List of civilizations in Civ2

Civilization II added seven new nations to the fourteen found in Sid Meier's Civilization, with the same color-coding principle.

Like in "Civilization", no more than seven may exist at one time, and any destroyed early are reincarnated by another of the same color if available.

Civilization Team Color chart
Only one civilization per color, per game

WHITE	Romans	Russians	Celts
GREEN	Babylonians	Zulus	Japanese
BLUE	Germans	French	Vikings
YELLOW	Egyptians	Aztecs	Spanish
TEAL	Americans	Chinese	Persians
ORANGE	Greeks	English	Carthaginians
PURPLE	Indians	Mongols	Sioux
RED	Barbarians (NPC)*

While Barbarians do not act like regular NPCs in this game (they just attack and pillage), they can take over a city and produce units (but will not produce Settlers to expand).

Also, a close examination of the software reveals that the Arabs and Incas were originally meant to be playable civilizations in the game. One need only replace another available civilization's information with that of these "missing" ones in order to play them.

It is also possible to edit the game's data files in order to add a custom civilization. With a higher level of skill and some specialized computer programs, it's even possible to edit the leader portraits to create a custom tribe.
