The Complete Civilization II Combat Guide

[Thunderfall]

Marquis de Sodaq (a.k.a. Sodak) has compiled a very complete document detailing every aspects of combat in Civilization II. This document clearly shows that although the combat model of Civ2 appears to be very simple, there are lots of things going on below the surface. You'll have a thorough understanding of the combat system in Civ2 after reading the guide. It is a very worthy addition to the War Academy.

This will be very beneficial for the scenario designer.

about false statements 3b-in mp games,units do fortify immediately,so what you are looking for is the small fortress icon at the feet of the particular unit.When you see that,the unit is fortified.

Very good overview!!! A unit is also fully healed when it enters to conquer a city! Very useful against partizans etc.

Those damn barbarians! 1.5+ on deity????I knew something was funny when that horseman massacred my veteran pikeman!

Excellent!

Thanks! I hope all the scenario creators (unless they jump to Civ3) can make use of it - and all players can make sense of their game, too. Speaking of Civ3, perhaps I ought to put the civlab techs to work to figure out the new system's juicy details...

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Yes, it would be nice to have all the Civ 3 info before I started sneak attacking left and right...

As long as you always build towns on hills the double power of barbarains is not a problem. Hills is the best place to build since a hill gives the town square 2food 3 sheilds.

Hills are good, rivers are better.
Trade and defense.

Just one guy's opinion.
