just a few things that annoy me.......

i purchased civ 2 for 10 dollars last december and i have to say it's one my fav games for the computer. anyway, i hate it how every time you tell a unit to go to a certin place they stop going there if they see 1 little thing. also when i attomate my settlers/engineers they cant seem to find anything to do and just go in circles when another place could use their sevices. i hope they fix this in civ 3.

Man, don't use the automated settler for anything except cheating....

Well, it's not really cheating. All's fair in civ.

And I've heard the GoTo option is going to be greatly enhanced in Civ 3.

I never automate anything, or use the goto function. If they improve it in Civ 3 then I might be inclined to do so.

Yes, it'll cut hours off of my gaming time.

There should definitely at least be an option, stop units on autogo when they see an enemy, that you can turn on and off. The formers (worker units) in Alpha Centauri already were improved at automating, but also tended to go all the way across the continent where close formers could get much more quickly...hopefully this will improve even more in CivIII.
