I have search for the bug but have not found it yet. But I have a
workaround that you can use to get past that point. With this patch I can
create new games and play without problems. I just started a new game
and played for a couple of minutes. Search one hut and created two
new cities,
But it's still dead slow. So if you could take a look at 8-bit DIB's or
whatever that civ2 uses I would be very happy.
Here is that hack that is ONLY for civ2 and that destroys other programs:
