I need to stop fighting because it is making my citizens very unhappy, and I am also feeling very vulnerable because I am mobilising all my garrisoned units to help the war effort; so I decided to use recently captured cities as a bargaining tool in getting cease-fires signed.

However, the list of cities appears to be in chronological order, and the cities I wish to surrender, my most recent acquisitions, do not appear on the list. I have tried to scroll down, Page Down etc etc, but nothing seems to work.

Am I right or wrong?

Is there anyting I can do before I install the patch?

1. Is there any way to keep the Governors from building units? It seems that no matter what focus I put them on (science, etc), they still build military units, even though I don't want any.

2. As many has pointed out, the game seems to play the same track all the time, even if you uncheck the Auto_Replay thing in the Main Menu (if you look at it later, the computer has checked it again). Is the only way to press ESC and manually select the tracks from there?

3. Has anyone else experienced missing space planes? If I tell them to "warp" to a different city, sometimes, they simply disappear (with the unit inside them)! Just gone, like that! No matter how many turns I wait, they don't show up, and they're off the Unit List. Is it supposed to be this way?

A bunch of other stuff was annoying me, as well, but I can't seem to remember them. Anyhow, that was the important stuff.

When I try to patch my CtP II v1.0 to v1.1, the install program says it can't run since my OS is using the wrong language.

I run Windows 98 v4.10.1998 (Swedish edition) and on my CTP2 CD it says "Call to Power II, Made in EU, Activision, 30013.101.UK" (the game is in English).

Are there anyone who can help me?

Sometimes when I am quickly moving units around, I accidently move one into an enemy with whom I am not at war (or an entire fleet into a well defended enemy city for that matter ). Then I have war, which I don't want. Can't there be any warning for that ? (like in civ2) Or "undo last move" ?

You can read in the CTP2-Help (in German it is called "Lexikothek") that a destroyer can bombard troops and aircrafts and the frigate can bombard cities at the coast.

But my ships are not able to bombard this units or cities. Only my battleship can bombard cities.

I just bought CivII yesterday and tried installing it on my system. When I go to play the game, the screen first changes to black, then switches back to the desktop and minimizes, a couple of seconds later I get a "Illegal Operation" error by windows and the game shuts down.

I've installed DirectX 8.x and WinMedia Player in the hopes that this would help, but no dice. This is really frustrating considering I just paid $70.00 Can for the game. Please help whoever can.

I have just bought CTPII but would mostly like to play it on my laptop, which runs only on Windows NT 4.0

Unfortunately this is not possible - does anyone know of a way around this, or a patch if necessary ?

For example;

You are playing, or viewing the advances whatever. You press ALT+[PRT SCRN]

Now the screen is in the clipboard. Exit the game and load your graphics program. If you don't have one use MS Paint.

After the program opens go up and click on [EDIT] then click on paste.

You will see a message box telling you "The image in the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlarged?" Click [YES]

Now your screenshot is in paint and you can save it. It would help to use a better program so you can modify the image. However the simple goal is get into a file. Then at least you have it saved somewhere and can work with it later.

Secondly I've only experienced Nukes (oh drool) in the nuclear detente scen. and in that your not supposed to be able to change their targets anyway.I haven't gotten up to nukes in any of my games yet though i am close, so i wouldn't know.

2:what seems to work is if you check repeat track off then after closing the window go straight back into it.
it should then play random tracks.unfortunetly you haveto do this every time you resart the game

3:dunno haven't got that far. haven't heard of it.
