Civilization II Hints

Darwin's Voyage

  • Cost: 400 Shields

    Prerequisite: Railroad

    Effect: Automatically grants two Civilization advances.

    Functions only on the turn it is constructed.

    I don't really mind having this Wonder - 400 Shields is a lot, though 2 free advances go a long way. Build it if you're behind on Science and have to catch up, but if you're so far ahead that you're building Armours while everyone else is still trying to get their Knights going, then don't worry about it.
