I love Civ2! Civ3 to me was a disappointment. They managed to make it incredibly annoying.

LoA, I agree completely. You have to micromanage everything, to where the peasants are laboring in the fields, the placement of your troops, pirate raids on your trade routes, everything. Civ II leaves you free to look over the big (really big!) picture. I think that it is a real blast.

Heya peeps.

Still feeling like shnot and my sore throat has progressed to a full blown cold Left work early and went down for an afternoon nap as I felt completely knackered.
Just about to cook up some chicken cordon bleu, a side dish of pasta and a cup of Lemsip and back to bed I think.

Morning, all. Kaltia, sorry that you had to go back to school, but, heck, we all had to and I assure you that it will get better after you graduate. "Put down the banana and step slowly away from it." LOL.

Morning All! Well apparently, whatever broke is now fixed and I can once again access IW from work. I really need to find out what causes that.
