Civ1 clone in Civ3

[Theov]

Hi all,

I'm in my winter vacation now and I'm making a Civ1 game/clone (well, not a clone, but you know what I mean) within Civ3.
So I'm trying to emulate a Civ1 game, by editing the Civ3 rules.
The goal is to make an as close to real Civ1 ruleset - but with a Civ3 interface.

If you wish to help out, or if you have thought about this yourself before please go to the thread in in the Civ3 Customization subforum or send me a PM.

I have posted the second version of Civ1 into Civ3 on the Civ3 forums (see link in the OP).

Hi @Theov

Sadly the Civ1 forum is a bit quiet these days but a few people lurk here still.

You're not alone in your dream of a Civ1 like experience in other Civ games. Some people probably think we're mad haha but there's just something fun about making another Civ game look and feel like the original game that started it all for so many of us. I've been doing a number of investigations into this as I plan to cover these mods in a video series I'm making so here's my results.

There is a Civ1 mod for Civ2 by @CivPartisan that myself, @Kasius Klej and @Metro Polis took and heavily modified into an even bigger mod. I 'demastered' all the world graphics (terrain, cities, units) and @Kasius Klej took it and did even more crazy stuff with animating diplomacy screens and Civ1 style rulesets etc.

There were a number of Civ1 mods for Civ3 however sadly most are lost to time or didn't get finished. You'll find the full results of my investigations in a post at the link below. I've managed to successfully speak with some of the authors and they're looking for their files. I've found all the units, hopefully Matrix will find his terrain graphics, and we've got a city graphic that could be imported. Sadly Ville has lost his custom rulesets so your new project will definitely be super useful!

There's a finished Civ1 terrain set for Civ4 by Flobi as well however sadly it's been lost to time so hopefully someone comes forward with it. I'm not aware of any other Civ1 mods for Civ4.. eg a rulesets mod. But will keep looking.

Not aware of any Civ1 mods for Civ5 or Civ6 at this point in time. Younger fan bases so probably less interest plus harder to mod those ones lol.
