Patch Version 1.3

Internal Version 5.4.0f Multiplayer 26-March-99

----------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to game balance and cheat issues, this patch will not work in

tandem with older versions of Civ II Multiplayer. That is, everyone

in a multiplayer game must have the patched version in order for the

game to run properly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Patch 1.3 Notes

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The Casualty Timeline is now available in both hotseat and single

player modes of play. In a hotseat game, this can be used to

determine unit losses at the start of a turn.

* Bribing of units in a democracy now functions correctly in all

cases.

* The chat window and trading windows will now re-center when a player

executes the "Arrange Windows" command from the "View" pulldown. This

allows the these windows to be brought back into view when they "jump"

off the edge of the screen.

* In a hotseat game, attitude values for a human player towards other

players will NOT change while it is NOT that human's turn. They should

be adjusted manually in the "Foreign Minister" window.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Patch 1.2 Notes

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* During network (and Internet) games, it is no longer possible to

disband a unit multiple times (and gain unearned shields) when the

latency (delay time) is high.

* During scenarios, enemy ships will no longer spontaneously appear

inside cities. (This happened very infrequently.)

* In response to your requests, we have added a feature to negotiation

between human rulers. When you are parleying with another human, you

now have the option to Hide the extra information about your units

and cities from your opponent. (Note that this info disappears from

your display, too.) When you have the data hidden, you have the option

to Reveal it (and you can switch back and forth as often as you wish).

A third new button lets you Request Info of your opponent. This sends

a message to the other person asking that the city and unit data be

revealed. Of course, he or she can Deny your request. There is no

notification of the decision, but your opponent's answer will be clear.

(Either you'll see the information or you won't.)

Patch 1.1 Notes

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The latest Indeo drivers are available from Intel at:

http://developer.intel.com/ial/indeo/video/driver.htm

* VFWFIX.REG is included with this patch. You should be able to double-

click on it to update the registry. However, you might need to do this:

1. Run REGEDIT (under RUN in the Start Menu).

2. Click on the Registry menu (at the top).

3. Select "Import Registry File", then locate the VFWFIX.REG file.

4. Double-click it.

* The Game Profile now appears at the beginning of a multiplayer game,

just as a reminder.

* During the game, the Game Profile is available on the Game menu.

* The Cheat menu is no longer available during multiplayer games.

* The Pikeman's defensive bonus now works properly in double movement games.

* When technologies are offered for trade, the trade lists include all of

the technologies you do not already have, even if that opponent does not

have them. (Thus, you gain no information on his or her status.)

If you have an Embassy or an Alliance with that opponent, both the list of

advances you see and the one you present (to your opponent) are culled. You
 see only the techs he or she has that you need, and your opponent sees only

those you have that he or she needs.

* The GoTo order now works as it did in the original Civilization II.

* The occasional blocking of human parleys should no longer happen.

* More precise instructions for Dial-Up Networking (modem to modem and direct

connect) follow:
