There are three ways to win the Fantasy Campaign. However, all civilizations initially have access to the Surface World, and, as the game progresses, acquire access to all of the Worlds. The Elves, Humans and Infidels are most suited to the Surface World, while the Merfolk are most suited to the Undersea World, the Stygians and Goblins to the Underground World, and the Buteo to the Cloud World. The Infidels, a human civilization similar to various nomadic Asiatic and Eastern European peoples.The Humans, a human civilization similar to Dark Ages Europe.
The civilizations of the Fantasy Campaign consist of five fantasy races and two human civilizations: The central difference between Midgard and the Fantasy Campaign are the scripted events and pre-made maps for Midgard. The seven species included each started on a different level.
The four maps of the Fantasy Campaign are the Surface World, the Underground World, the Cloud World, and the Undersea World. Test of Time also included a fantasy world modelled after Norse mythology. Victory can be accomplished by sending a spaceship back to Earth, by building a quantum gate back to Earth, or by conquering the star system. The two species simultaneously learn to talk with each other and expand to the three other maps, which include the orbital platforms around Funestis left there by the ancient Lalandians, a rocky world called Naumachia, and the center of ancient Lalandian culture, the gas giant Nona (the entire planetary system is fictional). The set-up is that the humans along with another species identified only as the "non-humans" both crash land on earth-like Funestis, the second planet. The science-fiction campaign focuses around a mostly fictional planetary system in orbit around the real, nearby star of Lalande 21185. However, on all versions, the "red" slot for a selectable civilization is always occupied by the barbarians (religious fanatics, barbarians, and guerillas) When one built the Alpha Centauri spaceship, instead of ending the game, it unlocked a secondary tech tree and allowed the player to battle the Centaurians. Test of Time also offered the option to undertake the Extended Original campaign, which was identical to the original except that the "pink" slot for a selectable civilization was occupied by aliens on Alpha Centauri. Cosmetically, however, it looked quite different, with all-new art and animated units. The original and extended original campaign Ĭivilization II: Test of Time included an exact replica of the old Sid Meier's Civilization II campaign, with only a few minor changes.
