I have created yet another fork of Totestra/Perfect world for 2021: Big island. (Updated 2021-10-11: Fix bug with long horizontal coast; add version w/o bug fix as well a version using different random number generator) This puts all of the players on a large single island. It’s possible to...

Since I am not aware of a readily available tool to take a given Civ4 map, and crop it to a rectangle, I made one myself. This is a Python3 script that will, when given the edges of a rectangle to crop a map to and a Civ4 map on standard input, output, on standard output, a cropped version of...

I have gotten Final Frontier Plus (FF+) to run in Windows 10 without having to run the Civilization IV binary as an administrator (which, quite frankly, is a really bad idea in 2017). The only special privileges FF+ needs is the ability to write to ${BEYOND_THE_SWORD}/Mods/Final Frontier Plus...

Sandypelago is a quick and dirty modification to the Archipelago map script which comes with Civ4. This script, instead of generating a bunch of islands in an ocean, generates a bunch of areas with arable land in a desert. This is geared towards desert-themed mods (since as Legends of Ancient...

Since there hasn’t been a new map script here except for Caldera in the last two years, I am adding one: sandLand. This is a quick and dirty modification to the Islands map script which comes with Civ4. This script, instead of generating a bunch of islands in an ocean, generates a bunch...

C-evo is my favorite open-source video game. Steffen Gerlach, the developer, has made a new release this month after a five-year hiatus: http://c-evo.org/files/files.php The new release features new graphics (nation borders are finally clearly visible) and a “wizard” that makes...

I felt that Legends of Ancient Arabia (LoAA), as well as the other Arabian mods like Rhye's Sword of Islam, really deserve their own map script, so I have hacked PerfectWorld/Totestra to make a suitable random map for Arabian adventures. A picture is worth a thousands words, so I have attached...

Since HoF games do allow modded games (global warming mods), I was wondering if there is any interest in allowing people to submit games using maps created with Cephalo's very popular PerfectWorld2 map script. Obviously, non-standard map scripts are not allowed, but PerfectWorld2 is hands down...

Just a heads up the that Civ IV menu list at the top of the page only works on a 1024x600 netbook screen (using Firefox, FWIW [1]) if full screen is enabled via F11 and all non-browser-window items on the screen (menu bar, search bar, etc.) are disabled. Otherwise, the browser attempts to...

Took me a second to find Civilization III in the CivFanatics store: http://astore.amazon.com/civilizationfana?_encoding=UTF8&node=3 Also: When I ordered the Civ IV complete DVD from Amazon, not only did the DVD not have DRM, it had all of Civ4 (Vanilla, Warlords, BtS, Colonization) and...

Last update: August 7, 2021 2021 updates: Fixed dead link, rewrite Totestra. In this rewrite of Totestra, I have made the code a lot closer to the original Perfect World by only retaining Totestra’s most essential features (see below for full feature list). People who wish to use the older...
