Civilization II Hints

United Nations

  • Cost: 600 Shields

    Prerequisite: Communism

    Effects: You automatically receive an embassy with every rival civilization, and enemy civilizations are forced to offer cease-fire or peace during negotiations. In addition, under Democracy you can successfully declare war 50% of the time.

    Effects do not expire.

    I love having this Wonder. It guards against wars I don't want to have, plus there's the embassy with everyone. And if I feel like crushing someone, I can build it as a defensive measure, i.e., when I don't want to stop a war because the Americans (for example) built this Wonder. Forcing the Mongols to accept peace also comes very handy sometimes.
