I'm new to civ2--never played civI, but I have spent some time in the past few weeks with civ2 (got Multi-player Gold, for $7.00 off Wal-Mart clearance shelf). I won at Warlord level a couple of times, so I "graduated" to internet scenarios (i.e. ww2pac, wwiijap, etc.), but I cannot seem to find the answer to transporting my aircraft from U.S. west coast to Hawaii, Australia, etc.
It looks as if I can load them on transports, but I have not, as yet, been successful (I keep "running out of gas" and losing my planes). I have no problem loading to carriers, but how do you get them to Australia, etc., otherwise? Do the fighters have the range? Is there a secret that I am not aware of? There are several other 'nitnoid' questions that seem to always come up, but are never covered by the "pull downs" and "tech trees."
Second question: Is there a written set of rules? Is everything learned by trial and error? I have exhausted all of the "pull down" menus learning about terrain, improvements, advances, etc. But, where are the rules governing the manipulation of units, etc.? I can read! If I knew where the manual library is, I could study, myself. There was no study manual with my game.
