Beginning a game of Civilization II means choosing the circumstances in
which you want to play. Your options include specifying the number and
location (physical starting point) of your opponents and manipulating the
environmental and physical parameters of the world you’ll explore.
YOUR FIRST DECISION
To launch the game, click on the Civilization II icon. After the game has initialized itself,
choose the language in which you’d like text to appear. When you click OK, the opening
animation begins (if you chose to install it). You can wait for it to end or press any key to
cut it short. Setting up a game means making easy decisions on a series of options screens.
At the first of these, you decide whether to start a new game or continue a previous one,
among other things. The full list of options is described below. Once you’ve chosen an
option, you’ll need to click OK to continue.
