Ahh! While doing my lost Civ2 websites search I came across John Valdez's old website called Civilization Partisans Hideout, thought of @CivPartisan here, looked at some of his early history, and sure enough he and the great John Valdez who did so many amazing modpacks back in the day are one and the same!
@CivPartisan is still semi-active so if you see this thread John then I hope you don't mind that we tinkered around with your old work and did some crazy stuff with it lol! In summary I took your mod and 'demastered' it to original Civ1 graphics and then @Kasius Klej took it even further did a huge modpack with all sorts of things including custom herald replacements.
