Great shots!

Anyone have any idea why the corruption in the "city screen" is so high. 564 gold out of 1105 going to corruption, and in a democracy. Phew!

i dont know, weird huh?

From the map, the Romans are spread across half the globe, which means few cities are close to the capital, and if the Forbidden Palace was built early (and can't be rebuilt elsewhere? ) corruption would be high, though again, that does seem inordinately high. Maybe corruption is also higher in conquered cities until they get assimilated?

PC.IGN
Sadly the editor doesn't support old scenarios made with Civ II but, given the additions to the game, that's not a huge criticism

Sorry to all the scenario guys, looks like you're at square one again.

I like! I want!

The screenshot "simple menus" has:
regular (3/3) pikeman 1.3.1/1

I gather 1.3.1 is adm. And one of the first 3's is hitpoints. Whats that other mess?

I tried, but the Newscript page seems to be down .

How can you buy cities in Civ 2?? Maybee your thinking of Ctp2?

Easy, take a spy to a city and then you can get them to join your civ through monetary conquest (stirring up a riot).

Presumably "propaganda" has the same effect.

Firaxis Dan said that they're just army icons. The flag holder is not an actual unit, as much as showing the map that it's an army, not just a single unit.

The Screen of the Week on Civ3.com showed an army on Friday
