I have only been around these Forums for a while, but I have not seen these tips for Civ2: ("Square" = Hexes, lozenges, quadrilaterals, whatever)
1. When possible, site your cities in Forest squares. You will two extra shields to start off with. A head start!
2. When possible, have your settler/engineer Irrigate at least one adjacent square to your new city. It will get more food and grow faster from the git-go
3. With Engineers, if they are going two squares to end up in a square to irrigate at the end of a turn, consider putting a Road in the intervening square.You will get your Irrigation/Farmland in the same time, and get a free Road.
If you already know these, thanks for reading, anyway
