EDIT VICTORY CONDITIONS itself contains multiple options:

• The first, TOGGLE USE OBJECTIVE VICTORY FLAG, must be set to ‘1’; otherwise,

the game ignores the rest of these settings. Essentially, the objective victory

flag tells Civilization II to completely ignore the usual scoring

conventions. Rather, all that counts is the taking of the pre-set objectives in

the scenario. Using the EDIT CITY option on the CHEAT menu, you can make

any city a scenario objective.

• Toggle Count Wonders as Objectives determines whether or not captured

Wonders of the World also count toward the objective score.

• Next, you decide which civilization will be the protagonist; this is not the

player’s civilization. This setting only determines which civilization is used

as the benchmark for the four final settings.

• These last four allow you to set conditions for the types of outcome possible

in an objective scenario. For each, enter the number of objectives that the

protagonist civilization must control (that is, have conquered or kept) at the

end of the game in order to accomplish that level of victory or defeat. Other

civilizations are automatically assigned the corresponding outcome. For

example, if the Romans as protagonists achieve a Marginal Defeat, all other

groups win a Marginal Victory.

EDIT SPECIAL RULES also contains a few sub-options, each of which is fairly

straightforward. You can prevent any civilization from ever changing its form of

government, make it impossible to obtain advances by taking over enemy cities,

and remove the spectre of pollution from the game. One caveat is necessary;

you should NEVER use the last option—SPECIAL WWII-ONLY AI. This was put in as an

aid for the game designers and will almost certainly cause your scenario

to crash.
