Civ2, and not as much as I'd like to play lately.

III sucked goat nads.

Civ II

wtf is Civ?

[Karensmith]

SMAC. I believe it came out around april 1999. Or at least that's when I first started posting. first over at alpha.owo. They mentioned this Apolyton place over there. Some said it sucked, others said it was pretty cool. I started posting real infrequent at first (under the user name Krushala), but now...

I surfed the Civ2 section a few times but I didn't bother to sign up until CTP came out. CTP 2 brought me back but then I got bored of civ and drifted into the OT.

[Koayrbzh]

CTP sucked but CTP2 was actually a great game. You had to play it in MP since the AI sucked so bad but it was very stable so you could easily play 6-8 people on MP and it was very fun. To bad the infinite builds bug screwed everything up.

Civ2 MP. I used to love playing that game. I don't play it anymore, I know I'm shallow but I just can't get past the outdated graphics.

[shihoodiacarf]

This is probably going to be pretty skewed on the OT.

SMAC, and I don't play it, although I really should.

I joined Apolyton in 1998 as Yisuro but as I lost interest in Civ2 I stopped coming here. Then I became interested again but couldn't remember my ID (or the password, perhaps). So I registered again as Anatolia. Then I changed my ID to Masuro a couple of years ago.
I don't play Civ2 or Civ3 anymore. Mostly I play Civ4 PBEM and I'm looking forward to getting Warlords when I get back home.
Wow, I've been here for eight years . . . .

Civ3. Still play Conquests in a very interesting situation.

Why did people who played Civ2 have more of a sense of community than fans of later games? They stuck with it for years after it was obsolete, made hundreds of web sites, and generally interacted with each other far more than the fans of later versions. Is it the game? The generation? What? I think your analysis is wrong. There's a strong Civ3-based community at some other sites (like CivFanatics, or MasterZen Online, an offshoot of 'Poly). And Civ4 has a strong on-topic community as well.

I think the main reason the results are so skewed in favour of Civ2 is because of the OT's specificities, not because of the games themselves. Apolyton was first formed on Civ2, and the pillars of the community have been here for a very long time. It resulted in an OT that is very much the result of a specific group, with its specific etiquette and so on. It is difficult for a new poster to feel at ease in the OT, and IMO this is why most OT-minded Civ3ers preferred to found their own community (at MZO), rather than barging in the OT.

Civ2 - but I didn't stop lurking until Civ3 was imminent.

[Catieliecutty]

Lurked for Civ II. Civ III got me to registar. Civ III also brought me to OT. Now I'm stuck.

[Thorwaywhobia]

Many don't know it now, but there were Civ 2 MP and SP leagues here. Berzerker's avatar was our MP Tribe's coat of arms/flag.

Ol' Elvis.

Civ3 ... now onto Civ4

EvC first brought me to poly, like a beacon
