Civilization II Hints

Michelangelo's Chapel

  • Cost: 400 Shields

    Prerequisite: Monotheism

    Effect: Counts as a Cathedral in each of your cities.

    Effects do not expire.

    This wonder is very powerful considering that each Cathedral costs 120 Shields to build and 3 coins maintenance. This is the best way to control unhappiness in the game. If you don't have this on the Deity level you can pretty much forget about winning. Build this like someone has a gun to your head.
