- CIVILIZATION HINTS
-
- Here are some tips for the game Civilization by MicroProse:
-
- * At the start of the game try to capture other cities because they will
- be very weak
-
- *Start irrigating very quickly so you can have a large civilization
- early on.
-
- *Put your science funding level up to 70-90% for a few turns so that you
- can learn how to build city walls, granaries, and catapults
-
- *Protect your cities so that they can't be taken from you.Most of the time
- if your city is captured, the people who captured it will learn 1
- discovery unless they have all your discoveries already
-
- *If you want to change the type of goverment do it early on, that way
- less people can become unhappy
-
- *Don't forget that all of the wonders of the world help you in some way
-
- *If you wait 1 turn before buying a city improvement, army unit, boat,
- or world wonder it will be less than half price
-
- *Even if your type of goverment doesn't let you cancel a peace treaty you
- can still capture a city by inciting a revolt (as long as it's not the
- capital city).
-
- *The profit from a caravan goes directly into your $ fund
-
- *Build ships early on to explore
-
- *If a stronger military unit is advancing towards your unit,fortify your
- unit. Its defense will be 50% higher
