Special resources pattern

[Oncle Boris]

Hey guys!

I can't for the life of me recall the specials pattern. I know there used to be great threads documenting the whole thing.

Since I'm running Civ2 on MacOS with Wine, no Map Editor for me. And I've searched the archives to no avail. Well I did find something on Apolyton, but only the text has been archived, not the pictures themselves.

Would anyone be kind enough to post a link, or re-write an explanation?

I found this thread, but the graphics are missing: https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...ecials-slow-dl-over-400-kb-of-graphics.27898/
I'm not sure if they're buried at a different location on Civfanatics... I couldn't find 'em though, which is a shame.

I'm not sure which Apolyton thread you found, but I found an archive of this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20150327205823/http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/20497-Info-Settlers-Engineers-(GL)
If you go to Page 2, and scroll about 3/4 of the way down, there's a post with big red text that says "The original text (it includes also pictures):". Here is the file that was attached there, and it does seem to include images. Section 2.5.5 shows the pattern for specials and huts.

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but it's something at least.

Unfortunately the pictures in that thread are also gone but it should give you a lot of useful info.
