9/29/2017 2:06:00 PM - Victor Ward deener - Build the Colossus as quickly as you can, trade is the key to getting the tax / science balance right. Build caravans and send them to foreign cities, capitals if possible for increased trade. Caravans can also be used to build Wonders in your own cites faster, if you can stockpile caravans for later use.
7/13/2017 5:14:00 AM - deneer ya i did that too. dropped tax rate to zero. great library. and libraries. but by the time AD rolls around...my tax rate is so high like at 60percent and up to maintain all the costs with a despotism govt. but when i switch to republic...i get all these errors that i can't maintain military units and they end up getting disbanded and then corruption in the city begins. what am i doing wrong...?
7/13/2017 4:06:00 AM - John for fast knowledge.before you found your first city on the first turn, drop your tax rate to zero
7/10/2017 10:27:00 PM - deneer what is the key to acquiring knowledge as fast as possible.build great library and libraries in every city isn't enough

6/14/2013 7:41:00 AM - George Hi Chris, All works fine for me even with Google chrome. Is it possible that you have some advanced internet security on or something similar ? You can also try different browser if this problem is related to Chrome only or to your whole system.
6/13/2013 8:47:00 PM - Chris I'm stumped. I'm using Google Chrome, and I have ClickOnce for Chrome, but when I click Play Now!(ClickOnce), The Emulator starts up, but then tells me that I can't run the Emulator independantly. I can only close, or go to this site. Help please!

1/18/2012 4:35:00 PM - I've been plying your Civ1 for the last few hours on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium. Beautiful! But I can't get the right-click to work on the advances menu. Never mind that small point, because I expect I can get the advances detail from the wiki, where I've given the Civ1 article a link to this page. Great work, F.G.E.
1/18/2012 8:27:00 AM - Robin Patterson Civilization II has been very well imitated by Freeciv, and there is a newer similar game also available free: C-evo. Read about all Civ-type games on Civilization.wikia.com.
