I haven't heard that name in a very long time.

Tell me, what town did you mainly reside in? I was over in Chiapas with the crazy leftists, one of whom erected a wool statue of himself. We were largely untouched by the HCF invasion, except for when their skirmishes with the World Police got close to our borders.

I offer you this classic, and hope you recognize it: https://youtu.be/BAzsolKHJfc

Yep I remember that like it was yesterday! If I remember correctly, in the Civ 1.0 map I hung out a lot in Haven and in Mt Augusta

Mt Augusta was a little before my time. By the time I got into the server, it honestly felt like one of the most difficult places to get settled into. Crowded, property costs too high, chaotic.

Dirty Ancaps everywhere. </s>

I'm pretty sure it was somewhere between late 1.0 and early 2.0, but I ended up in Carson City for a bit when it was coming online. Where they made a hole in the ocean, and turned into a city. A fun place to hang out and talk shit.

Do you have any 2d world maps of that era?

Sorry can't find any 2d world maps from the time, I'm sure there are plenty on the subreddit if you go looking :-)
