You have the wrong manual for the game.

This computer game is basically the original board game and the manual you've got is for the board game, which should be fine – but (like it says on the box) this game follows the advanced Civilization rules and you've got the manual for the basic version. Trade is wrong, various techs & catastrophes aren't included or are explained incorrectly, and having more than 11 tech cards isn't impossible but is actually essential for winning the game.

You need to dump the version you're currently hosting and use the one for advanced Civ. hosted at broggs.org or (better but probably harder) get someone to find the actual manual for this computer game.

Hi, I have the following version:

Advanced Civilization (R)
Version 1.11 Beta 1
Program & Audio-Visual Copyright (C) 1995 by The Avalon Hill Game Company
All Rights Reserved

I have noticed that the tool Agriculture does not anything. If a territory can support 2 units, having Agriculture it should support 3. But it is not happening, it still can support 2.

I have tested it in several games and with several civilizations. This tools does not help at all!

Has anyone a later version of this game, one with this bug corrected? Does such version exist, later than 1.11 Beta 1 ?

Thanks in advance.

My mistake.

Agriculture *DOES* work.

I was expecting to be able to have one token more than the ones depicted in the board, (same as in the board game) and it was not happening, so I assumed that Agriculture was not working.

BUT...

the game *DOES CHANGE* the number written in the territories (adding one to the number of tokens it can hold, if you are the only player with tokens in it). So Agriculture DOES work. It is just that you can not have more tokens that the number written in the territory, but such number will be one unit higher if you hold Agriculture and you are the only occupant of that territory.

My mistake, sorry.

Anyway, I am still interested in knowing if they released a version newer than:

Version 1.11 Beta 1

Thanks!

Weird. Works for me.

Since I ran into this problem, too, a repost from further up in the thread until we get the actual computer game manual:

I think from the above you are changing the title on one of the 2 autosaves at the bottom of the save screen. It is allowing the name change, but will only give you the game at the autosave position when you start up again.

To save:- place mouse curser on one of the vacent bar spaces. I use the Top bar.
Click on it and type in your save game name; then press enter. Game saved.

When you resave the game in the future follow the same procedure. You will note however that the save game name disappears and is repeced by a "-" when you click on the approriate bar. You then need to retype in your save game name again, and then press enter (as before).

Hope this helps.
