Civilization II Hints

Copernicus' Observatory

  • Cost: 300 Shields

    Prerequisite: Astronomy

    Effect: Increases science output where of the city where the Wonder is built by 50%.

    Effects do not expire.

    I am the type of player that really likes to be number 1 in Science, therefore I give the thumbs up to Science Wonders. The Observatory is the first and worst of the science wonders, build it if you have time to spare. Otherwise don't bother.
