Civilization II Hints

Great Wall

  • Cost: 300 Shields

    Prerequisite: Masonry

    Effect: Acts as City Walls in all friendly cities. Doubles unit attack strength versus Barbarians. Enemy civilizations are forced to offer peace or cease-fire during negotiations.

    Effects expire with the discovery of Metallurgy.

    I don't really like this one. Sure it acts as free City Walls etc. But for the same price you could get the Pyramids, which is a much better buy. And whenever anyone discovers Metallurgy, you're left pretty much defenceless.
