Mr. Impaler are you implying that you had a never lose strategy for Civ2? Sorry, I don't believe you unless you played the easiest prince level. The MGE patch made the game much more challenging, and you needed near perfect play to beat the AI on hardest level. Comparing Civ2 to EU2 on historical accuracy is wrong. Civ2s tech tree is much more historically accurate. For instance researching gunpowder as opposed to war in laces? I've never heard this term before EU2, switching to democratic government as opposed to researching central government? Now look what you've made me do, trash one of my most favorite games naughty naughty. Say what you want I won't hear any of it, I'm not listening. Both games are excellent period.
