AI civs may start using nukes before you use them. It's more likely when you (sneak) attack them and you don't have your own nukes.

If you have SDI Defense built in a city, 3 square radius around that city is protected against nuclear missilles. It always worked for me. Check if the SDI defense is in the attacked city. You don't need SAM battery against nuclear missilles. SDI Defense does not work against spy's 'plant...

It's impossible this way. The city number is likely coded as 1 byte (8 bit) number which can store values in 0-255 range. It must be changed to 2-byte or 4-byte to allow higher numbes. This is nearly impossible to do unless you have the source code.

Year increments depend on difficulty and map size. Are they same in both games?

(civ2.42 classic, emperor level) What it the tax/luxeries/science rate when you start? It should be 4.0.6 (40% tax, 60% science). With this rate if your first city has any trade arrows (it normally has), you should discover the first advance in 10 (or less) turns on emperor normal sized map...

I run civ2.42 with themes on (XP Home SP1), maybe themes are disabled for my civ2.exe. You can disable themes for individual (dos or win3.1) .exe files under properties/compatibility. I'm not sure if it works. I can't check it now. This is another PC without any MS Windows or civ.

thank you, I will try it. cruise missile civilopedia is incorrect too, uses data of transport. Some other facts about get_info.exe: - it is quite large - it uses C:\windows\a3wdata directory for temporary files which causes crash when you don't have write access for this...
