FPGA Powering PCB Guidelines??

Could someone provide some PCB design guidelines concerning powering my EP3C16Q240 FPGA? I can only use a 2 layer design, and I need 1.2 V to power the FPGA core and 2.5 V to power all the I/O buffer...

yes, make those supply traces as WIDE ;) as you can.

but don't forget the return current on GND for powersupply nets and IOs as well
