This page lists a selection of sites of interest to the geography-inclined Civilization II fan. On the left you'll find sites related to Civilization II. On the right you'll find Civilization II map making resources and other geography-related sites. Each of the categories is ordered alphabetically. Some particular favourites of mine are marked up like this.
I will gladly receive new links to include in this listing, especially those of a cartographic kind. However, I will only actually add sites that I think are worth the visit. In any case, if you know any interesting sites, let me know.
