Decide BEFORE you start the game if you are going for world domination or the space race. This will keep you focused and make the number of possibilities manageable. Side note: build shakespeare's theater in your best producing/ most central city if replic or democracy. Then support the bulk of your army from that city.

Never attack an enemy until you are truly ready, make sure all their cities are in easy striking distance even if they are allies as this could change in a heartbeat 9/7 - Anonymous
In the manual, you will see a 15-page tutorial. This will get you started, and get you some practical experience in the world of Civilization 2.

There is an extensive manual, complete with hints, in your Civilization 2 box. There is also a fold-out Advances Chart poster. They can be very useful.

Sometimes it pays to be niceÉ even if you'd rather maim, raze, burn, kill, and destroy. Diplomacy is a very important part of Civilization 2.

Keeping your people happy is important. If they are too unhappy, they may revolt, or their production may slow or stop. Experiment with different forms of government and different levels of luxury to keep your population happy (or at least content) and producing.

Try experimenting with different tribes. The Celts, for instance, will react differently from, say, the Russians.

Listen to what your Advisors have to say, but remember that each of them has his or her own agenda. If two or more Advisors agree, however, it's probably a good idea to do what they suggest.
