The Civilization 2 downloads section contains the great work produced by modders from all other the planet. If you are looking for a Roman conquest scenario or a Lord-of-the-Rings scenario, then you are right here. Please be aware that there are two different versions of Civ2, and the scenarios and other files are not compatible.
Stalwart Civ fans will be satisfied to hear that Civilization 2 is essentially an upgraded variant of the main game. Battle has been straightened out and new units, advances and ponders presented, with the goal that players of the first will have a lot to learn.
In any case, the most clear alter is one of viewpoint — everything in the Civ world is presently totally three-dimensional. Maybe the greatest disillusionment is that organization play will not be incorporated; this is on the grounds that MicroProse are going to dispatch Civnet, an organization play form of the first. In any case, regardless of whether an organization prepared Civ 2 will seem is hazy right now. Cerran -3 points. If it's the 16 bit version of the game, it won't run on a 64 bit system, period thanks Microsoft.
If the civ2xp64patcher file doesn't help, you have a 16 bit program. Good luck. I figured that one out the hard way.

Share your gamer memories, help others to run the game or comment anything you'd like. I've played Civilization II every day for this past month and I still get amazed by the inner complexities of the societies created. I was a moderate fan of the first game, but the attention to the computer's Al is so much better now.
Your actions have deep impact over the cultures you encounter. It should be said you'll need to invest a lot of time into this game, but your patience will be rewarded. Civilization II took strategy gaming by storm earlier this year, and now MicroProse is back with an add-on disc jammed with intriguing new scenarios.
The original Civ II challenged gamers to take on the role ot the ruler of an empire, managing its politics, sciences, and social structure with the ultimate goal of taking over the world. Civ II Scenarios loads you up with 20 new plots, including the Iranian hostage crisis, the American Civil War, a futuristic holocaust and alien invasion, and the rampages of Alexander the Great and Napoleon. Activision has converted the award-winning PC game to the PlayStation platform.
Most of us have devoted hours sitting in front of the PC trying to build up our empire and enticing our subjects to give us a better throne room. But those days were dealt a death blow years ago by real-time strategy games like Warcraft, Starcraft and Age of Empires. After the cities have grown to a reasonable size, it takes what seems like forever for the computer to complete its moves.
I recommend having a book handy so that you can finish a chapter or two before it becomes your turn again. I found the graphical interface extremely clunky. Once a unit was selected, the only way I could get it unselected so that I could move to other areas was to bring up the map view and then dismiss it. It would have been nice if the game didn't make you perform two operations for something that should only take one. The PlayStation paddle comes equipped with enough buttons that this should be uncalled for.
The game also seems to screech with glee each time it thwarts your attempts to move around and view the layout of the enemy cities and troops. Eventually I got so tired of trying to scope out the area that I just moved my troops in the general direction of where I thought I remembered seeing the enemy. The reason Civilization II on the PC became the number one selling game in history was because of the rich choices of civilizations, troops and strategy you have at your fingertips.
The game tests your ability to manage numerous troops. Civilization II does take a whopping 10 blocks of memory per game, which I suppose can be attributed to all the statistics it has to hold. I have a pretty large TV, or at least it felt that way when my brother and I carried it in. But I obviously should have invested in a movie theatre-sized screen if I wanted to play this game. The graphics are too small, the user interface is clunky, and Activision missed a golden opportunity to take the best-selling game of all time to the next level.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it took a while, but Civilization II is finally out. And yes, most of the neat little improvements, bells, and whistles that were promised are in the final version.
However, that may not be as many as you are expecting. While Civ II is indeed a wonderful game, it is important that it be presented as simply the next generation of Civilization , not a radically new product. Microprose has presented it as such, and to coin a phrase, if you liked the original you will love the sequel.
Oh, what's Civilization , you ask? In case you have been in solitary confinement or were raised by wolves, Civ is quite possibly the best game of its genre of all time. In it, you are in charge of the management of a civilization hence the name , deciding how to expand, develop and progress. At first thought, it sounds kind of like history homework. However, if you give it a chance, it really grows on you as millions of Civ addicts undoubtedly know. In fact, I was amazed at the number of sleepless nights I spent trying to develop gunpowder or secure the Arabian peninsula.
In fact, I don't remember ever telling myself "just five more minutes This is where Civ II really delivers. While there may be flaws in its execution, in general buying Civ II for a Civ or SimCity junkie is like passing bootleg around at the local AA meeting. It is quite addictive. Again, this depends on the type of game you like. If you prefer a warm shotgun over an Aegis cruiser or would rather study the finer points of using the BFG than negotiate with Mongol tribes, this game may not be for you.
But then again, it just might. If you have at least a passive interest in simulation, development, strategy, history or the like, I recommend this game. Not only does it give you a varying level of detail through auto-implementation options and difficulty levels, it also leads to a variety of strategies. For instance, do you give tribute to the cocky English in order to secure a peace treaty, or do you instead build better defenses and armies to take back what is rightfully yours?
Even if you do opt for the treaty, do you break it in order to secure a financial gain or will you keep your word in order to keep a clean reputation with other countries?
Microprose added a certain level of detail and realism to negotiation and other areas that were somewhat neglected in the original game. One of the first things I noticed was that when I played as a vicious warlord, taking land and breaking promises, other civilizations soon learned that I was not to be trusted and treated me with disdain.
I guess that was what I was looking for in the first place. If I can play against the computer and treat it like a little kid without getting my fanny whacked for it, I'd rather be deathmatching. Civ II plays well in this sense, providing a wide enough variety of challenges and responses that you won't fall asleep at the wheel -- or at least if you do, you can expect to pay for your mistake in spades.
In short, I think that Civ II combines the strong points of the original Civ with some wonderful improvements in gameplay, making for a comfortable yet refreshing game. The game is fun to play and is not too complicated, especially if you have played Civilization before.
In order to help you acclimate to the changes, the manual carries a good deal of information directed specifically to players of Civilization. If the Civilization II network patch comes out as promised, I am going to be very glad to have gotten this game. If not, I'll still like it a lot. Although I did not do extensive testing a couple of installs, maybe , I found the installation process to be easy and trouble-free. It did not take too long before I was getting my fanny conquered by everyone from Aztecs to Zulus.
The degree to which you may have problems will vary between systems, but I found the setup to be straightforward and smooth. In addition, the in-game customization and setup was very convenient; whenever I thought, "I wish I could change that While this is by no means a multimedia tour de force, I must admit that Civ II is a nice step up from both the original game and other titles in the same vein. Not only do the SVGA graphics add a great deal of fun and ease of use to the game, but also multimedia clips, good unit sounds, and neat abstract graphical details add a lot to an already very playable game.
Units are all detailed and colorful enough to distinguish without any problems, and battles are often fun because of the accompanying sounds, such as roaring elephants and roughriders charging with bugles trumpeting.
In addition, I always looked forward to new technologies because they meant that I could see a video of my latest development. Even if those get annoying, you can turn those down or off. While the graphics are not necessarily a breakthrough, I think that the audio and video included should set a standard for future games. After all, if you have a whole CD, you might as well fill it with something. One thing that all users may not like is the music.
While it is not bad, it is simple MIDI files that are not the richest you have heard, to say the least. However, Microprose gives you the option of specifying which music you want or don't want to hear, or you can just shut it off. All in all, the multimedia aspect of the game is relatively good, especially for a "thinker" kind of game.
There are quite a few, so I'll try to cover the most important ones. If you have played Civilization , imagine Civ II as a remodeled version with the same chassis, but a new engine and a beautiful paint job. First of all, the game is in SVGA, a dramatic improvement over the original. In addition, the map view has changed from a square view to the ever-popular isometric view. Therefore, you now look at terrain from a diagonal angle. In order to distinguish individual squares on the map one of my personal frustrations with the original , the game includes an option that lets you overlay a map grid upon the terrain, thus showing divisions in territory and allowing you to plan cities and prevent overlapping.
Also worthy of mention are the changes in the combat engine. Military units are now more detailed, including defense and firepower strengths, as well as a varying "health" that varies between the two states of "dead" and "living" that existed in the first game. Therefore, if you get in a fight, your unit may win the battle, but be damaged or injured in the conflict. As a result, you need to either rest the unit preferably in a town to recover, or walk it around damaged and take the risk of it getting killed more easily.
In addition, there are greater numbers of units to choose from, giving you more of a varied army. In addition, the areas of diplomacy, research, and management have been improved greatly.
There are more technologies, technological dead-ends have been removed, terrain and cities are more detailed and specific, and diplomacy is more realistic.
I was impressed that finally, other civilizations get pretty miffed if you keep breaking treaties. If you are a tyrant, they will notice and be careful with you, often refusing even to consider a treaty or other such agreement. Since this is something that has been very lacking in games as of late, I think it is important to let game companies know that we still want a manual. Fortunately, Microprose headed us off at the pass with Civ II.
