Chieftain
I play civ 2 all the time and i am quite aggressive while playing, naturally i developed a strategy...
1) always start by choosing the first tech, which should be warrior code for military like players.
2) after that tech be sure to follow what will get you new troops, such as iron working (bronze before that) so you could get the Legion, which is good for going up against phalanx, later on you will have access to knights, which are better than legions in the fact that they can get their fast.
3) but if you are going to use knights be sure that your enemy doesnt have Pikemen, they can take out horsemen and knights VERY easily.
4) when you are going up against an enemy with superior tech, be sure to attack with a lot of troops, a warrior cant take a musket man but 12 warriors can.
5) be sure to keep the best of the best defending your cities, dont leave warriors fortified when you have a marine. Also the game suggests 2 troops as defense, i suggest 3-- you never know when someone will mount an invasion bigger than D day itself.
6) once someone builds the manhattan project you may be screwed, if you are behind and dont have rocketry you better take some diplomats and steal it because it just might save your game.
7) dont be afraid of war, it gets you lots of cities and normally they beg for peace after you take just 1 city.
8) be smart with production, if you are playing as chieftain click on something that has 2 turn to complete, then buy it, then change the production that has the next lowest turns and but it, then go to the tank which should now have 3 or 4 turns left on it and buy it (which makes it cost around 200 instead of 600)
9) never feel discouraged, if you see them preparing for war dont be oblivious you prepare the same way they are--then YOU attack first!
10) If you need advice contact me and i will help!
cry HAVOC and let loose the dogs of war!
