YOUR FIRST CIVILIZATION ADVANCE
We’ll go back to exploring the world in a moment. For now, something more interesting has
happened. At the start of this turn, your scientists announce that they have discovered the
secret of Bronze Working. Congratulations! You have discovered your first civilization
advance. After the initial message of discovery, the CIVILOPEDIA appears. The CIVILOPEDIA is
an on-line encyclopedia of game facts. The CIVILOPEDIA screen that appears after the
discovery of each advance shows the units, improvements, and Wonders you can now
build as a result of the advance, as well as new lines of research available. Bronze Working
allows you to build Phalanx units and the Colossus Wonder, and allows you to research
Currency. Bronze Working also allows you to research Iron Working, but only after you have
researched Warrior Code. Close the CIVILOPEDIA screen by clicking the EXIT button.
Once again the list of research choices appears, allowing you to choose the next
advance you want to discover. Since Bronze Working has provided the ability to build a
good defensive unit, you can now move on to a research path that enhances your
exploration capability. Choose Horseback Riding from the menu, and click OK.
CHANGING PRODUCTION
Before you do anything else, its time to look inside the city again. Open Washington’s CITY
DISPLAY by clicking the city’s icon on the map. When you look at the PRODUCTION BOX, you’ll
notice that the city has automatically begun to build another Warriors unit. In fact, a city
goes on producing unit upon unit until it receives orders to the contrary.
Since the city is still defenseless, you need to build a unit to protect Washington from
possible invaders. A Phalanx is a better defensive unit than Warriors, so that is what you
should build. Click the CHANGE button above the PRODUCTION BOX. When you do so, a menu
listing the possible production options appears. Choose Phalanx by clicking on it. Click
OK to exit the PRODUCTION menu. The Phalanx’s icon now appears above the PRODUCTION BOX
to indicate that the city is now building a Phalanx. Click EXIT to close the CITY DISPLAY.
FINDING A MINOR TRIBE
Remember your Warriors unit? It’s flashing again, indicating that it is once again ready to
move. Move the Warriors one square to the west by pressing the
4
key on the numeric
keypad. Note that, as the unit moves, any unexplored (black) terrain within one square of
the unit is revealed. Press
e
to end the turn.
When the unit starts flashing again (indicating that it is the next turn) move it one square
to the southwest by pressing the
1
key on the numeric keypad. Now here’s something
interesting! Your exploration has revealed a “hut,” one square to the southwest of the Warriors’
present position. This hut is home to a minor tribe. Minor tribes are not rival civilizations;
rather, they are small villages populated with people who might be inclined to help you.
