Civilization 2, Europa, Celtic Empire

Civilization 2, Europa, Celtic Empire
By Jacob Malewitz

I always like playing King difficulty in Civilization 2, which is the first Civilization game in my book. The second is far superior in difficulty, strategy, depth, graphics, and board. I played Europe map, I played as the Celts and was in Brittania, a good spot, I saw a a French enemy on the map, and I knew I had to win on ship, win on island, and try to beat the French. This would be similar to the French and English wars across the 1600s and 1700s.





I built 4 cities in England. This was obvious point: England would need navy, colonies, and army.

I wanted to control England. I wanted to conquer France. I knew the French were not the enemy. I had to explore. I won on a lot of villages: villages won me cities, gold, and technology.

The French have legion. I have Elephant. I have Monarchy. I have Chariot Attack. I failed to attack cities. I also tried to attack with horse. I won barbarian cities and was able to beat barbarians: in this entire game, barbarians were never a problem. This is much like a game review: you need to cite things in a sequence.

I was curious about the Russian map. I was curious about the peninsulass of Greece and Italy. I thought I could find Scandinavia, but found that Greece and italy were unhabited.  There were Japanese in Scandinavia. In Early BC, I was still the #1 on the board. The French were not that strong. I was trying to win with Ship. The English, or the island of England, was always good with ship. I was able to conquer some of Italy, Spain, North Africa, Norway, and Greece by using Settlers.

I built cities in France, Norway, Spain, Italy, and Greece. My first real move was to win cities in North African, and did. These cities allowed me to build moree cities in Italy, to make new points, and to win game on score.


The Game was a win after that. I strategize insanely. There would have been a point of victory, but I play the game so much that I know when to stop playing.

I could not beat the French. The Japanese started winning. There were no real losses. I can call this a Chess Win, a Go loss. The Game of Chess is designed to win for a player; the game of Go likes losses.

You can get in pay on Chess. You can get in pay on Go. You can get in pay on Civilization. I was offered Cigarettes for some reason, and kept winning on coffee.

What is the win? I stopped playing after this. The Earth map is very fun to play, but for some reason I cannot win yet on Earth maps in Civilization 4. That is my next recommendation: to play Civilization 4. You must keep your original disc, get an old pc, and play the original game. I say it pays off things. I say you can master Civ 2 and Civ 4, but it must take some skill.
