From what I can tell, the colors are imposed. The actual in game colors are determined at game time. Red-shirted double unhappy are probably using the same sprite as the regular unhappy with a different palette.

I'm starting to understand why it takes a month and a half for the original program to get to the choose a difficulty menu...thanks everyone for your help :).

So, I'm halfway through page 14 of TerraForm -- a map editor for CIV dos...apparently I picked a time to do this where I can't actually get TerraForm. Still haven't found too much help on the idea of saving this as far as the ordering of the file itself, but I've seen a lot of things that one...

I never thought so highly about the caravans until reading about them on here this past week. I've been working a lot lately, but in my next game, I plan on trying them out more heavily.

I am also hoping someone has a copy of this. I used to, but I can't find it either. I think it would be a help in my own mapmakermaking endeavor in html5.

Oh how weird, I never thought I'd find a pattern of the actual land mass, but it seems that it is this XX XO where X is land and O is ocean. I've loaded 3 random maps so far and found no squares violating the pattern. And I thought about it, with that pattern, one needs not do a chasing...

Normal bonuses are in a pattern...grassland ones are...makes one wonder if I'll find the same thing with villages...and perhaps other things... By the way, the script has been updated with the grassland pattern.

Grasslands pattern detected...will likely update soon:

Okay, so I update for it to add rivers, show the map faster, go a little lighter on the mountains (still haven't taken care of the Chrome...I don't see any mountains now in Chrome), take out the supposedly invalid diagonal ocean squares (and randomly @75% the single ocean squares just for good...

@UD Thanks for updating that for me. :) I had looked at the old script a little, when contemplating making this, but I'm not too familiar with python. I essentially came up with the logic in mine while laying in bed not sleeping for a few hours envisioning the growing continents like you see...

jpciv, thanks. Is this the thread: TerraForm -- a map editor for CIV dos? And, would you mind screenshoting an example of the edge errors you're seeing. I'm not seeing it, I guess. Thanks again. :) It looks like this (below) is the pattern of the resources in the original, offset by a...

This is a random map script I've been working on: http://tech.flobi.com/test/civmap/ (previously: until 20101106) (previously: until 20101107) I know, it seems a little heavy on the mountains sometimes (except in Chrome where they're all but absent...though Chrome is a wizard at the speed of...

Sorry, haven't been here in a bit. I'm going to have to say no to that though. When you start the game, feel free to move one right before building a city. In Civ1, that was the starting location. I did make sure to map the starting locations in the same place as in Civ1.

No. The files are a similar size to the original. The dimentions of the terrain images is actually the same as the ones used in the blue marble mod.

I'll take a look at it. The rivers work a lot differently in civ1 than civ4. There are some things the rivers simply cannot do in one than the other and vice versa.
