If you’re already familiar with Civilization in one of its previous incarnations —
the Macintosh version, the DOS version, the Windows version, or the multi-
player version — there are a lot of features that are familiar. However, that
familiarity can lead you into some pitfalls, because the game has evolved
and grown, so that this new version is substantially different. Take a few
moments to peruse this section for a summary of the changes you
can expect.
CIVILIZATION’S NEW LOOK
As Civilization has matured as a game, the quality of graphics has also matured.
Civilization II has high resolution graphics now, scaleable fonts and windows, and whole
new units and improvements. Settlers units are no longer represented by those old,
familiar covered wagon icons. But more is new than simply different pictures.
