Well, hello. I'm a newbie to both forum and game, but thanks to this site, I'm learning a lot more about the game. I'd write more, but I'm also at work, and need to be somewhere else.

Wecome to CFC, Ceaserhall. It's amazing that CivII still has new players. Although it can get competitive, the Game Of The Month (GOTM) welcomes newbies and you can learn a lot from the discussion forums and spoilers. There are a few threads written especially for new players too.

thank you. I'm not quite ready to replace my coal burning macintosh with something newer, so Civ2 is about as advanced as I can play now. (in my house, I'm working on capitalization right now--nyuk, nyuk.)
someday soon though....

Welcome aboard, yeah it is strange to have new players of Civ II. I just got back online after a nearly 4 year break without the internet or a PC. A friend of mine happened to be selling off some old PC games and what did he have? Civ II. I'm finding it a bit hard to get back into, and the sad thing was I used to prefer that one to Civ 3 back in the day.

I still prefer CivII to CivIII.
CivIV is markedly better, though.
But CivII is one of the greatestest games. Ever. Cheers for hopping onboard.

Welcome, I'm also still amazed at how successful CivII. It's cool how such an old game with poor graphics is very popular, while some more modern games are struggling to hold their own in the video game world.

The "tips and tricks" linked above is probably the best single resource, but to really understand some of it, you have to understand some of the basics of the game and game mechanics. You might also want to look at This one. It is fairly long and unstructured, but it basically covered the evolution of a newbie player into a capable civ player and covers a ton of questions she had as she learned the game over time. Not everything may apply to you but it covers a ton of ground.

The two threads Tim recommended are not "exploits", but intended to show you what can be done with the tools available in the game. Its like a chess manual, teaching you how to get the most out of your units.
