playable than any of the subsequent games. I fought off an alien invasion of my home world, did many nuclear wars, and much more. The later games are pretty lame and incredibly slow by comparison. Just bring Civ 2 back to its best and you'll get a lot of happy gamers.,

[@simonl4657]

some of this stuff is already in freeciv for a long time now

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah I've tried it, but I like the Civ 2 vibes and that's the primary reason I go back to Civ 2.

[@alextorres5490]

modt of my civ cant play due to end turn based it been nice to remastered civ 2

[@Inucroft]

I only really got into Civ with Civ4 (I mean, just look at the insanity of the mod scene. Especially with Cave2Cosmos mod) But, it is always fun to watch gameplay of the older Civs

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah Civ 4 has some rough spots really fixed up with mods. The BAT mod I installed made the UI so much easier to understand for me who hadn't played it in like 15 years.

[@marct8160]

I don't want to be rude but that game look like shit and terrible to play.
