Mod for civ to make bigger maps

[Zenek]

Hi. Why doesn't exist mode to make a bigger maps to civ1?

It would involve reprogramming the game. Because there is no source code, that would need to be done at the assembly level. Given the convoluted nature of DOS programming, it's unlikely to be an easy task.

Would it be easier for CivWin?

 

[Whelkman]

Doubt it. Win16 timesharing code is arguably worse than DOS. It's too bad the FreeCiv crowd went the Civ 2 direction.

I replied to the other thread before I saw this one, so I'll just quote my own reply, LOL

Download TerraForm and you can make your own maps.

The world is 80 squares wide by 50 squares high, but you can't really use the first or last two rows or columns.

So the practical limit is about 76 x 46. That's a lot of space to work with if you make one huge continent. Give it a try!

Very bad that huge map is so hard to create. Is there anyone who at least try this?

Here's one you might like. Don't worry that the save file says Emperor of the Romans, you can pick any level and any civ when you start
