Left and right keys or tap. Or press space. I FINALLY BEAT CIV 2! This is the first time I've ever beat a Civ game ever. Granted, it was on @Ashurbanipal_II's awesome Ancient Civilisation RP scenario, and I was on chieftain, and I oftentimes used save/loading if I made a wrong move, but still, it's a victory. I won by playing as Galliformae, immediately conquering Tzi-Por, and then attacking Bezz-Urk (with a small war against Srivigupta in between). After I captured the city of Bezz-Urk I declared war on Naeshus aa Bananak, captured Arbela (Bezz-Urk's later capital, in Eutra), captured the south-western cities aa Bananak, and then went on to capture Aetennib. I probably couldn't have done this not on Chieftain, though, because I only managed to by quickly getting iron-working and mathematics through the trade the other civilisations had and capturing their cities. After capturing Aetennib I made peace with Naeshus aa Bananak and spent the final turns of the game making various improvements across my nation.
