Civilization II Hints
"The Vikings Launch..." Aaaaahhh!
If another civilisation builds and launches their spaceship before your ready - don't despair. Build the maximum structure, minimum life support etc and maximum engines and fuel. As long as you pile enough resources in and weren't already too far behind, your spaceship will fly faster, catch up, overtake and you'll win.
(I've only been beaten to the launch twice. Both times by the Vikings. The first time I won anyway because of a bug in 1.0 which meant as long as you had launched a spaceship you won regardless of who actually got to Alpha Centauri first. The second time I won by using the above tactic.)
