I've seen no evidence that the alpine troop behaves differently than its numbers suggest.

Ok it was markusf that suggested this and as he seems to be a fountain of knowledge i thought i would double check here first..

In my games, I typically don't bother with alpines or marines, although I find them defending AI cities regularly. IMO, these have different uses. I won't hesitate to use my attacking marines or alpines to defend a newly taken city, though.
I generally get bronze working as fast as I can, then it's a long way to gunpowder and musketeers. Riflemen are next, with the last upgrade being Mechanized Infantry. At these points are where I bother to upgrade my defensive units. I noticed a while back that it leads to a certain vulnerability if I have some cities defended by riflemen, and some still only have a phalanx!

Ok my question was more related to an MP situation late in game, but i figured most wealth of knowledge when it comes to Civ 2 resides in this forum 
In MP you better have better than Musketters when hte howies come prowling, you wont necessarily have Mech inf yet.
Also why do you use Alpines to attack, they werent given much of an attack factor, I find in MP that people throw them agsint me and lose them so easily.
Thanks for your comments though

OK, answered in "Info: Combat": no firepower effect, a normal combat.

Does the battleship get the bonus for being fortified??
I know that you can fortify ships in port, but I don't know if they get the defense bonus.

No, they don't gain the bonus, altho the dirt entrenchment appears. It only helps land units.
