I played a large number of multiplayer games on a LAN and found that for three players or fewer you rarely find yourself watching the timer and waiting for your turn. Somewhat surprisingly, this works out pretty well. Any changes you make won't take effect until later, however, because in your empire things only really happen on your turn. While you wait you can tinker with production, plan your research efforts, and/or raise and lower your taxes. When you play a game of multiplayer Civ2, you will take turns in fullest sense: there will be a period of time when you are not able to move your units because you are waiting for the other players to move theirs. Two years later it's still an excellent bargain.įar and away most important thing to note about the Civ2 Gold Multiplayer edition is that it is still very much a turn-based game.

I'll try to focus on the multiplayer aspects, since Civ2 Gold in single-player mode is essentially still just a very clean and very complete version of the strategy game that GDR's strategy editor Tim Chown once called "the best PC strategy game that money can buy".

Loyal Civ2 fans need not worry, however - in addition to the full single-player game and both expansion packs, Civ2 Gold contains a very stable and playable multiplayer component. Having heard plenty of words like "ugly" and "fiasco" (and several not fit for a family publication) used to describe the original CivNet multiplayer adaptation, I was a little concerned when I popped open my copy of Civilization 2 Multiplayer Gold. In the end, though, there are no real losers in this comparison - it's a great blessing to strategy gamers everywhere (and perhaps a big problem for their employers and spouses) that both of these games hold up so very well. While this is supposed to be a review of Civ2 Gold and not a preview or review of Alpha Centauri, I'll warn you right now that I don't think I'll be able to discuss Civ2 Gold without mentioning the game that many people think of as "Civilization 3". Having just wrapped up involvement with the Alpha Centauri beta program only a week or so before receiving my copy of Civ2 Gold for this review, I found it impossible not to compare the two in great detail. Microprose has recently released Civ2 Multiplayer Gold, a multiplayer version of the classic game that made Brian a widely-recognized name in the gaming industry, and it's likely that by the time you read this we'll be seeing the full retail release of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, a "Brian Reynolds Design" that picks up where Civilization 2 left off. And yes, GOG, I would buy Civilization II in an instant on release day, no matter the price.There is no doubt that this is a fantastic time for Brian Reynolds fans.

These four guys and one woman are just legendary and I wish they would have had them included in the later games of the series as well. And by the way, I truly miss the world wonder videos from the game, as well as my crowd of video advisors for military, science, trade, diplomacy and people’s happiness. And I would be therefore very happy if GOG could get its hands on this outstanding classic. Would I buy and play it when it comes out on GOG, even if I already own Civilization IV with all of its addons in its original disc form and as a digital copy from GOG? Indeed, I would. I grew up with Civilization II and although it has its flaws, compared to Civilization IV, it is still a timeless classic and there is obviously a good reason for the fact that most Civilization players still consider Civilization II as the best game of the entire series, at least from what I have heard many years ago. In my opinion only Civilization IV is superior to Civilization II. I am also very surprised about the fact that Civilization III and IV are on GOG, but Civilization II is not.
