Civilization II (PlayStation)

Use your might to smite or neural delight to alight. It's fight or flight, the video game.

Units
The three provided customizable "extra" units from the PC version are present in the unit images. They can be created with a GameShark and operate normally.

Extra Air

Extra Land

Extra Sea

There are also two other unused items among the units:

An extra boat

And whatever this is

Other
Images for various Japanese language dialogs and text tiles exist in the \PEDIA\ directory

Tiles for various styles of small display windows and alternate game setup screens are present amongst the other game icons. They're loaded at the main game screen but are never used (except for the line of tiles under the "Tribe" bar).

Unused Text
The intro text for the "Rise of Rome" and "World War II" scenarios from the PC version are present in \CIV2\rome.txt and \CIV2\wwii.txt files, respectively. As the PlayStation version doesn't have scenarios, these go unused.

The PAL version includes Civilipedia text for a Plumber advance. As this advance is dummied out, the text is never shown in that context. The description is identical to that of the Sanitation advance, so it is accessible in that sense. @;Plumber @PEDIACIV63 The increased waste produced by growing populations over time eventually led to potential health hazards. It then became necessary to come up with systems to dispose of garbage and human waste in a sanitary manner. Plumbing systems designed to remove waste water from dwellings and public buildings became commonplace, as did sewage plants which treated the wastewater before it was dumped into local waterways. Landfills were established, and garbage was collected for sanitary disposal in dumps and landfills a safe distance from the general population. These measures led to a healthier environment, and allowed for further population growth.

A directory listing for the Japanese CD's \Civ2\ directory exists in all versions in the \Civ2\textlist file. ドライブ C のボリュームは PCDOS_J7   です ボリューム・シリアル番号は 2159-953D です ディレクトリーは C:\CDROM\CIV2

Music
The US release has nine unused WAV files in the root of its filesystem. They are 10 second-ish samples of music from the PC version's Redbook audio, with the final seconds being the intro to the next audio clip in the sequence.

The PAL release removes these files and adds Empty.da, a 3:02 wav file of complete silence

Map Backgrounds
The Japanese version features busier map backgrounds to choose from, and the main UI panels have both a top and a bottom as opposed to the other versions where they only have sides.

Game Text
The game text was edited for the PAL version to include contractions and remove some unnecessary verbiage. Some dialog was also made wider.

US text examples "So be it! We will gladly crush the %STRING4 for you!" "So be it! Let us teach the %STRING4 a lesson!" ^ ^^Checking Memory Card. ^^Please do not remove the Memory Card. ^ @PEDIAPICKCIV @width=560 @columns=2 @listbox @title=Civilopedia: Civilization Advances PAL alternatives, the 'Letss' is a typo resulting from the editing "So be it!
