Settlers 2 Tips
                 (and a personal viewpoint)

                      From Bev Truter

Re the clues in a previous issue of SynTax, some might have been a
hoax. Typing "V" does indeed appear to double the speed; but
typing THUNDER does absolutely nothing, only puts up the
post-office menu when you reach the "N", as that's the key for the
post-office window. But the "V" method was quite helpful, makes
everything run along at a very rapid rate. Another thing I noticed
in S2 was that mines seem to get exhausted very quickly, and the
farms only produce 4 or 5 circles of wheat at the most; and I
*still* think S1 has much cuter graphics. However, the gameplay in
S2 more than makes up for the decrease in cuteness, it's
definitely trickier to "win" in S2, and the opponents are horribly
strong.
