Whole point is to rush (incrementaly) buy the settlers in right time so you have to wait only one turn before your city grows in size again. If you like,go to cheat mode and test this with different city size,count the grain etc.
Me? No thanks. I like to play Civ2.My life, my rules -
Wait, you don't want to tweak every single little detail in your favor so that you can be the ultimate king of civ? You don't spend hours trying to figure out the best strategies for being #1? you like actually playing the game the way it was designed to?Whole point is to rush (incrementaly) buy the settlers in right time so you have to wait only one turn before your city grows in size again.

and what is the advantage of this buying settlers in this fashion...GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71Comment

THere is none. Only morons do it. You might buy yourself a turn or two max. But it screws other things up that I'm not going to go into. Better off to just maximize your proudction if you want to build settlers fast rather than buy them.Comment

The advatage is what eyes just said, it buys you a turn or two. But all in all, if you can micromanage your cities well enough, then there is no need to level buy a settler. Save the gold for something better I say."Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?"

lol Of course. How else would I be able to expand so fast. You make up for the trade by having so many cities.Comment

Hmmm - If it is not a benefit to rush-build settlers in order to get a new city established faster (clearly an important advantage), then that suggests that having gold for other purposes is of some considerable importance.
For what purpose is the gold being accumulated, I wonder? Is it to rush-build *other* units? To buy barracks? To avoid being bribed? Does it's mere existence have some effect on the other aspects of the game?Civ2 Demo Game #1 City-Planner, President, Historian

I don't know about all of that... I use my gold for a lot of things.. usually I will partially rush build a settler about 2 rows full then make production in that city at least 7 shields so the settler pops out in 3 turns... I don't think I ever fully rush build anything, instead it just micromanage my shields along with the partial buying of units to get lots of cities to build quicker rather than just one"Why should I fear death?
