Hi everyone, i'm new to this group.
I've just been on http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/POde/civ2.htm
, and somebody is charging $10 for a strategy guide, on computer,
written themselves. Have any of you ordered it, what is it like, and is
it available for free anywhere?
If you look closely at the site you will notice that it is quite
possible to rip the guy off and not send any money. I'm not condoning
that, it's just an observation.

I would buy a printed play guide, never one online. I don't think the
writers working online are nearly [yet] as good as those working for
traditional offline publishers.

Not to mention you can read other playguides online which are *free.*

I think I have one linked on my homepage:
www.interlog.com/~krupo/home.html

"Fire!" - the name of the guide. If it's handy, use it.

My website has links to Amazon.com. So you could buy a printed copy form it.
If you are interested visit the site
www.spiritone.com/~kaynor/starcraft/index.htm IT MUST ALL BE LOWER CASE!!!!!

I suggest ypu don't pay for a thing until you check out the guides on
this site:

http://www.cyberaddiction.com/guide.htm

The CIV II guide there made all the difference in my subsequent game
success, and it is FREE. Just download or print from the site.

I had no intention of paying for the guide, buy you recieve it then pay for it ;-)
I'm just checking out the link now, thanks.
