Civilization II Hints
Nuclear and Hydro Plants
Build either of these two improvements over Power Plants whenever possible because they not only increase your production the same as a Power Plant, but they also cut your industrial pollution in half. If possible, build the Hoover Dam wonder, because it will give you hydro plants in every one of your cities and you not only save yourself the resources to build them, but also the per-turn upkeep costs. If you have the choice, build Nuclear Plants over Hydro Plants. They not only cost less shields to build (160 vs. 240), but their upkeep is half as much (2 vs. 4). Besides all of that, Hydro Plants can only be built next to ocean, river, or mountain squares whereas Nuclear Plants can be built anywhere. The risk of meltdown is so slim as to be considered negligible, so hang in there; I doubt you'll have an accident before you discover Fusion Power. The rewards far out weigh the slight risks.
