I have a couple of questions about Autobuild:
(1) Is it smart enough to skip building what is already present in a city?
(2) What does @NODEFEND actually do? Does it just not build ANY military units?
(3) Can you intersperse military units and city improvements in the city pref file?Any information about Autobuild is appreciated for this (rather) rank newbie. Especially so because I've been playing the #@$#!@%@$ game for anywhere from 4-7 hours after I get home from work. I'm just glad my wife has been working so late recently... or is she having an affair? |

It's been a long time since I used this, but here goes:1. Amazingly enough, yes. Very handy for picking out of the F1 screen those cities that need extra attention.
2. If you have the military advisor enabled, he'll still build an attacking unit when he thinks it's a good idea.
3. No. This feature works best for adding improvements in a predefined order, in which case you should turn off the military advisor. |

Yes, his name is Hannibal. Go kill him, raze his cities, and burn his palace to the ground. The jerk. |

She might decide to do so if you indulge the obsession too much, Godot. Take a tip from a (now long separated) fellow addict. |

Thanks EST. I'm obsessive but there are limits... not many, but a few. My wife is too wonderful for words and when she does get home Civ2 gets forgotten... as soon as I fight off that pesky Roman attack!

Oh, godot .... we all know that feeling sooooo well! Why is it so foreign to the female psyche to 'Just wait a moment - be right with you my darling' -- In my experience a CERTAIN formula for disaster - frequently projectile disaster!------------------
