To start: • If you want to see and hear the uninstalled video and multimedia portions of the game, make sure that the Civilization II CD-ROM is in its drive. (Note that, if you did not install the Recommended files, there will be no sound effects regardless of whether the CD is in the drive. There will be some music.) • If it is not already running, start Windows. • Now simply double-click on the Civilization II icon (or click Civ2 on the Windows 95 Start Menu) to start the game.

This gives you complete control over the technological status of every civilization in the game, including yours. One by one, you can select then give or take away advances. Use the GIVE/TAKE ALL button to bestow every advance there is, except for Future Tech. Click on it again to ruthlessly strip them all away! Note, however, that some technologies (IRRIGATION, for one) are known by all civilizations at the dawn of time; you cannot take these away. a Title/TS/TOC 6/8/00 4:48 PM Page 2 A TERRAIN button has been added to the CHANGE TERRAIN AT CURSOR option.
