THE BASICS
A mouse is required to play Caesar II. When this
manual or any of the on-line instructions tell you to
“click on,” “select,” or “press” something, you should
click on it with your left mouse button, unless you are
specifically instructed to “right-click,” or use the right
button.
Most of the game functions are accessed via mouse-
activated buttons. Often, when you roll your mouse
pointer over a button, a text box on the screen will tell
you what would happen if you clicked on the button
your mouse pointer is currently over.
Other functions are accessed via “hotspots,” or areas on
the screen that initiate actions or call up information
when clicked on. When you are called upon to set a
numeric value, you will often do so with arrow buttons.
Click on the up and down arrows to set the
accompanying value. Hold your mouse button down to
make large changes quickly
Game play in Caesar II takes place on two “levels.”
On the City Level, you will closely manage all aspects
of your Province’s capital city, including roads,
economy, and housing. The Province Level will
place your city into perspective. Here, your
capital city is just one of many places within your
provincial borders. On the Province Level, you
will build industries to supply your city’s
markets, lay provincial roads, and manage your
defense.
