Civilization 2 came out a long, long time ago. Like, 1996. So why is it coming up here, now? Because someone has been playing the same match for 10 years, and it’s a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
A ten-year game has divided the world into three warring, 1984ish nations that constantly nuke each other – so many times that the polar ice caps have melted 20 times (!!!) and the world is a swampy mess. Engineers rebuild roads so tanks can drive to their own deaths. It’s really quite bleak. Something should also be said for a 10-year game – the longest I ever played was 27 hours (straight!).
I downloaded the save file and actually played it – it is pretty nightmarish. You’ll get nuked every few turns. Word of advice – switch your government.
In the grim darkness of the 4th millennium, there is only war…
