An old DAD playing old games!
I've played video games as long as i can remember. Played hard core CS/CZ, Americas Army, WoW, SWTOR, amongst other titles.
Somewhere in time the universe gave me IRL and had to stop my streams for over 10 years. Alas I'm back with some oldies to get it stared again!

Allways loved more the CIV1 rather CIV2 ... the major JUMP was on CIV3 !!! I still play it today like the first time :)
Hello, hello! Civ III will come right next to a CIV II hard mode win! Let's see if we can do it. Have a Great one.
You are founding too few cities, and they are too far apart. Think more in terms of how many cities can be placed on that territory, rather than how to avoid territory overlap. At this moment you should had colonized the entire continent. Also, consider the attack and defense strengths of the units. The catapult attacks with a strength of 6, but defends with only 1. If you stack a phalanx with a catapult, it attacks with a strength of 6 but defends with 2. The catapult can take advantage of roads to approach and attack on the same turn. Moving a catapult next to an enemy unit or city and ending the turn is suicidal.
Hello, hello! I was trying not to overlap city tiles. It's that the wrong way to go? should I build with some overlapping between them? Have a great one!
I see what you're saying. If you attack with an offensive unit, it'll do 6 damage, but it is only 1 at defensive. Maybe it's best to walk around with a load of defence units that just stand off to counter.
@@angrodisilra The cities will not overlap until late in the game. The value of tiles late in the game is nothing compared to all the production lost for having less cities. If you move a settler one more tile, you lose one more turn. If you make one less city you lose a lot of gold, units and other stuff, for most of the entire game. If you still want to reduce overlapping, consider founding cities separated by two diagonals, and they will only overlap on 2 tiles, which most probably will not use before the game ends. If you really want to give that tiles to one city, you can do it manually, and having an extra city starved of tiles doesn't hurts.
I think the Greeks will tare us a new one eventually. If we cannot contain them, we will start a new one and build closer cities! tvm ^_^
@angrodisilra Closer together cities is probably safer. You only really need 2 more cities to fill the gaps between cities and hold back some armed forces as defence. Where Forum Livii is located and Athens is where you need to build cities to close the gap. The Closer your cities are to Athens, the faster you can get your units there, the easier it'll be to overwhelm the Greeks.
Really great episode. Watch out that another civilization don't try landing in between the two small start-up cities on the bay. Just make sure that's locked down. The Greeks you got to early, there's a push back, but I don't think they have anything left other than their capital Athens. It'll take a few more attempts to weaken them, but they are just surrounding their own city to defend. It looks like you aren't winning, but whilst they're busy building more offensive units, they're falling behind in building structures and they're also probably paying to get the units out quickly.
Hello, hello! I fear the Greeks are strong with the force... They are giving me bad vibes, we will see ^_^. Have a great one!
@angrodisilra The Greeks are the least of your worries. The other civilizations have been quiet so far. You need to take Athens quickly before the Americans arrive.
It doesn't matter about the high council, it's random animations anyway and they all contradict each other anyway. Just remember that Athens was right next to another island and you kept creating battle units and moving them away from the city, leaving it completely exposed. You used your only defensive unit to try and take a Settler; that was not clever as Phalanx is terrible at attacking, I saw that coming a miles away. Your safest city is Corinth, because it sit's in-between everything. When I build cities, I just throw in an attacking unit and defensive and never (under any circumstance) move them. If I want to attack I create more units, the attack/defence unit inside the city don't exist to me as playing units, they just defend. It seems like the French want revenge from Civilization 1.
Hello, hello! The French are strong, but the Mongols are also a pain. In the end Democracy screwed us good lol. Have a great one!
I found a patch for this game for free, it's called 'Civ2X64Patcher', it completely resolves the problems and runs extremely well. Just Google it, run the application and then it fixes everything.
The health bars on the units make it easier to see how much health they have left, which is useful. I really like the look of this game, the irrigation is less time consuming and it's much closer zoomed in, so you can see everything more clearly. A much better start this time, considering you're slowly moving forward with caution. I notice that there's a really narrow part of where France and Greece separate; keep that Elephant there and surround that area, so that you can peacefully build another city. The only way they can get to you then is by forcing their way through or sailing across. Stack a load of Archers behind the elephant if possible, formation of x3 just holding the line behind. Just guard that area between you and France and then they can't slow your progress down.
Hello, hello. I do love the health bar mechanic. The Frensh are strong with the force O_o ... Will sort the performance issues asap. Have a great one! ^_^
The economy grows exponentially (like compound interest), so the best strategy is to start producing benefits as early as possible. Do not found early cities too far apart, because you'll lose productive turns, and ultimately end up founding fewer cities. One city is worth more than one square for another city. The cities will not compete for territory until the late game, so distancing cities does not provide benefits at the start, but wasting turns causes a loss of a lot of early production. For the same reason, it is not worthwhile to spend turns enhancing a tile before founding the city. Also, it is worthwhile to stack the settlers so that improvements start producing early. Also, consider sending the settlers to the same city initially, so that city becomes stronger earlier and can support other cities. There is a patch to fix problems on 64 bit PC.
Hello, hello! Thank you! We will try to set some good road systems and work our way to France... If we can sort the performance issues. I'll search and install that 64bit patch! Have a great one! ^_^
Bros pc cant handle that, fps dropping
Hello, hello! So true my PC cant handle it! Help a bro out and smash that like button, share and subscribe! Have a great one!
It was a good test run to see how the game works. In Civilization 2 you won't be able to leave your cities exposed. Expansion needs to be done cautiously, taking a few units along with the Settler to build further up the map. Founding a city right next to your opponents isn't always sensible. I figured out a great strategy the other day. Once you've created a few cities with a bit of space surrounding, create a few weaker start up units and block the opponents from crossing onto your area without breaking a treaty on both sides. If the map is narrow in certain places then it's easier to block to path.
Hello, hello! We are still struggling with performance issues. I think my PC might not handle CIV 2. Let us see! Have a great one!
@angrodisilra Civilization 2 is an old Dos game, though. It doesn't make sense that your PC is struggling to play a game from the early 90's that run on a Windows 4.1/Windows 95 system.
Hello, hello, these old 32bit games are a pain to setup in 64bit OS. I'm using DOSBOX for DOS games and DXWND for windows oldies. CIV 2 is a pain to set up because every menu is a separate window from the main game. Said that I think we will manage a full Hard mode! Have a great one! ^_^
10:39 That's an ideal location to establish an isthmus city. By connecting two oceans, such a city enables ship passage and allows for effective defense; with just half the fleet, both oceans can be protected. Additionally, it's also possible to found cities connected tucching along a diagonal, allowing boats to cross the land. If overpowered, vessels can evade pursuit by escaping to the other ocean or through the canal-city. Isthmus also block enemies on land, allowing to deny them territories. You can also stack settlers on the same square, to finish the job faster, so it starts producing earlier.
Hello, hello! The French are a pain in my tushy... hare and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Well, that's complete in full. I was hoping for a final battle between Romans and the French, Well done completing it on hard mode. Worst 2 empires were the Zulus and the Egyptians, because they were around a long time, but they made no impact. The British and Americans were obviously at war with each other at the same time you was against the Chinese. By the time you reached the British, they were already being taken by the Americans, which helped you as they were both distracted.
Hello, hello! Agreed, the Zulus and the Egyptians got stuck on far away islands. The British and the Americans nuked so many of our units. We lost 150+! Civ 2 is giving so many technical issues, we might have a skip and jump to CIV 3 hard mode. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!

Aahh from which game is the music? I played it so so much and I can’t remember the name. Please tell me so I can go back to sleep.

Nice game
Hello, hello! thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the content. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Please make 2 endings for this game. One game where you beat the French and one where you launch the rockets. That way you have completed both parts of the game. I don't mean from the start, but load that game and create another save file separate, that way you'll be able to play the last part of your existing game twice.
Hello, hello! We will do it! We will capture the last French city when we arrive at Alpha Centauri! Have a great one!
Looks like I'll be watching your content again. Your Civilization 1 content was really good, I reckon this will be even better with the slight graphics upgrade.....highly recommend to new viewers.
Hello hello! We are having some performance issues with the game. It is too laggy. I'll try to fix them asap ^_^ Have a great one!
Put a diplomat into Rouen to check how much the AI cheat. For the lol's.
Hello, hello, I will. pretty sure the AI does some serious cheating! Have a great one!
Great episode again. There's not much push back from the other remaining Civilizations.....France should've moved a settler to that tiny island you just discovered and built a city to give them a hope. I think you fought mostly against the British. This series of games is fun to play/watch every time, it's not like a Playstation/X-Box game and it gives you more chance to talk, because the games are strategy time based, so you can just talk freely without it ruining your game progress and because you play the games on tough modes, it gives the subscriber or viewer the fun knowing your journey won't be easy; makes it just as fun to see you lose sometimes, same as when people watch Formula 1 or Nascar racing and they go to see the crashes, but ultimately we still want to see you win.
Agreed! The British put out great resistance even when they lost London. Democracy was the game changer. We will see in CIV 2 if we can win as well! Have a great one!
40:37 Rebase an unit should be the menu Orders>Home City. The manual I found says: Menu Orders Home City: The name of the city that is supporting the unit and normally the city where it was built. You may transfer a unit to another city by moving it there and pressing the Home City key (the H key on the IBM). This may be useful when one of your cities is threatened with capture because all units supported by a captured city are destroyed.
Hey there! I think my Civ 1 version does not have this option :( I'll try the hot key though, thank you so much ^_^
Were you trying to change the home city of a unit? I think that's H when the unit is selected.
Hey there! I'll try the hot key though, thank you so much ^_^ have a great one!
Egyptions only ever had 11 Phalanx, haha. You have to lose a lot of units to gain ground on the map, so 84 Knights being destroyed in battle over thousands of years of battling isn't bad. Your enemy's still don't have Armour/Mech units, so easy victory.
I think after we beat the English and the Americans it was game over for the game's AI. The French and the Zulus got stuck in small islands.
@@angrodisilraI thought that the French region of the map would extend more. It was surprising how small the whole island was, although quite far to travel to. I'd really like to see gameplay for Civ 2, but with a slightly bigger map. I sit through your content at about 10pm-11pm (UK time) getting high and I actually look forward to watching every 2 nights.
I have keys for Civ 2, Alpha Centauri and Colonization. I can try a Deity run on Civ 2. Which one would you like to see next?
@@angrodisilra There's 3 Civilisation II games, it's basically extremely similar to Civ 1, except it's far more graphically pleasing. The other 2 you mentioned are actually using the new square block moving system. I think it's called 'Civilization II Multiplayer Gold' and it's gone down as 1 of the top rated franchise games. My personal favourite is Civilization 3 as it's the first one that is aesthetically pleasing and keeps parts of the original concept, but starts using hexagon shapes as moving grids, but isn't overall that complicated, but keeps the cartoon style, but more sal shaded looking units. If you did a Civilization VII stream (once released), you may pick a few hundred new subscribers as that's the game that people really want to see, looks like a movie in the trailers; crazy!
I'll do an CIV 2 Deity run next ^_^. I've just checked CIV 6 specs... I'll need a new PC for that! We will see by FEB25.
You pronounce 'Bomber' like 'Bommer', it's a silent 'B'.
Not the weirdest pronunciation by a long shot (irigation, Orleans, Reading). Some northern UK accents (Yorkshire) pronounce the second b in bomber. Where are you from @angodisilra?
I feel I have a "Borat" like accent, not the best indeed hehe!
Hello Boldra. even though my Grandnana was an American Citizen, I was born and raised in Portugal. We have weird accents all over the country ^_^
The United Kingdom (British), your accent is cool, works well.with commentary, to me you sound English/German or maybe American/German.@Boldra
@@angrodisilraPortugal is an amazing country, I'd live there tomorrow if I could or Spain/Italy.
Caesarea is trying to build Shakespeares Theatre and you already built it so it will never finish.
Thank you @Boldra, will sort it! Thank you so much for your support, have a great one!
8:37 Stop building libraries. You already got all the technologies. Sell the libraries and universities, to get money and more production.
Good idea, I didn't think of that, no use for a Library if you already know it all.
Hello there, future tech will give us good score at endgame ^_^ we are getting lots of cash now. Thank you so much for your support, have a great one!
Last episode soon, the Egyptions are so weak, what have they been doing over 1000 years and still only have Phalanx. Beating the Chinese early was key to this point. Getting Shangai was the main turning point.
We are almost at the end indeed. I think the Egyptions had no luck with that small island. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!

@olliepriddey1161 thank you so much! I love CIV like games, I used to play these hours with no end when I was a kid. I think Alpha Centauri is next.

if you're going to buy units, buy the equivalent size building instead, then switch it to the unit. Is cheaper.

Basically each unit has 100% health to start with, but when you attack you also take a percentage damage (even when you win). Your Armours can take about 3 hits off a weaker opponent, especially if they attack you. Armours are attacking units and as for your Transport fought about 3-4 times before losing. I wasn't surprised when the Transport lost; it was extremely useful when you needed to dispose of those units around the Armour. You've got this game completely under control now with 1 island to discover.....probably the French extended. Great content :-)
I see, nice to learn the actual mechanics of the game (after 30 years lol). Thank you so very much. <3
@@angrodisilraIt's not the exact mechanics, but if you was able to use a life gage, you could see, like in a shooting game when you get shot and a percentage of your health would disappear, represented in a health bar. I just think the health bar is there, you're just not able to see it as it's hidden. I'd say Civilisation 3 has a more complicated structure of character battles, so it works differently where your units become stronger from winning battles, but each unit takes a few turns to recover their health back to full.
No, that's not how it works in Civ 1. Fights are individually determined on attack strength vs defense strength, with modifiers for terrain/fortification/veteran status/game level to come up with a percentage victory for each. Then a random roll on d100 for the percentage. In this way it means that any unit can beat any other on a given day. Put simply, a Battleship can lose to Phalanx even though the raw strength is 18 to 2, in other words 9 to 1. If the game rolls a 1, the Phalanx wins. Now if the Battleship is a recruit status vs. a Veteran Phalanx, fortified, behind city walls, on a hill, you've got 18 vs (2*1.5*1.5*1.5*2), very roughly 12. 18 vs 12, so 60% vs 40%. And that's not even on Emperor, where there's more modifiers for the comp. In fact there's more behind-the scenes math, where the game multiplies strengths by 8 and rounds, so this is only a basic example. It's best to consider the phalanx in modern times to be a poorly trained and supplied infantry rather than a guy with a pointy stick. There is no HP system in Civ 1.
@eseholmes4592 It would make no sense if all units were equal in defence or attack. Why make some units more expensive to buy or with more or less turns till the unit is created. Like I said in a previous video, I think it works based on strength vs attack. So, each unit has an attack/defensive counter and depending upon what enemy unit attacks you, is what makes the math different. So, a Phalanx could have 200 defence, whilst an armoured vehicle (Armour units) would be like 300 defence, but the Armour attack would be like 450-500, because the attack is better than it's defence. If all units were equal and using a randomised invisible dice counters then people playing the game would keep creating the weaker units, because from your method, you think that everything is equal in strength and that's so far from the truth, the game would be unplayable if ALL units were the same. Coding wise, this game was before it's time, extremely well made game engine.
@@olliepriddey1161 Hmm. No, I'm definitely not saying units are equal in attack or defense. I'm just saying here is no HP stat in Civ 1. For example, attack for a Battleship is 18. Defense for a Phalanx is 2. So if there's no other modifiers, your could say your win percentage for the Battleship is 18/20 = 90% regardless of how many times the Battleship has fought previously. But, if you give the Phalanx the highest modifiers (fortified, city walls or fort, Vet status, mountain), the victory percentages become much, much closer to the point where a Phalanx might win 40% of the time. The more complicated version is that in the coding, what happens is that game does some more math, and makes rolls for both the attacker and the defender, based off their individual strengths. Battleship rolls d18 (between 1 and 18). Phalanx rolls d2 (between 1 and 2). Just like in Risk, ties go to the defender.
You probably had a few battles with the Armour up until you fought the Calvary unit, that's probably why it lost, because it was already low on health.
Low on health? I did not know this mechanic. Do units have to "rest"? How Can I counter this? Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
@angrodisilra Obviously there's a health bar mechanic per unit. Do you really think you can target every city or unit without a hidden health bar per character/unit? The stronger units are still able to die to weaker opponents. If all lower ranked units died instantly to the stronger units then it'd be over and unbeatable. It makes more sense to create a defense/offensive attack and defence ratio. So, for example the Calvery are better at attacking successfully, where as the Phalanx and Musketeers are far greater at defending cities etc. At one point your Armours got attacked by the Egyptions, because you surrounded their city with 3 of the units. Over the next 4 turns the auto-bot (controlling the Egyption army) tried taking out your 3 Armours, it took them about 4-5 attempts, showing that you held position for so long, but they just kept targeting you and you had them fortified and not attacking the city. Armours are great at attacking, but probably weaker in defence.
when you get the "can't-access-the-city' bug, you need to empty the city of units and then return one back to the city to clear the problem. If you simply move a unit into the city before taking all of the units out, you will reconquer the city and not clear the bug.
It works! thank you so much!
Yes, a long stream....appreciate :-)
Hello there, how long do you prefer the streams to be? I can do longer ones when lilangro is off to bed and I'm free from my DAD stuff.
@@angrodisilra It's just because your intro and outro takes up about 5-10 minutes, so if your content is 20 minutes long, in reality it's only 10 minutes of actual content. Watching length for me to be fulfilled would be like 30 minutes of actual gameplay. This Episode 9 was really good, quite a lot happened.
You need veteran units. Build barracks before you build more combat units.
Are not the barracks obsolete with the Gunpowder Teck? If not, I'll build them again! Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
@@angrodisilra I think you can rebuild them again after they go obsolete.
Don't you need to garrison more units in cities allow you to avoid corruption? Im not sure if it help but 1 workable 'shield' out of 7 is insane
I'm losing more units faster that I can build them atm. 60+ knights so far O_o' Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Instead of disbanding unhappy unts, rebase then in another, larger city.
how can I do that @Miparwo? Cant find the keyboard key for rebase.
@@angrodisilra A google search said that you should move the unit to a new city, and press alt+R
I'll do it ! ^_^
With only 1 unit defending your cities and the American's creating cities right next to yours, that's why you need to create lots of outside units to defend. Building things is great, but is it necessary when you're under attack and you saw how they crept up on you, they made it look easy.
I think this run will improve with the change to Democracy. Lets see. I do need to build huge amount of units. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
It just makes sense to just place a fair few defensive/offensive units in and around your cities; it makes other journeymen think. Look also at the number on each city in the US part, they have like 10-12 as their units are stacked, it's why you keep losing when attacking, they have more than 1 unit defending. @angrodisilra
You need to steal the automobile technology from them, to make your own armors.
Will do. The Americans are nuking every unit we throw at them. We have Democracy now, maybe research will be faster and we can get armors and artillery ^_^. Have a great one!
You could build cannons and you’re still making cavalry? Towns won’t grow past level ten without an aqueduct. Yay luxuries!
I am overwhelmed by the amount of knights I've lost lol. Will build some Armors as soon as I have the Automobile. Have a great one!
You need to flood your half of the map with loads of soldiers and then move in. Their cities are too advanced to be taken by 5-6 units.
I lost so many units already, its insane. Hard mode is really hard O_o Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
@angrodisilra When I've played Civ 1 before I've always stockpiled units around my bases and built city walls. Why not just build crazy amounts of units and move the Americans back in a line; at the very least build more to defend your cities.
I will do it! ^_^ Stay tuned! Have a great one
One tactic that works in all Civilization games is to make a feint attack with weak units on a distant city on the same continent. The AI sends its units to defend, and then you launch the real attack on the opposite side, preferably targeting the largest/more valuable city.
I think the AI is cheating big time on hard mode O_o. Have a great one!
Its fixed @Miparwo Thank you so very much! <3 Have a great one
Oh my game! The memories!
We are doing hard mode (Emperor)! It really feels the game is cheating all the time... Subscribe, share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
You don’t have enough resources because your low luxury rate means you have to keep taking workers off the map. You want the luxury rate high enough to have as little entertainers as possible.
How can I keep the people happy with no riots? I find it really hard :( Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
At 2:28 where you change the production cue: all of the resources under the blue box are lost and wasted. You were one turn away from a knight and threw it away for one turn for a cavalry which is half as strong. Whoops.
I'm so dumb lol. Won't do it again I promise! Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
I played this a lot and would never play on hardest difficulty because it’s so unfair lol. I also save scummed before battles because of how much the ai cheats.
It really feels the game is cheating so hard... Sometimes I want to RAGE quit lol. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Oh wow, the first Civ. Have ypu played it in the past or was that a generation before you?
Civilization was released in 1991, I was 11 years old and I played hundreds of hours of it. It is still a great fun game! Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Dover is over :-)
Dover stood for so many turns and then got wiped so fast... Civ hard mode is insane! Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
Great content. I've been following your Civilization game, it keeps me amused every time.
Glad you are enjoying my hard mode run. CIV always gets one's knickers in a twist ^_^ I love it. Share and hit the bell, it really helps the channel out! Have a great one!
