It's possible to play Civ 2: Test of Time on Mac using PlayOnMac even on macOS 10.15 Catalina: So far everything works except for the movies (they play audio but just have a black square where the video would be). One tricky part is that the installer crashed for me so I actually had to install...

I am not 100% on this but I think that hammers don't overflow either into or out of world wonders, but they do overflow with regular units and buildings. Hopefully someone can confirm this for me.

For some types of city states it makes sense. Eg when dealing with faith, you could imagine that the city state has a spectacular temple. Anyone that is friends they let come in for tours (giving some faith) but their ally get a VIP tour or a position on the church board or something else...

Does anyone know how the 10% additional culture cost stacks? Eg: * Next policy costs 1,000 culture and I only have my capital (1 total city). * I add a new city, now the cost is 1,100 and I have 2 total cities. * I add another new city. Is the cost now 1,200 or 1,210? So is it 10% of my base...

You are right that the math comes out worse when you already have other multipliers involved. All in all, I agree that the windmill seems well below the power curve and could probably use a modest buff. In my current game I'm playing fairly wide. I rushed the windmill in my cap because I am...

Assume that you haven't yet purchased universities in all of your reasonable-sized cities, or that you have just unlocked building public schools. Assume also that you had a DOF with a civ but do not yet have a research agreement. Do you prioritise rush-buying the uni / public school or do...

The consensus seems to be that they aren't worth building all the time, they mostly useful for their specialist slot, but there are so many more things that are worth building / rushing before them. One interesting piece of math is that the 10% building bonus pays off after constructing...

This times a thousand! I do that all the time and then move some worker or unit when I intended to move the great person.

When (if ever) do you build windmills? They cost twice as many hammers as a workshop and their 10% bonus only applies to buildings (which you could have built instead of the windmill).
