Civilization II Hints

Granary

  • At the lower difficulty levels, where unhappiness is easier to control, I would say that granaries are a definite must-have improvement in all cities.  In the higher difficulty levels, however, you may want to put off building granaries for quite a while since the population growth they cause brings with it increasing unhappiness.  In this case, don't put up granaries until you have the ability to keep your population in line.  Consider building the Pyramids, since they never expire and act as a granary in every one of your cities.
