Civ II Link Index Page

Duke of Marlbrough · May 30, 2004, 09:45 AM

This thread will serve as a reference to the many excellent threads that have been written about Civ II.

Please give the link for any thread, at CFC or elsewhere, that you think would be handy for other players to be able to reference.

I'll update the first post as links are added.

Since Search is not consistantly on for posters, if you know of a thread, but cannot find it, post what you remember of it (the topic, poster who made it, etc) and I'll try and find it.

If any of these links contain items that need to be updated, post so in the thread and I can edit the necessary information into the first post (if needed).

Here's a start:
Common Civ2 Terms: What do they all mean?

The Power Democracy Consolidated: the Essential Starlifter ...

Thoughts on Trade

GOTM Techniques, Cheats, Rules & Discussion Thread

List of tricks and cheats

Inciting Revolt/Subverting City

Specialist290 · May 30, 2004, 03:42 PM

Here's a few.

One on resources/specials:
Patterns of Huts and Specials

A couple on governments (including Demo/Commie/Fundy debates):
whats so great about communism?
Srew Democracy
Governments
Presidential Strategy: Civilization II + History
The best government?

One on nukes--their uses and pitfalls:
Do you use nuclear missiles in CivII?

Starlifter's "pollution page":
Pollution Explanation (by request from Supernaut)

I might be able to find a few more when I have a little more time. I have all night later...

Paul references a "one page OCC strategy reference table" but the link doesn't work. Does anyone have an updated link?
Thanks.

Sorry, it got truncated some how..... Fixed.

Slowthinker gave me this one for Diplomats and Spies earlier. It's excellent in learning their abilities and gives a quick chart for comparison between the two:

I just had to add this one.

Wikipedia Article on Civ2

Specialist290 · Oct 09, 2004, 09:51 AM

Might be useful--the archive of the entire Strategy and Tips Forum (all 787 threads!)

Hate to be a bother ... but this link is dead.

ElephantU · Jan 12, 2005, 08:57 AM

Hmmm - gone back to the link before:

Specialist290 · May 28, 2005, 09:09 AM

Don't know how this one got missed:

Grand Tech Plan

Specialist290 · Oct 28, 2006, 07:44 AM

Something I just now noticed: Both links to Paul's OCC Guide seem to be broken. Anyone know of any alternative sites that could be used?

ElephantU · Oct 28, 2006, 09:22 PM

I've got a copy of it, and I've tried emailing Paul for permission to reuse it but he seems to have disappeared. If you know how to get in touch with him please ask him if he will restore it or give us permission; I'm going to put it up here soon with a request for his approval.

Ali Ardavan · Oct 29, 2006, 07:33 AM

ElephnatU, once something is public domain it stays that way. All you need to do is to make sure it is clear who the author is.

Steve-Nightrain · Oct 30, 2006, 09:15 PM

Hi Elephant, I'm new here,
you're right, the link to both Paul's site is dead, please post it again along with his name for credit like Ali said, thanks
