From patch.txt that came with version 2.42 patch:


Customizing autobuild
---------------------
You may customize the domestic advisor's city improvement
picks for the autobuild if you wish. Create a file in your
Civilization II directory called CITYPREF.TXT. The first line
should be:

@AUTOBUILD

Each succeeding line contains the name of a city improvement in
the order you want to build them. You don't have to list every
city improvement, but each improvement must be spelled -exactly-
as it is in RULES.TXT. (For foreign language versions, use the
exact spelling from RULES.FRE or RULES.GER as appropriate.)
Your domestic advisor will then choose improvements from this
list provided that technology is available and the city is
otherwise eligible to build them. If nothing on list is available,
the advisor resorts to his normal algorithm.

The military advisor will make his picks as usual. However, you
can order him never to build "defensive" type units by inserting
the line @NODEFEND at the beginning or end of the CITYPREF.TXT
file (don't put it between the @AUTOBUILD line and the list of
improvements).

An example file is below:

@NODEFEND
@AUTOBUILD
Temple
Marketplace
Library

The file is reread every time you click the "AUTO" button on the
"What shall we build?" menu. If you wish, you can alter your
priorities over the course of a game without reloading.
