The Hall Of Fame

The Hall of Fame records the five best civilizations that you have built, listed in

order of their civilization ranking. This ranking is determined from the basic

civilization score multiplied by a level of difficulty factor. The higher the

civilization ranking, the higher the position in the Hall of Fame.

You can examine the Hall of Fame when starting a new game from the Pre-

Game Options menu. When you retire or reach the automatic end of a game, the

Hall of Fame is displayed, even if you don’t qualify to be inducted.

In the DOS version you may clear all of the current entries in the Hall of Fame

if you wish by clicking on the Clear button. This eliminates all entries in the Hall

of Fame except the one just finished if you are looking at the entries before

exiting a played game.

Replay Options

When a game ends normally (not by retiring), you are given the opportunity to

review your civilization’s history by watching a replay of the game. The Replay

menu offers three choices: “Quick Replay”, “Complete Replay”, and “Write

Replay to Disk”.

Quick Replay: On a basic map of the entire

world showing no terrain, the game is replayed

turn by turn by noting the founding, capture,

and destruction of cities by all civilizations. The

land mass changes color to correspond to the

civilization controlling each area. Watch the rise

and fall of civilizations and learn what was

happening while you were busy in your own

corner of the world. This replay is conducted

automatically.

Complete Replay: This replay includes all of the

information reported in the Quick Replay with

some additions. You also learn who first achieved each civilization advance, who

was the first to build each type of unit, who built each Wonder of the World, who

was at war or peace and with whom, and the complete destruction of civilizations.

The Complete Replay stops after each information report. You must click the

mouse or press the Enter key to continue.

Hoover Dam

Once the game is won, your skill as ruler is measured by a final civilization score.

Civilization Score: This is the sum of the following factors, plus any bonus for

space colonists or conquering the world.

2 points: each happy citizen

1 point: each content citizen

20 points: each Wonder of the World

3 points: each turn of peace (no war anywhere)

5 points: each futuristic advance your civilization acquires (see page 27)

(-) 10 points: each map square currently polluted

Your civilization score may be checked while you play. Choose the option

“Civilization Score” from the World menu or press the shortcut key (F9 in the

DOS version or Ctrl + 9 in the Windows version).

Space Colonists Bonus: In addition to the above points, if your spaceship is the

first to reach Alpha Centauri you can receive a bonus score. This is 50 points per

10,000 colonists sent, multiplied by the success percentage of your mission. For

example, if your spaceship arrives first with 10,000 colonists and the success

percentage of your expedition was 80%, then you receive 40 bonus points.

Conquering the World Bonus: If you succeed in conquering the world during

the year 2000 AD, you receive 1000 civilization points. This bonus is modified by

(+) 2 points for each year before that date, by (-) 2 points for each year after that

date, and by (-) 100 points for each civilization less than 7 that you selected to

begin the game with.

Power Graph

The Power Graph appears at the end of a game and shows the relative strength

of civilizations that took part. The power of each civilization is indicated on the

graph by a line in its color. For example, the Germans are blue and a blue line

indicates the strength of their civilization. The higher a line climbs on the graph,

the greater the power of the civilization. Civilizations that are destroyed have their

line fall to the bottom of the graph. Everything a civilization possesses, including

cities, population, improvements, Wonders, treasury, technology, and units, is

added together to calculate its power.
