Just here, sharing the things I like: Archeology, Astronomy, D&D, RPGs, History, Webtoons, Photography, Waterfalls, and more. Offline, writing Romantasy novels for an audience of one (my granddaughter).
![Players build a civilization from a primitive tribe, competing with rival computer- or human (in some editions)-controlled civilizations. They manage cities and units in a quest to assure their civilization's dominance—either by conquering all other civilizations or by manufacturing advanced space technology.
Civilization II was a commercial hit, with sales of around three million units by 2001, and has won numerous awards and placements on "best games of all time" lists.
Most importantly, Civilization II supports mods that customize game graphics or mechanics. "Scenarios" are preset game files that emulate historical, fictional or other situations.
There were two expansion packs that slowly added more features to the game. The first, Conflicts in Civilization, included 20 new scenarios: 12 created by the makers of the game,[12] and eight "Best of the Net" by fans. It also added an enhanced macro language for scenario scripting with advanced programming features such as variable typing and network features, which was considered widely unnecessary.
The second expansion was Civ II: Fantastic Worlds.[a] It also added new scenarios that had many unique settings such as one scenario dealing with colonization of Mars, and one scenario called Midgard that had Elven, Goblin, Merman, and other civilizations from fantasy. There are also some scenarios based on other MicroProse games such as X-COM, Master of Orion and Master of Magic "Jr." scenarios. Fantastic Worlds also contains a new scenario editor that allowed users to edit the statistics and icons used for units, city improvements, terrain, and technologies, as well as creating event triggers and other enhancements to the game.
That ability to change the dynamics of the game gave it near-Infinite replayability. Downloads available online. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c5zv3agj6ssvd5rvr5xokwav/bafkreigwjrt4l2rm74dpdz67hlhhzu54ir45qw6772rl66vwkygsyg23ka)
