DOS Tileset for Civilization for Macintosh
This is a port of the 'DOS tileset for CivWin' graphics mod created by @honza.havlicek to the Macintosh version of Civilization. This port was possible because the Mac & Windows 3.1 versions of Civ appear to share the same codebase, and more importantly use identical graphics assets meaning that the existing Civilization for Windows mod tools (also created by @honza.havlicek) can be used on the Mac files.
Please bear in mind that I have never owned a Mac before, and figured out the bare minimum to get Civ running in an emulated environment. Therefore this mod has been tested with precisely one configuration, the Basilisk II emulator emulating a Quadra 900 running MacOS 8.1.
The mod is currently distributed as a floppy disk using the 'dsk' format with a single file on it, the modified 'Civ Data 4' file. To use the mod, simply back up your original version of 'Civ Data 4' on your hard drive and replace it with the version from the disk. Only the 256 colour graphics have been modified, the black and white graphics have not.
The mod is based on the 256 colour version of the CivWin graphics mod I tweaked to use the original CivDOS Civ colours rather than Honza's original. You can see the version history for this mod here.
I'd appreciate anyone with Mac knowledge giving it a try and letting me know how it goes with alternative configurations (even real hardware? that would be cool!). And indeed whether there's a better way to distribute the file. Presumably early 90s Macs have an equivalent to WinZip which would be more sensible than a floppy disk. Thanks.

DOS tileset for CivWin
DOS Tileset for Civilization I for Windows After an incredibly long time (3 weeks), I have finished the DOS version tileset for CivWin. It required quite a lot of time, effort and patience. However, IT IS DONE! Although I do realize, that CivWin is not as popular as DOS version due to...
