Civilization II Hints
What to do first
You can't just start flinging nukes around willy nilly, you need a couple turns of recon before you can even think about killing them. So after that annoying first strike check out the enemy's cities you wish to nuke, check to see whether or not each city has a SDI improvement. Preferably only nuke cities without SDI improvements as it's a lot harder for you to turn cities to slag if they have SDI defenses (takes much more time too). Your next step is to switch to a Fundamentalist government. This new government helps you because you can build 10 units and the other Civ don't hate you as much (The Eiffel Tower Wonder is a added plus). From here on out you go two ways based on whether or not your targets have SDI improvements or not. Also make sure you've got a ton of money as it's easier and quicker with money.
