Here's my problem, er... ok, *one* of my problems...
My skill at Civ II is far beneath that of many of the regular posters around here. You can find me somewhere between 'mere mortal' and 'pond scum' in the Who's Who of Civ II players (does such a thing exist?)
My usual play style is a quasi-ICS start out to anywhere between 5-10 cities (or more, depending on the availability of good city sites). After that, I tend towards a perfectionist strategy, continuing to found new cities at a slower rate at premium sites (3-4 specials ) or sites of strategic importance.
Anyway, to make a long story short... too late
I have been experimenting wth the SSC concept and it does pretty well for me except for one regard. The importance of establishing all three trade routes from the SSC early has been heavily emphasized in postings here on Apolyton, but I seem to be lucky to know where only 1-2 AI civs are located until much later in the game. What methods of early game exploration do you use to allow you to find cities that demand the SSC's production?
Thanks,
Bob
