Players perform such actions as manage cities, conduct diplomatic functions with other civilizations, and explore a world map. Civilization II: Test of Time includes the original Civilization II and the multiplayer features found in the gold edition but only one of the scenarios - 'The History of Midgard.' Instead, the game expands on two past scenarios to create two stand-alone games - Lalande 21185, a science fiction game, and Midgard (not the scenario), a fantasy game.īoth Lalande 21185 and Midgard play in the same way as Civilization II. The gold edition came with the add-on packs, some extra scenarios, and multiplayer features.
Since the release of part two in 1997 the series has seen the release of a couple of add-on packs and Civilization II: Multiplayer Gold Edition. First there was Sid Meier's Civilization and then Sid Meier's Civilization II.
