The sooner a player conquers every other civilization, or the space ship arrives, the better as far as scoring is concerned. The player can continue playing after all civilizations have been conquered, the spaceship has reached its destination, or the year 2020, but there will no longer be any scoring. If the spaceship does not reach Alpha Centauri by then, the game will simply end with the current score. The space race can be much more difficult because there are a limited number of turns in the game, which ends in the year 2020. There are two paths to victory (and bonus points to the score) in this game: to be the last civilization remaining or to build a spaceship and reach Alpha Centauri before any of the other civilizations.

Amusingly, when the player is experiencing anarchy, the characters begin talking at the same time, interrupting each other, and finally beginning to fight, with all counselor windows shutting down and turning into the "A" symbol of Anarchy. In many ways, the 'High Council' constitutes a bit of comic relief, especially from the expansionist "military" adviser, who will insist on more troops even when the player has 60 battleships, or during the Medieval Period will sing the last refrain from the 18th Century English traditional song " Down Among the Dead Men", punctuated with a hearty "No complaints, sire!". The counselors' costumes change with each new era. They often argue with and insult one another, as each advisor's department demands a different set of priorities. The council consists of film clips of actors portraying advisors in the areas of the military (a brawny man, often drunk, angry or both he becomes a stereotypical American general when Modern Age is reached), economics (a smooth-talking merchant, later a snooty and suave businessman), diplomacy (in the Modern Age, a saucy femme fatale with a vaguely Eastern European accent), technological progress (a nerdy scientist), and the people's happiness (an Elvis Presley caricature, wearing sunglasses even in the Ancient period). The player has the ability to consult the 'High Council' for advice (as long as the player still has the CD in the drive).
Legions cost more to produce but have greater attack and defense values some new units are added such as stealth bomber and stealth fighter. For instance, engineers and settlers can be automated to improve surrounding areas, but no longer ignore enemy zones of control. The game features entirely new concepts, such as firepower and hit points, and changes to some units' abilities and strengths. The river is just part of each topography square it flows through, adding productive value, defensive bonuses and movement ability. Rivers no longer occupy the whole of each tile along its length.
The AI was improved as well, including the elimination of most random events (such as the situation where Wonders of the World were built spontaneously in the original Civilization ) by now making the computer player go through the same production requirements as the human player. The graphics were changed from a top-down view to an isometric representation. Civilization II is similar to the first Civilization, with some changes to the various units, civilizations, world wonders, tile "specials" and technologies.
