Civilization II Hints

Port Facility

  • Port facilities are very useful if you are a fan of naval warfare.  They are not really necessary in every coastal city, just ones that are near major shipping lanes and near your battle lines.  Some of the more modern boats have thirty hit points and a Battleship has forty.  If these ships become badly damaged, their movement will be seriously reduced and it will take next to forever to get them back to a port facility unless you have one nearby. Or you could just rest the boat in place until it is repaired, but consider how long a badly damaged Battleship with a possible forty hit points would take to repair itself out in the water. Build port facilities near where you use your big boats.
