You don't have Civ II?? Why that's Sacelreligious not to have Civ II the best Civ in the entire series. How could you not have Civ II? ;)
CIV2 is only good until you get to the point where you have airplanes. Once you have to route EVERY SINGLE airplane back to the base, after having to route EVERY SNGLE airplane to the target, hex by hex, never entering a hex with another unit, and then inadvertently hitting the same key one too many times resulting in losing that airplane, it's the worst Civ ever! The actors in the game, were definitely very good though. That game is worth keeping just to see the reaction of the actors to various situations.
I guess a lot of people were winning before airplanes came out, but my game focused on total war at that stage (when I played as the Germans anyway). I think a lot of people just remember the actors and forget, or never got to the airplane stage. I know I had forgotten about the airplane extreme tedium that last time I played it, and then I vowed, never again will I play that game with any hope of really playing it to win. It will be there only for checking the actor reactions once they have grown dim in my mind. Maybe I will even try to become as early game power, but I cannot see my real reason for playing, that is destroying all the rival civs, could possibly be completed by the time planes came about. Of course, if the game works like civ4 in one respect, and i cannot say if it does or not, I could make the research timeline right around the time of planes, and/or elsewise taking that tech completely out of the game.
As old as that game is, I'm pretty sure it worked just fine on my XP without any adjustments like putting the shortcut into the W98 mode.
