_______________________________________________
________ One of the original "Seven Ancient Wonders", the Pyramids of Giza stand as a remarkable example of ancient man's ability to organize vast construction projects.

@;Hanging Gardens
@PEDIAIMPROVE40
Three extra happy citizens in city, plus
one extra happy citizen in every other city.
___________________________________ 
______________________ Another of the original "Seven Ancient Wonders", the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were a rising series of terraced gardens. They were built by King Nebuchadnezzar II in 600 B.C. to console his Median wife, homesick for the mountainous land of her birth.

@;Colossus
@PEDIAIMPROVE41
(Colossus)
City produces one extra trade arrow in each square that
already produces one.   ______________________________ 
______________________________________________________            
__ Produced from the Murex Mollusc, the famous "Royal Purple" was the most distinctive, and valuable, product produced by the Phoenician Sea Traders of the Levant.


@;Lighthouse
@PEDIAIMPROVE42
(Lighthouse)
Galleys can move across oceans w/o danger, and all other
types of ship have their movement rate increased by one.
Also, all new ships you produce receive veteran status.
________________________________________________
__________ The Odyssey is Homer's description of the long and wandering voyage of King Odysseus as he heads home from the Trojan War. Some believe this story is a distant echo of the time when Ancient Greeks were one of the "Sea Peoples" that ravaged the Eastern Mediterranean @1200 B.C.

@;Great Library
@PEDIAIMPROVE43
Civilization receives any civilization advance
already discovered by two other civilizations.
________________________________________________ 
__________ At it's height, virtually every book from the Western Ancient world had a copy in the Great Library of Alexandria, a collection which ultimately comprised over 500,000 volumes. It's destruction by arson in 640 AD is perhaps the single greatest loss of human knowledge ever recorded in history.

@;Oracle
@PEDIAIMPROVE44
Doubles the effect of all of your temples.
__________________________________________
________________ Oracles were a feature of many ancient religions, usually consisting of shrines which used human intermediaries to dispense prophecies and advice from the gods. The Oracle of the god Apollo at Delphi was the most famous of these.

@;Great Wall
@PEDIAIMPROVE45
(Great Wall)
Enemy civilizations must offer cease-fire/peace
in negotiations.  Combat strength doubled against
barbarians. _______________________________
_________________________
The term "Cyclopean Walls" refers primarily to the huge defensive ramparts surrounding many Bronze Age Myceneaen cities in Greece, but could easily refer to the equally impressive fortifications built by the Hittites, Assyrians, and Babylonians.

@;Sun Tzu's War Academy
@PEDIAIMPROVE46
(Sun Tzu's War Academy) All new ground units produced 
gain Veteran status. Any unit which wins a combat gains 
Veteran status.  ____________________________
______________________________ The Assyrians were one of the most ruthlessly effective military empires of the Ancient World. Their war machine contained great siege engines, chariots, armored archers & swordsmen, cavalry, and even commandos. Perhaps the first historical instance of true "Combined Arms" military tactics.

@;King Richard's Crusade
@PEDIAIMPROVE47
(King Richard's Crusade)
Every square in the city's radius produces an extra
resource "shield". __________________________________
_____________________________________________________
___ The Cedars of Lebanon were famous trees much desired for the construction of great temples and sturdy galleys. So valuable in fact, that the ancients wiped out most of the forests which once carpeted the hills of Phoenicia (Lebanon) and Syria.

@;Marco Polo's Embassy
@PEDIAIMPROVE48
(Marco Polo's Embassy)
You receive a free embassy with every rival Civilization (so
your intelligence report will always be complete and you will
receive updates when other civilizations discover technologies).
__________________________________________________
______ The Egyptian "Foreign Office" archives unearthed in Amarna reveal a fascinating ongoing correspondence between Pharoah and the rival rulers of the Hittite, Assyrian, and Babylonian empires.

@;Michelangelo's Chapel
@PEDIAIMPROVE49
(Michelangelo's Chapel)
Counts as a Temple Complex in each of your cities.
________________________________________
________________ The Karnak Temple Complex in Thebes (including the massive Great Temple of Amon) was the largest religious center to be found anywhere in the Ancient Middle East, and functioned as such for over a thousand years.

@;Copernicus' Observatory
@PEDIAIMPROVE50
(Copernicus' Observatory)
Increases science output of city by 50%%.
______________________________________________
___________ Rising up from the flat plains of Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq), the Ziggurat of Ur was (and is) a most impressive structure. These Sumerian versions of the pyramids (the source of the biblical "Tower of Babel" story), were actually religious temples. Their priests conducted stellar observations which led to the development of the calendar, among other innovations.

@;Magellan's Expedition
@PEDIAIMPROVE51
(Magellan's Expedition)
Movement rate of all ships is increased by two.
______________________________________
____________________ In 600 B.C. the Pharoah Necho commisioned a voyage which circumnavigated the continent of Africa! A fleet of Phoenician ships set out down the Red Sea, and three years later returned through the Straits of Gibraltar (the ancient "Pillars of Hercules") and sailed in triumph up the Nile to the Egyptian capital. 

@:Shakespeare's Theatre
@PEDIAIMPROVE52
(Shakespeare's Theatre)
All unhappy citizens in city are content.
______________________________________
____________________ The famous temple of Solomon (b. 950 BC), the home of the Ark of the Covenant, was the spiritual center of the Jewish world until it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. All that remains today is the famous "Wailing Wall" in the heart of Old Jerusalem.

@;Da Vinci's Workshop
@PEDIAIMPROVE53
(Da Vinci's Workshop)
Truly the most amazing inventor of his time, Archimedes of Syracuse had a mind as nimble as that of Leonardo. Although almost all his plans and documents have been lost, the military inventions of Archimedes (including the famous ship-destroying "Claws") helped keep a huge Roman army at bay for over three years.

@;J.S. Bach's Cathedral
@PEDIAIMPROVE54
(J.S. Bach's Cathedral)
Decreases unhappy citizens on same continent by 2 per city.
_________________________________________
_________________________________________
_______________ The many Royal Tombs in the Valley of the Kings represents the strong Egyptian belief in life after death. In many ways a precursor of certain elements in Christianity, this doctrine was a source of comfort to Pharoah and peasant alike. 

@;Isaac Newton's College
@PEDIAIMPROVE55
(Isaac Newton's College)
Doubles science output of city.
_____________________________________
_____________________ The greatest astronomer of his time, Ptolemy conducted detailed observations of stars and tracked the motions of the five visible planets. Although his "Earth-centric" theories were later demolished by Copernicus, his rigorous methods clearly place him among the top scientists of the ancient world.

@;Adam Smith's Trading Co.
@PEDIAIMPROVE56
(Adam Smith's Trading Co.)
Pays the maintenance for all city improvements which
ordinarily cost 1 gold per turn.  City improvements
requiring more than 1 gold per turn maintenance are not
affected.
__________________________________
______________________ The Palace System of the Minoans was clearly one of the most successful economic models in the ancient world. Although records are fragmentary, the archaeological evidence indicates that these food storage and distribution centers helped create a Minoan lifestyle which was remarkable for its peace and prosperity.

@;Darwin's Voyage
@PEDIAIMPROVE57
(Darwin's Voyage) Two free civilization advances.
_____________________________________
_____________________ The "Arms Race" was not a modern invention. Many times in the Ancient World one culture would achieve a military breakthrough, and quickly exploit it to the dismay of their neighbors. The Chariot, the Naue Type II Sword, and the Legion are but a few examples.

@;The Statue of Liberty
@PEDIAIMPROVE58
(The Statue of Liberty) Eliminates the period of unrest between governments.
Also allows any form of government to be chosen, even if
the proper advance has not been discovered.
_____________________________________
_____________________ The Parthenon of Athens represents the Greek City-States and their amazing ability to switch quickly from Despotism to Oligarchy to Democracy, and back again. 

@;The Eiffel Tower
@PEDIAIMPROVE59
(The Eiffel Tower) When first obtained, every civilization's attitude toward you 
is immediately shifted 25 points in your favor (on a hundred 
point scale).  Attitudes continue to improve gradually over 
time.  Other civilizations are also quicker to forget your
past transgressions.
_____________________________________
_____________________ One of the original "Seven Ancient Wonders", the Colussus was a huge bronze statue of the sun god Helios, and stood for a mere 55 years. Yet even after it fell, it was maintained as a tourist attraction that drew gawking visitors to Rhodes for the next 900 years. It was finally melted down for scrap by Turkish conquerors in 645 A.D.

@;Hoover Dam
@PEDIAIMPROVE61
(Hoover Dam) Provides Slave Labor to every city on every continent.
_____________________________________
_____________________ Slavery was a simple fact of life throughout the Ancient World, and the largest source of slaves was warfare. Losers in battle faced three alternatives: Death, Flight, or Slavery. Every economy was slave-labor based to one degree or another, and those with the largest numbers of slaves tended to be the most productive. 

@;Women's Suffrage
@PEDIAIMPROVE60
(Women's Suffrage) Counts as a Garrison in every one of your cities.
(Decreases unhappiness caused by troops away from city by 1).
_____________________________________
_____________________ The Senate (and the civilian leadership it provided) symbolizes the effect upon the populace of a professional standing army like the one employed by Rome. People expected (and probably prefered) that the legions would be away on an extended basis, so it didn't cause the kind of unhappiness that results when the army is composed of farmers and tradespeople who are key components of the local economy.

@;Manhattan Project
@PEDIAIMPROVE62
(Manhattan Project) Obsolete, for obvious reasons.
________________________________________________
__________ The legendary Labyrinth of Knossos, home of the Minotaur, represents the powerful fleets and sea trading dominance of the Minoan civilization of Crete.

@;United Nations
@PEDIAIMPROVE63
^* Free embassy with every other civilization
^* Enemy civ's cannot refuse your peace treaties.
^* As a democracy, you can declare war 50%% of the time
^  (peacekeeping missions).

@;Apollo Program
@PEDIAIMPROVE64
(Apollo Program) The entire world (cities and terrain) becomes visable.
_____________________________________
_____________________ The "Father of History", Herodotus journeyed throughout the Eastern Mediterranean (@500 B.C.), collecting tales from all the cultures he encountered.

@;SETI Program
@PEDIAIMPROVE65
(SETI Program) Counts as a School of Philosophy in every one of your cities;
effectively doubles your science output.
_____________________________________
_____________________ Aristotle founded his Lyceum in 340 B.C., and it continued the spirit of philosophical enquiry which he learned from his teacher Plato. But it was the multi-disciplinary writings of Aristotle which served as the foundation of Western science, remaining largely unchallenged until the Renaissance.

@;Cure for Cancer
@PEDIAIMPROVE66
(Cure for Cancer) One extra happy citizen in each city.
_________________________________
_______________________ The carnal delights of a good Fertility Festival were guaranteed to put the populace in a pleasant mood!

@title=Civilization: Governments
The form of government you choose for your civilization will
affect the way resources are distributed in your cities, the
rate at which your citizens can produce and sustain new units
and city improvements, and the extent to which your citizens
have a say in the way you govern them.
^
Some forms of government, such as Despotism, Monarchy, and
later Empire and Theocracy, allow you to expand
rapidly, to produce and sustain large numbers of military
units, and to control your affairs completely.
^
Democracy and the Republic, on the other hand, give your
citizens the freedom to produce vast amounts of trade, which
increases your wealth and knowledge rapidly. On the other
hand, your citizens may grow unhappy when you send military
units out of your cities; also, your Senate may try to
interfere in your conduct of foreign affairs.
^
To change your civilization's government, you must have a
Revolution--select "Revolution" from the Kingdom Menu.  This
will entail a brief period of Anarchy.

@PEDIAGOVT0
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Anarchy
Anarchy represents not so much a government type as the
lack of any stable government. Anarchy occurs when your
civilization's government falls, or when you decide to
have a Revolution. After a few turns of Anarchy, you will
be able to reconstitute your government.
^
Anarchy is similar to Despotism, except that the corruption
rate is VERY HIGH (see entry for Despotism).  However, no
taxes are collected during a period of Anarchy, and no
scientific research is conducted.

@PEDIAGOVT1
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Despotism
^UNIT SUPPORT
Each unit above the city size costs one shield per turn.
Settlers eat one food per turn.
^
^HAPPINESS
Up to three military units in each city will institute
"martial law", converting an unhappy citizen into a content
citizen.
^
^CORRUPTION AND WASTE
Despotism has a HIGH rate of corruption and waste.  The
level of corruption in a particular city is based on its
distance from your capital.
^
^SPECIAL
Under a Despotism, none of the science/tax/luxury rates may
be set higher than 60%%.  ALSO, ANY SQUARE WHICH WOULD ORDINARILY
PRODUCE THREE OR MORE OF A RESOURCE (FOOD, SHIELDS, TRADE) PRODUCES
ONE LESS.
^
^HINTS
Because of Despotism's high rate of corruption, it is almost
always an inferior form of government.  Try to switch to a
Monarchy as soon as possible.


@PEDIAGOVT2
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Monarchy
^UNIT SUPPORT
Each unit beyond the third costs one shield per turn.
Settlers eat two food per turn.
^
^HAPPINESS
Up to three military units in each city will institute
"martial law", converting an unhappy citizen into a content
citizen.
^
^CORRUPTION AND WASTE
Monarchy has a MODERATE rate of corruption and waste.  The
level of corruption in a particular city is based on its
distance from your capital.
^
^SPECIAL
Under a Monarchy, none of the science/tax/luxury rates may
be set higher than 70%%.
^
^HINTS
Monarchy is an excellent form of government for a young
civilization.


@PEDIAGOVT3
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Communism
^UNIT SUPPORT
Each unit beyond the third costs one shield per turn.
Settlers eat two food per turn.
^
^HAPPINESS
Up to three military units in each city will institute
"martial law", converting *TWO* unhappy citizens into
content citizens (so a total of SIX unhappy citizens can
be suppressed).
^
^CORRUPTION AND WASTE
Under Empire, state control of the economy eliminates
organized crime.  Your cities, therefore, experience no
corruption.
^
^SPECIAL
Under Empire, none of the science/tax/luxury rates may
be set higher than 80%%.
^
^HINTS
Empire is in fact Communism renamed for earlier times.
Empire is best for large, far-flung empires which need
to maintain a large military.

@PEDIAGOVT4
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Fundamentalism
^UNIT SUPPORT
Can support up to TEN units for free; additional
units cost one shield each.  Settlers eat one
food per turn.  ONLY Theocracies may produce
___ units (Not Available in this Scenario).
^
^HAPPINESS
Under Fundamentalism, NO CITIZEN IS EVER UNHAPPY!
^
^CORRUPTION AND WASTE
Theocracy has a LOW rate of corruption.
However, Theocracy has the special disadvantage that
all SCIENCE is HALVED.
^
^SPECIAL
Improvements which convert unhappy citizens to
content citizens (Temples, etc.)
produce "tithes" equal to the number of citizens they would
otherwise convert.  They also require no maintenance.
The diplomatic penalties for "terrorist acts" committed by
your Diplomats and Plenipotentiaries are reduced.
Under Theocracy, none of the science/tax/luxury rates may
be set higher than 80%%.
^
^HINTS
Theocracy eliminates all happiness problems and provides
an excellent revenue.  Scientific research tends to languish.
Theocracy is in fact Fundamentalism renamed for earlier times.

@PEDIAGOVT5
@width=600
@title=Civilization Government: Republic
^UNIT SUPPORT
Each unit costs one shield per turn.  Settlers eat TWO
food per turn.
^
^HAPPINESS
Each military unit AFTER THE FIRST which is not in a friendly
city (or a fortress within 3 spaces of a friendly city)
causes one citizen in its home city to become unhappy.
^
^CORRUPTION AND WASTE
The Republic has a LOW rate of corruption and waste.  The
level of corruption in a particular city is based on its
distance from your capital.
^
^SPECIAL
Under a Republic, each square which ordinarily produces at
least one unit of trade produces an extra unit.
None of the science/tax/luxury rates may be set higher
than 80%%.
^
^HINTS
Switching to a Republic can give an astounding boost to your
science and tax revenues, although you'll probably have to
divert some of your trade to luxuries.  It becomes more
difficult (and expensive) to keep an army in the field, but
building The Senate wonder can help with this problem.
