Huh, accomplished heroic deed, I read this thread from start to finish!
And that led to that, I applied for the forum, as it could have been expected!
I reviewed my memory banks and numerous records for good flash drive solution for a time killer - and end my chose exactly on
CivWin. I had very funny week with little time to sleep, and fully remembered how addicted I was to Civ1 some 17yrs ago. But I remembered also a my nice heavily hacked 'adjusted' version of Civ, with 2moves settlers, 2food per irrigation, slightly different terrain and special resources and so on and on...
It was DOS for sure, I sometime mastered almost every bit of *.sve file and most of data fields at Civ.exe, even some features of *.map in hex editor, but that was long, long time ago, and I almost giving up programming since then.
So I found this site - in hope someone already wrote an editor for it, but...
Found
THIS TERRAFORM !!!
I got a copy instantly, and as soon as I get to my old city apartment antique gaming comp (it will not happen until next month), I generate key request and then go to find a comp with net connection to send it to Dack! And the madness of Civ will start over again!!!
Newer seen it yet, but what I read convinced me that it's probably the best ever utility written for CivDOS!
Again,
Dack ,
You even resolved mistery of AI settling habits!
Is there opportunity to control these terrain worth values manually? I always had a daydream for a scenario, where I can with some certainty to control where AI buld city's!
Thanks for the invested work, in such a pointless exercise as utility for 20-year old DOS game!
