This books adds no useful information to the instruction manual that comes with the game. There isn't even an index! At least the instruction manual has that. It does not contain any useful hints other than the obvious from a few times at play. Don't waste your money on this book, you're better off depending on the civilopedia.

I admit it. I'm addicted to Civilization II. I was hoping to find a book that would provide some insight into how the game's AI plays and maybe some good hints at winning. I was disappointed. The book is essentially a rehash of the instruction manual. I got more insight into the game from reading one of the cheat sites on the Internet.

This book is junk. Trash. An author out to try and make a quick buck from Civ 2 newbies... It contains no strategy, and actually has far LESS info that the Civ 2 game manual! Author uses lots of white space to up the page count. Author also spends a LOT of the book's pages "summarizing" for page after agonizing page the excruciatingly basic stuff that is readily available on the civilopedia and wall chart! This guy should be sent to prison for attempting to hoodwink the public. People like this author make me sick! You have been warned!

This book does not contain a lot of tips and strategies as I had hoped. However, it does take a wealth of game information and reorganize it into a useful reference format. Review of this book put certain features of the game into better perspective so that I can develop my own strategies more effectively.
