- -- Civ2 Patch version 1.09 --
-
- * Patch 1.08 smart settlers can infinite-loop if they are blocked by zones
- of control. That's fixed in this patch.
-
- * Attitude advisor: cities w/ sufficient happiness to put them into
- We Love the King day are shown in White.
-
-
- -- Civ2 Patch version 1.08 --
-
- * Okay, you asked for it, you got it: Smart (or at least Automated) Settlers.
- Issue the "K" or "Automate Settlers" order to your settlers or engineers,
- and they will behave (for better or for worse) exactly as if the AI were
- controlling them, although they will not build cities. You can cancel
- the automate order the same way you cancel any order--by clicking on the
- unit and/or selecting it on the unit popup.
-
- * For those who don't like the white grid around your city radius in Grid
- mode, I've provided ICONSB.GIF, which is a version of ICONS.GIF w/o the
- white grid sprite. If you'd prefer to run without the white grid, just
- copy ICONSB.GIF over top of ICONS.GIF.
-
- * If you'd prefer for "Zoom to City" to be your default action on city
- reports, you can now select this option by unchecking the "Zoom is
- NOT default" option at the bottom of the City Report Options screen.
-
- * The foreign minister report (F3) now contains color-coding information
- about each king.
-
- * When caravan is used to add-to-wonder, a report on how many shields
- are still required is given.
-
- * The maximum effective science rate for Fundamentalism (hardcoded to 50%
- in previous patch) can now be user-configured in the rules.txt file
- (bottom of Cosmic Principles) for those who wish to work around this.
-
- * Some problems involving the autobuild have been fixed.
-
- * A few earlier fixes which didn't make it into the foreign language
- versions have been included in this patch.

- -- Civ2 Patch version 1.07 --
-
- * AEGIS Cruisers will defend their stacks against missile and air attacks
- as they should. Before, the AEGIS ability was often overlooked when
- determining which was the "best" defender for a stack.
-
- * When the Grid (CTRL-G) mode is active, the city radius of each of your
- cities will be shown in white. (This in response to your persistent
- demands!) :-)
-
- * Population will no longer "loop around to zero".
-
- * Under Fundamentalism, any science rate above 50% will have no
- additional effect on research. Below 50%, research still
- continues at half effectiveness.
-
- * At some difficulty levels (e.g. Prince), users were occasionally
- experiencing weird time-shifts (e.g. from A.D. 1 back to 1920 B.C.).
- This should no longer occur.
-
- * Slight changes in ship AI to try to prevent wave after wave of suicide
- attacks against a city with a coastal fortress.
-
- * Counterespionage has been fixed (previously it was less effective
- than intended).
-
- * AI will use slightly more discretion in approaching cities w/ attacking
- units.
-
- * Corrected problems associated w/ replacing CD during the game.
-
- * Opportunity to poison water supply is not offered for cities of size 1.
-
- * Defense strength of fighters, stealth fighters, stealth bombers slightly
- increased.
-
- * Attack strength of cruise missile changed to 18.
-
- * Problem where new units were created with "NONE" as home after a large
- number of cities had been built has been corrected.
-
- * Problem with plundering negative amounts of gold has been fixed.
-
- * Problem where Win95 machines w/ 32bit Indeo/VfW drivers installed showed
- heralds "frozen in place" has been corrected.
-

-
- * OOPS! Patch 1.04 broke the AI. This fixes it. Sorry!
-
-
- -- Civ2 Patch version 1.05 --
-
- * The "Winning" animation is no longer displayed when another civilization
- wins the space race (!)
-
- * Double clicking on unexplored territory no longer brings up the
- Civilopedia.
-
- * User created units will no longer play the wrong sound in addition
- to the CUSTOMx.WAV sound.
-
- * When giving a unit to another civilization causes a technology leap,
- the technology given is no longer stuck on "Alphabet".
-

-
-

- connected to their machines.

- going to the Civilopedia (or when a new advance discovered) has
- been corrected.
-
- * Month-by-month turns now work correctly for scenarios set in B.C.
- (This is important for the Alexander the Great scenario).
-
- * Wonders of the World movies are now shown only when -you- build
- wonders (not when opponents build them). The Wonder Movie cheat
- has been improved, however, so you can view any wonder movie
- you want: hold down shift key while selecting "Wonders of the World"
- from the Civilopedia menu.
-
- * "Accelerated Startup" algorithm has enhanced to correct some
- problems (2 cities in same square on some preset maps!) and
- improve some features.
-
- * Effects of Food Supplies trade routes are now displayed properly on
- the city information screen (formerly they worked properly but were
- not being displayed).
-
- * Some problems with user-defined techs (where it was not recognizing
- that user-defined techs had been discovered) have been corrected.
-
- * Language preference is now saved in the CIV.INI file; after you run once
- with this patch, you will no longer be asked every game which language
- you want.
-
- * "Endless drumbeat" problem has been corrected.
-
- * The Colossus now affects sea squares as well as land squares.
-
- * The "Auto" feature can no longer be used to circumvent the 50% penalty
- for production changes (sorry).
