[search for a game] Great Nation

[Onkel Zorn]

Hello everybody,

in 1997, there was made a game like Civilisation with the name Great Nation.
It was a game looks like Civilisation1 and it was shareware.
It was build for an Amiga, PC with Windows and Linux.
I don´t know the name of the team, i only know, that it was a finnish team.
In 2001, the last version 1.6.2 was made, in this time as freeware.

My questions
Do anybody knows a download link?
Do anybody have this game? The source code?

Here is a screenshot about that game.



I hope that someone could help me.

Thank you,
Yours Mathias

I think I have it somewhere but old version on Amiga shareware cd's. I played PC version maybe 2 years ago on my old broken desktop. I think you can try to search on Aminet: http://aminet.net/

But I am not sure if it is still there...

Hello Fanatic Noob,

thank you for helping me.
On the website http://aminet.net/ I can not find the game.

I have looked on many other Amiga sites.
However, the web links to "Great Nation" always led to brand website.
The page no longer exists.
The Amiga version would not be wrong.
If someone could convert them so they work with WinUAE on the PC.

Greetings,
Mathias

I am experienced Amiga user, so if I will find such version I can help to configure WinUAE to run it anyway... I think I had downloaded PC version on my broken old desktop, but I cannot connect it's hdd to my current one, because of warranty. Anyway I will keep looking on my cd's for Amiga version, but I think it could be not so recent one you posted picture.

The image could be of the latest version. 1.6.2.
If it is now not the newest version, it doesnt matter.
I am interested to find out the differences between the different games of civilization.
Civilization evolution provides some interesting changes from the Sid Maier series.
The same applies to CTP1 and 2 or Freeciv.

Well, I played Civ-Evo, and it was interesting a bit. Especially unit creation like ins SMAC/SMAX and also was good future government where was no food surplus production. Freeciv had few interesting changes about how palace work in despotism and monarchy and so, but I still miss civics like in Civ4 in this game. CTP1 and CTP2 is other board of Civ games, where are few interesting governments and future techs/wonders.

I found one of the owner/programmers of great nation and ask him for the source code.
If this source code still exist and I get it, then I will inform you.
