NOTE: 21 World Powers are already available in Civilization II so some major countries are not listed because they are in the code already.

4. Get Powers to build more settlements in Wilderness areas
5. Get the City Placer A.I. for the Computer Powers to place Cities where there is a good balance of Production Shields to Food
6. Get A.I. to Build Level 1 Population 'Mine Cities' next to Gold or Ore
7. Don't let the fleet build up in one Corner and slow the game moving back and forth
8. Occupy Coastal Cities downed by Naval Coastal Attack e.g. Man-O-War (e.g. Nelson's HMS Victory), or Dreadnoughts
9. Discontinue Foreign Caravans / Freight stuck at bottlenecks like Istanbul / Constantinople, after several turns of going back and forth a lot of times; or get them to go through or round
10. Demand 50%, then 25%, then 1/8 Tribute from weak Power. Generally in the game you go round all the leaders and demand ALL their money and use it with a diplomat or spy to bribe their city into your empire, which is cheaper because their treasury is low.
11. 3 A.I. Levels: Low / Medium / High
12. Make Alliances more easily. Go to War for Ally SHOULD NOT Damage reputation. Or have 1/4 or less the bad reputation build up.
13. Request Ally focus attack on one particular City
14. Research Feudalism & Chivalry earliest. Like before the Musket!
15. ... and any thing else Good you can think off ... because we can't play textual mapped games, we want token based distinct map square games
16. ... and someone want's a Brick Factory, and possibly build housing to speed population growth in a City ...
17. 'Wine' Trade Caravans should fetch a better price.

Example Scenarios

• The Québec Conference (codenamed "QUADRANT"), a highly secret military conference between the British, Canadian and United States governments. The conference was held in Québec City (17-24 August 1943) during World War II. It took place at the Citadelle and at the Château Frontenac. The chief representatives were Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. It decided the D-Day Invasion of Normandy from Southern Britain for 1944. General Jan Smuts of the Dominion of South Africa, Churchill's good Friend, had also sent South African Troops to the Egypt, and Italian Theaters. In, pre-Apartheid South Africa.

• Luckily Maraget Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Comrade Gorbachef saved the World from an INSANE Theromnuclear War in 1989. In 1990 the Eastern European Soviet Satellites of the GDR (East Germany), Poland, Czech Rebublic + Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were allowed to play it their way, like Old Blue Eyes - Frank Sanatra. Later the 15 Soviet Republics all became Independent including Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Chancellor Cole of West Germany helped keep the West Free. He has served in the German Army during the War on the Western front, against his wishes.
  Thatcher, and Reagon believed in the Free Market. Thatcher sold lots of Shares to Finance British Industry, and Council houses were Sold Cheap, and done up, because the Councils couldn't afford to. She was wrong about the 'Community Charge' or 'Poll Tax' - as the poorest paid too high a percentage, and right to keep a fluid Exchange Rate. She also introduced the 'Child Support Agency' which reduced Illegitimate Children by 3-7%, and made Fathers pay towards the upkeep of their Children.
  The 1980's was a time of Great Technological, and Cultural Innovation. For Example: Microcomputers like to Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, and the IBM PC; Lots of Good 2D Computer Games that were easy to learn; British Telecom's System X Digital Telephone Exchange; The 'Big Bang' in the City of London for Electronic Shares Dealing; and Pop Music.
