----------Civ89 Quick Start Guide----------

For the most part, you are expected to figure out how to play on your own based on trial and error and possibly former experience with the Civilization series, if not by reading the Civ89 Instruction Manual or PowerPoint presentation.  However, the rules shown below are especially important to the game or difficult to discover on your own.  Also, the Civ89 Unit Chart and Civ89 Technology Tree are designed as supplements to the game.

-Victory is achieved when your opponent has no units or ciities.  If the turn limit expires before then, the game will select a winner based on military strength and gold.

Technology:

-Technological advances allow you to make new units and prrovide other benefits.

Cities:

-The first 10 cities give revenues that start at 5 gold peer turn per city.  The next 10 give no income.  The next 5 cost 10 gold per turn per city.  The next 5 cost 20 gold per turn per city per city.  The next 5 cost 30 gold per turn per city.  The pattern repeats for remaining cities.
-Each city allows for 5 extra units’ free support.  25 uniits are automatically free.  Remaining units cost 5% of their purchase price per turn.
