I was bored this afternoon, and I was exploring the Civ II CD. I found the high council .avi files, and played them. If you have never done this, I suggest you do. There are 3 files (1 for each period) that are long, back to back council statements from each advisor. You know: "Give me more soldiers, noble leader, so that they may sheathe their swords in the beating hearts of our enemies..." etc. There are some sections in here that I have never seen in actual game play that are absolutely hilarious, like the science advisor in the medieval period:
"The very cobblestones in our streets possess more knowledge than we do. In truth, Sire, ...[looks over his shoulder]... We suck!" ROTFLMAO!  Most of the best messages are ones you recieve when a given advisor's area is extremely lacking (like the Modern trade advisor when you still do not possess the trade technology -- which is one of the funniest) Also, there is a lot of extremely hostile bickering between the advisors that never seems to make actual game play... Have you ever seen the diplomatic advisor spit (Medieval, Modern)? I wonder why some of this stuff never comes out during a game... -Bob

One day I accidently consulted the High Council during a period of anarchy ... and they cracked me up. They were all yelling at each other at the same time. "Who told you this was going to happen? I told you this was going to happen." etc, etc.------------------

Done that!I think that the Medieval Science Advisor message:
"The very cobblestones in our streets possess more knowledge than we do. In truth, Sire, ...[looks over his shoulder]... We suck!" and the Modern Trade Advisor message: "Traaade!! Discover Traaade!! ..."
Are the best indeed! LOL |

Yeah, some of the advisor scenes are really hilarious... I also like the medieval trade advisor, saying:"We're rich, sire! Rich, RICH RICH!!!" |

"TRAADE, SIR! Trade! Here's you! Here's a clue! Get a clue! Discover trade!" I wonder how someone could get to modern times w/o discovering trade tho'. |

There're also some pretty venomous insults those advisors use for each other...  |

What I did once is:
save, cheat mode, then go to each AI and consult the High council.
Lot of fun.

lol,even militarily I never got the bad ships one. I am wondering what parmeters are required to get those bad settings. I suppose if you haven't researched map making by the renaissance age you get that message., hilarious though |

You have to have the CD in the drive, look into the folder labeled 'video', and there should be 3 sets of .avi files, one for each council period. |
