Dissapointing
Hi, I am new to gaming and i have to say that this book is poor quality and was rushed. It has added nothing to my understanding of the game. It has no index to find anything. It misses so many bugs, Bradygames should get an update for it, it is so bad.

With the skill of adequate manual writing falling, strategy guides are icreasingly important. CTP 2 owners are fortunate that two veteran and literate gamers have had a chance to dissect the game to give us insights.Basic city building concepts are not only explained clearly but the math behind them is provided. Units and wonders are described in depth while being put in historical context. Strategies are laid out in a way that explains but not condescends. Hints and tips are useful if the player is really in a bind. The multi-player section explains more about logging in and using cheats rather than giving strategies. Given the nature of human opponents, this weakness is unavoidable. Some readers might say the contents can be picked up for free on the 'Net. Perhaps but it would take some time and much printing and gathering of print-outs to get this information in one place, not to mention organized. Spend the money and save time.
