Earlier this week, Reddit user Lycerius posted a fascinating tale about a single Civ II game he's been playing off and on for years. It's 3991 AD and just three civilizations scratch out a living amidst a "hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation" where the polar ice caps have melted more than 20 times due to global warming, "dozens of nuclear wars have rendered vast swaths of the world uninhabitable wastelands," and endless warfare makes it impossible to even begin rebuilding the poisoned lands around the remaining isolated and crippled cities.

Amazing.

Sounds like a very accurate simulation.

One of my favorite games of all time ... probably the best Civ version too.

The player was just lazy and couldn't think of a solution that would win his game. That scenario was resolved within a day of releasing the savegames.

 

Good story to tell, not so much a simulation.
