Hey, can someone explain something to me about Civ II (yes, II)? I'm playing it for the first time and am confused by how turns and movement works. Supposedly, a unit has a set number of movement points (e.g. 2 for a horseman). After that unit moves two squares, its turn is supposed to be over, right?

But I can seemingly keep moving my unit for quite a while before it starts flashing signalling end of movement.

It's confusing me with regards to when a turn ends and how progression toward building a unit, etc., works. Anyone explain?

It's about goddamn time they released the SDK. Maybe now someone can code up a better combat system. A SMAC-like one, for preference.

Buy Civ4 now, and wait a few months until Oblivion gets some nice patches too. Oblivion's a little unpolished atm, imho.
