HELP! Civ II on a laptop?
Hi!
My friend is a real Civ II fan, and we've gotten a laptop. The problem: the laptop (a gateway) has no number pad, and my friend says Civ II isn't as playable on just the four arrow keys.
Does anyone know of a way to alter Civ II to make it more playable on a laptop?
Thanks,
Ampersand

my laptop (HP) has a number pad, i just have to push the Fn key and the F8 key to toggle it on. of course this toggles off useful features like the m and i keys.
if your laptop lacks a similar feature, IIRC you can hold the mouse over the square you want to go to and click and hold left button, which should bring up a little go icon. release to go.
also you could get a keyboard and mouse and just plug them in (i've heard other laptop civers prefer this method).

Aaargh! Where were you a year ago, when I started playing Civ on my Dell?! The number of mouse-mistake wars this could have prevented in innumerable! 
Seriously, thanks. great info!
