Hello all. I have a couple of questions about modding ToT. I have done some very gentle modding of vanilla Civ 2, so I have an idea of the basics, but there are a couple of aspects of ToT that are currently beyond me.
1) I don't have the knowledge or interest to make animated sprites. Is there any way to use non-animated stills as my unit graphics in ToT? Or is there a way to trick ToT into thinking that my non-animated graphics are in fact sprites?
2) In ToT, gaining access to a new map can unlock events. For instance, getting to Naumachia in the sci-fi game automatically gives you some advanced tech whose name I don't recall. I would like to do the same thing in my mod: accessing a new map grants a new (otherwise unobtainable) technology. Any ideas how I can go about doing that?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I hope this will help my father-and-sons modding project to get off the ground!
