New Addition to the War Academy

[Thunderfall]

Alan Nicoll's <a href="http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2howplay1.shtml">How I Play Civ2</a> is the most comprehensive Civilization II strategy article I have seen.

Not only does it contain detailed strategy against the AI, there are also TONS of excellent advice for winning multiplayer games against human players. Compared to Marc Fisher's Fire! - Making War in Civilization II (also an excellent article), How I play Civ2 takes a more practical approach, while Fire! emphasizes more on conceptual and philosophical aspects of the game. I strongly recommend this article to both newbies and veterans of the game.

Geez, I almost feel sorry for this guy.

 

[Alan_Nicoll]

Eyes is never at a loss for something to contribute.

Quite a comprehensive article. Great job!

 

[Alan_Nicoll]

Glad you liked it, but it's still full of errors, alas. I'm working on a revision.

Shouldn't this be in Civ2 - General Discussions or Site Feedback

Yes, there are some errors, but in terms of errors per volume, it is a fine work. And with the work you obviously took to write it, leaping right in and listing mostly minor errors just does not seem appropriate.

Even professional books, such as the Sid Meier's Guide to Civilization II have lots errors, so don't worry.

I just reread for the third time. Its a lot to take in all at once.

It has some great ideas that a lot of people are asking about. They should read it a little at a time. Someone just starting probably won't understand all the ins and outs of it right away, but if they play and use it as reference they can figure a lot of stuff out quickly.

Then they can adapt their strategy to their own preference.

Great job Alan!

This unworthy slave is astonished at all the kind words expressed by these esteemed experts for this unworthy slave's feeble and despicable efforts.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Very well. And for such a display of barely adequate grovelling and prostration, the unworthy slave shall be spared certain execution, and given the reward of one groat.

Good job, me like it.
