2D Like Civilization 1

[Licentia]

Is that possible? For a scenario to take place on a map like the first Civilization? Has anyone made anything like that?

The old Civilization units moved up and down, left and right, unlike in Civ2 how they move on an angle (3/4 view).

Just wondering if anyone has heard of any scenario or mod that does that. I've found one that makes the units look like Civ1, but how about the map???

Can't you just select that as an option for the game?

I know early on some people had trouble adjusting to the 3/4 view of Civ II so they played it 'flat' like Civ 1 was.

If you can do that, please let me know how. I would be very happy. They probably took it out of the version I bought though.

You could edit the graphic to be square.

You would still have every other row not be allined with the privious, but it would be 2D.

Just make each graphic a 32x32 square.

So what you mean is that it will look terrible...

Some one once made a Civ 1 mod pack for Civ 2 I know its probably not what your looking for but there you can download it in the downloads section if your interested.

Yeah, especially moving horisantaly on the map; you'd skip a row each time.

Do tell more.

I'll start searching.

You can find it in the Civ2 downloads section under "Modpacks".

I'm pretty sure I tried that but will again. I think the mods are still in the 3/4 view, just with Civ1 graphics.

Yes, the squares are isometric, not quadratic like Civ1, but all the units and improvements are Civ1-style. (At least I think so. I never played it myself.)
