1650 Graphics Update - #86	St. Leo

Historical Renovation
1650 (Civ2)

I've updated the graphics for this cool CiC (and FW and MGE) scenario. However, the rules and starting conditions have remained untouched so the AI can still get Ironclads too early etc.

1937 - #14	R Lawrence

Historical Scenario
1937 (Civ2)

R. Lawrence's first scenario - "1937" - is an attempt to overcome several quirks of the game by taking into account 'blitzkreig' warfare, giving carriers the capacity to attack air units, and the removal of railroads as well as troop transporters.

Yes. Despite what the game engine wants us to think, it IS entirely possible for two cities to coexist in touching hexes. Why? A simple blunder in the Advanced Start option that may be exloited for scenario use.

Are ye mad , or in a trance?
Waken, gentlemen of France!
See your lilied flags are flapping,
And your Marshall is caught napping

Though the third of us are slain,
  Though Sieur Villeroy is taken,
  And the lilied flags are shaken,
  Till our tardy comrades waken
We keep the town.
An Irish song.

Birth of America - #73	Michael Daumen

Historical Scenario
1703 (Civ2)

Until now, the colonies of the New World have avoided the squabbles of their home countries. But as the death of the Spanish monarch ignites a crisis of succession, Europe realizes that the resources and markets of North America may prove pivotal to victory.

So the battle is joined on this side of the Atlantic. England, Spain, and France struggle for supremacy from Hudson Bay to the Caribbean Sea; from their European shores to the mighty Mississippi. There are both allies and enemies amongst the mercurial native tribes, and in certain colonies which suspect that Independence could end foreign meddling once and for all . . . .

Civ Converter 1.4 - #119	Angelo Scotto

ToT Utility
(Civ2)

Like the name itself say, CivConverter is a program capable to transform Civ2 Scenarios into Civ2TOT compatibile version. It is able to convert exactly all scenarios for Civ2 (except for those scenarios which use Major Objective Flags), this means all Civ2 & CiC scenarios, a lot of FW scenarios and near all MGE scenarios.

CivConverter is also capable to convert graphic files only, if you just want to convert some wonderful Civ2 icons into your TOT Scenario. Now i've added some simple error checking,eliminated virtually all differences between Civ2 classic scenarios and Tot converted versions; Ok, I still have problems with the Renaissance cities (read below).

Still no GUI (have some patience...).

CivCity 1.3 - #27	Gothmog

Scenario Utility
(Civ2)

~ Changes these city parameters: City owner and founder, build queue item, food and shield boxes
~ City improvements can be added or deleted.
~ Set or unset these city flags: build coastal improvments, build ships, sold improvement, tech stolen, we love the king day, disorder, build hydro power.
~ Change these trade fields: supplied and demanded items, supplied and demanded items satisfied flag, trade route cities and commodities including food

CivHot 1.3 - #28	Gothmog

MP Utility
(Civ2)

CivHot can be used to create multiplayer hot seat game from a single palyer Civilization II Scenario file. It is intended for Classic Civilization II, Conflicts in Civilization, and Fantastic Worlds saved files. If you have Multiplayer Gold Edition or Test of Time, you don't need this program.

CivSprite 1.0 - #62	Mercator

Graphics Utility
(Civ2)

CivSprite is a fairly simple converter for Civilization II: Test of Time sprite files. With this program you can export the images contained in such sprite files to bitmaps, and import them again into existing sprite files.

CivStack - #30	Mercator

Scenario Utility
(Civ2)

A nice and simple utility to add fortresses or airbases to your maps. You can pick which terrains to add them to.

This is mainly for those who'd like to see their scenarios allow unit stacks (and don't have entire stacks killed).

Airbases are really only interesting for ToT, since there they don't have the city properties like acting as irrigated/railroaded land etc. And of course, even then only in scenarios without air units.

If you want the details on what use this utility really is, ask techumseh, John Ellis, FMK and others, since they're the ones who asked for it.

Just unzip and run (the program, that is ), it should need no further explanation (and if it does, just ask me here).

If it doesn't run, download the VB6 runtime files from my MapEdit website.

Oh yes... and let me know if you encounter any bugs. It's not entirely unlikely there still are some (so backing up the savegames/scenarios before running them through CivStack is a good idea).

CivTweak 1.5 - #26	Gothmog

Scenario Utility
(Civ2)

~ You can change barbarian form of government and gold levels.
~ You can change the default difficulty level that a scenario starts at.
~ You can change the level of barbarian activity.
~ You can set the bloodlust option on or off.
~ You can enable extra tribes if you started with less than 7. You'll still have to go into the scenario and add the units and cities. This just makes the tribe show up on the menu.
~ You can make the city style for played tribes agree with the city style stated in the rules.txt file. Normally what you see for the tribe you play is the bronze age graphic slot, unless it was the starting tribe when you created the saved game, (which was correctly displayed).

908 (Civ2)

"Thenceforth, when any Shah Ascended to the throne, and donned the crown He hung the worthless apron of the smith With still more jewels, sumptuous brocade And painted silk." -Firdowsi, 'Shahnameh'

GifXTractor Beta 3 - #118	Rune Berge

Graphics Utility
(Civ2)

GIF Xtractor is a program for modifying the GIF images in the Civilization II image library dlls. Unlike the beta 1 version it will not work properly on other files, unless they have the same format as the Civ2 dlls. You cannot edit the images in the progam. Only load and save them to and from the dlls. To edit the images I recommend Paint Shop Pro which can be downloaded from http://www.jasc.com.

The program should be fairly easy to use. Use the File menu to open the dll you want to edit. Then use the Image menu to insert and extract GIFs. The GIFs you insert into the dlls must not exceed the maximum size (in bytes) specified in the listview on the left. Also, for the GIFs to work properly with Civ2 they must be saved with GIF version 87a, noninterlaced. They should also have the same dimensions and color palette as those they are replacing (though this is not always required).

Graphics Workshop - #110	Catfish

Tips Thread
(Civ2)

I'm starting a thread to establish a repository of resources useful for the creation of Civ2 graphics. This includes tutorials, websites, tips, and links to old, buried threads. Information relating to all categories of graphics, ie, units, terrains, cities, people, icons, ToT sprites and improvements, in either 8-bit or 24-bit, will be appreciated. This is not intended as a showcase - the sticky threads are for this purpose ? but a workshop for graphics creators.

Great Game - #76	Michael Daumen

ToT Historical Scenario
1800 (Civ2)

"Now I shall go far and far into the north, playing the Great Game."
-- Rudyard Kipling, 1901

It is the height of the Pax Britannica. While Europe's continental empires scramble to check the British Empire in Africa and the Pacific, England's greatest fears are becoming reality in one of the most desolate spots on the globe. For Russia has expanded swiftly across the eastern steppes, and if she finds a way across the roof of the world, the shining jewel of India lays before her.

But only the tsar knows for sure if Russia's aim is India or Turkey -- and access to the Mediterranean.

Now England and Russia seek strategic control of the region, unseen by white men since the days of Marco Polo. But the fierce warriors and opulent rulers of Central Asia will not submit to imperialism lightly.

Götterdämmerung - #135	Jim Panse

Historical Scenario
1944 (Civ2)

"We are falling. We will drag the world with us into the abyss."
- Joseph Goebbels

It is now October 1944, and Hitler just left the Wolfsschanze and returned to the Reichskanzlei in Berlin. It seems that the end of the Third Reich is drawing nearer and nearer. Sitting in the Bunker under the Reichskanzlei Hitler awaits the Judgement of Destiny. His daemonic vision of his end has come very, very close. Hitler´s Götterdämmerung is about to happen soon ...

Habsburg Bid for Mastery - #77	Michael Daumen

Historical Scenario
1526 (Civ2)

"Henceforth, like the doubleheaded black eagle in the imperial coat of arms, the Habsburgs had two heads at Vienna and Madrid, looking east and west."
-Mamatey

The year is 1526. Suleiman's Ottoman armies have slain the Hungarian king at Mohacs, ending all claims to Habsburg possessions in Central Europe. Charles V has been both Holy Roman Emperor and king of Spain since 1519, the culmination of centuries of shrewd marriages and politics. But he has also inherited his family's enemies: the Valois of France, who covet the rich cities of Italy; the Turks, who will not stop in Hungary; and the English Tudors, always anxious to curb the power of continental rivals. Underlying these struggles, a debate begun by a guilt-wracked monk named Martin Luther will prove the most perilous threat of all. Already German princes harbor Protestant preachers, and the Low Countries welcome the new religion with open arms. The stigma of excommunication means little to those who have renounced papal authority; perhaps Castillian Castilian arms and the riches of the New World can tip the balance . . . .

Hearts of Iron Units - #83	Wilhelm II

Imperial Ambition 1.5 - #42	St. Leo

AltHist Scenario
(Civ2)

In 1492, Spain sufferred a crushing defeat at the hands of the puny forces of the Emirate of Granada. France declared war immediately and by 1500 the continent was aflame. Only three principalities noticed an event of equal importance ignored by everyone else.

In that fateful year "India" & "Japan" were reached by a man whose name was lost to history. Instead of circum-navigating Africa as the Portuguese were doing before being pulled into the Spanish War, he sailed across the watery expanse that is the Atlantic and reached the Orient...

Venice has fallen on hard times with the rise of the hostile Ottoman and Mamluke powers in the ports of the Near East.

Karl XII - #10	Markus Eklund

Historical Scenario
1707 (Civ2)

Markus Eklund's "Karl XII" (Vers. 2.0) focuses on Sweden's invasion of Russia. Karl XII thought the best way to defeat Russia was to strike at the heart of the Russian empire, at their old capital Moscow. In 1707 he began marching towards Russia with his army, probabaly the best trained and most modern army in Europe. Requires FW.

Kosovo War - #16	Joff

Little Big Ice Age That Could, The - #67	St. Leo

AltHist Scenario
(Civ2)

"In Chamonix at the foot of Mont Blanc, people watched in fear as the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) glacier advanced. In earlier years, they had seen the slowly flowing ice engulf farms and crush entire villages. They turned to the Bishop of Geneva for help, and he made the journey to Chamonix. At the ice front he performed a rite of exorcism. Little by little, the glacier receded."

The Fifteenth Century saw the end of the Medieval Warm Period and the beginning of the Little Ice Age. In some parts, all of the snow no longer melted in the summer and gradually the world's glaciers began to grow to truly Continental dimensions. With so much water being stored in land ice, sea levels around the world dropped dramatically.

In the meantime, a pesky little primate species was beginning to get truly interested in technology and exploration. Europe and Asia discovered each other and a search for shortcuts added the Americas to the global community.

However, to contemporary Europeans, these events were nowhere near as important as the growing power of the Habsburgs. Research and development, formerly focused on agricultural techniques because of the falling harvests, once again turned its sights onto the topic of war.

This scenario achieved Third Place in the Fourth Scenario Design Contest.

Lord of the Rings - #18	Ian Thompson

Fantasy Scenario

Ian Thompson brings the classic Tolkien tale 'Lord of the Rings' to Civ2 Test of Time. Using the 'fantasy game' base, this scenario includes an extensive events file to unfold the journey of Frodo the Hobbit. Requires ToT.

SciFi Modpack
3000 (Civ2)

John Valdez's "Lunar Mission Modpack" for Civilization II versions 1.08 to 2.42. is a test of "What if we colonized the Moon?". Nations compete to build and dominate the Lunar surface, while dissident humans break off from these bases and form the "Lunarites". The goal is to unite the Moon through conquest or build a spaceship and let them have that pulverized chunk o' rock! Inspired by Frederic Meunie's Moonland Modpack.

MapCopy 1.beta1 - #64	James Dustin Reichwein

Map Utility
(Civ2)

MapCopy is a utility for copying map information between Civ2 saved game files and saved map files. It supports Fantastic Worlds and Multiplayer Gold Edition files, and has been tested on on Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0. It WILL NOT support MS-DOS or Windows 3.1. Nor will it support versions of Civ 2 prior to Fantastic Worlds, or TOT. It is able to copy resource seed, terrain, improvement, visibility, ownership, civ specific view, fertility, and other types of information between .SAV files and .MP files. It can also calculate values for fertility if needed.

MapEdit 2.1 - #63	Mercator

Map Utility
(Civ2)

MapEdit is a versatile Civilization II map editing tool. Among other things, it can convert Civ2 maps to bitmaps and vice versa, import maps from any Civ2 savegame or scenario, create maps with a surface larger than 10,000 (up to 32,767), place civilization starting locations (you can even put more starting locations on the same square), and swap terrains.

Exports to cEvo are supported.

The European Map Maker is a bitmap of Europe and surrounding areas ready to be converted into Civ2 map format using MapEdit.

With the palette pack I've tried to make it easier on those of you making maps for these different Test of Time games. It is a set of additional MapEdit palettes, each corresponding to one of these worlds.

MapUtility 1.1 - #61	C.A. Flinchbaugh

Map Utility
(Civ2)

Using it is fairly straightfoward. Right now there are two main operations the program does... you can "Open to Convert" a map file or "Save As" a map file. Other operations like "New" and "Print" are displayed in the menu but are not implemented - yet.

You can load any map format listed in Open and save any map format in any order... it doesn't matter. You can resize maps from the same game if you want. When you "Save As" you are prompted to enter a horizontal and vertical size for the output map. It tells you what constitutes a legal size for that game map and won't save an illegal sized map.

John Valdez's "Mars Patch" offers the ability to play a different planet. Very similar to FW: Mars Now! Scenario, this Mars patch has more units, terrain changes, Martian Canals, and additional rules. Also, there are four Martian Maps to play that reflect the challenging dry, cratered Mars that everyone imagines. Successfully playtested with Civ2 version 2.42.

Modern Age - #19	Exile

Historical Scenario
1492 (Civ2)

Exile presents 'The Modern Age': At the close of the 15th century, the Modern Age dawned. This was the age of nation states and their absolutist monarchs; Phillip II, Charles V, Louis XIV, Henry VIII, Elizabeth and Isabella. An age of enthusiasm for war opened with the roar of the new cannons and the steady advance of the Ottoman Turks into Europe.

Moscow - #78	Michael Daumen

Historical Scenario
1263 (Civ2)

"Scratch a Russian and you will find a Tatar."
-Russian proverb

"The first Rome collapsed owing to its heresies, the second Rome fell victim to the Turks, but a new and third Rome has sprung up in the North . . . . A fourth there shall not be."
-Philotheus

In 1263, the Russian hero Aleksandr Nevsky (pictured) willed to his son Daniel a backwater village on the north banks of the Moskva River. Despite invasions from both east and west, and the treacherous politics of Rus', the village of Moscow rose to become the capital of a mighty state that claimed the holy mantle of empires past.

Napoleon - #11	Timothy Came

Historical Scenario
1793 (Civ2)

Timothy Came's "Napoleon" (Vers 1.0) starts in 1793 just after King Louis XVI has being executed. Europe is in a state of shock following this act, and soon after this France (already at war with Austria and Sardinia) declears war on Holland, Spain and Britain. However at this time France is in a very difficult position, the treasury is empty, the army is in a state of chaos and the country is facing famine. Facing these problems France's chances seemed very slim, but by 1796 Napoleon Bonepart was given command of the Armee' de Italia and in just under a year had conqured much of Nothern Italy and forced Austria to surrender. Requires FW.

Napoleonic Eagles - #7	Markus Eklund

Historical Scenario
1805 (Civ2)

Markus Eklund's "The Napoleonic Eagles" is a scenario that starts in 1805 and ends in 1814 (so you don't get to fight at Waterloo). You play as Napoleon himself and your goal is to create a strong, unified Europe under French leadership. Requires FW.

Orient Express 1.0 - #84	St. Leo

Historical Scenario
1835 (Civ2)

The "Orient Express" proper runs from Calais and Paris to Bucharest, passing through France, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania. Then there is the closely-associated "Simplon-Orient Express," which makes its way farther south, through Switzerland, Italy and Yugoslavia.

From Nish, in Yugoslavia, there is a connection for Athens, while the main part goes on through Bulgaria to Istanbul (formerly known as Constantinople) in Turkey. Finally, returning to the north, the "Ostend-Vienna Express" connects with the "Orient Express" at the latter city, providing a through link with North Germany and Belgium. The "Orient Express" links up with the "Simplon-Orient Express" by a connection between Budapest and Belgrade. Such, in outline, are the ramifications of the "Orient Express" and its associated services.

Your goal in this scenario is to build the Orient Express!

Rape of Nations 1.1, The - #68	Kobayashi

Historical Scenario
1500 (Civ2)

"Who so commands the seas commands the trade of the world; Who so commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world." - Sir Walter Raleigh.

In the 300 years lasting from 1500 to 1800, the seafaring European nations will undergo a huge era of expansion via colonization. As colonization progresses, (the map will turn blue) one nation will emerge as the first global superpower.

You will win if you are that superpower - within the 300 years timeframe. Ultimately the race to colonize was as much a test of economic might as well as military might. TRON captures this aspect. To win you must be the only player (including the AI-only races) touching the top of civilization power graph in 1800. You will need to be very rich to accomplish this. There can be no joint winners so if more than one power touches the top at the end, all players lose. This might require tactics different from what you are used to. For instance, it may not to your advantage to kill off a weaker player when he has little chance of winning but can help you weaken a stronger power. Also, you typically have more to gain by attacking the AI-only powers as they will always max out on the power graph if left unchecked.

This scenario achieved First Place in the Fourth Scenario Design Contest.

Historical Scenario
1918 (Civ2)

On Nov. 7, 1917, the Bolshevik (Communist) Party, led by Vladimir Illych Lenin, seized power in Petrograd, the capital of Russia. Over the next ten days they won power in Moscow and the rest of the country. The Bolsheviks were anxious for peace with the Germans in order to consolidate power in Russia, and opened negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. Failure by Trotsky to agree to the German terms led to a German offensive, and the Bolsheviks were forced to conclude the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918, after losing huge territories.

Text Commands - #105	Allard Hoefelt

Tips Thread
(Civ2)

Let us bring into public knowledge what I wanted to keep for myself.:)

Not all of these function everywhere, eg. they do not work in events, menus, etc. Also, some functions are prefixed, eg. the field to fill in your name is an editbox, though the @options tag is used as with any other value. Also the "^" command works very differently in CREDITS.TXT than normally.

The Truth About Civ2 Squares - #109	Allard Hoefelt

Tips Thread
(Civ2)

I was experimenting with Kobayashi's nice tips on uses for terrain2.gif, but found out that the conventional way of laying squares next to each other is not exactly correct. Normally, this is not very serious, as a few points more or less don't matter, but in these matters of fitting images next to each other in order to create a larger picture, it is of vital importance.

Theories About AI and Land Mass Numbering - #96	Panda

Tips Thread
(Civ2)

By "land mass numbering" I'm refering to the number the game assigns to each seperate land mass; those that aren't connected to another tile of another land mass. When you're in view mode, and you see the coordinates of the tile in parentheses, eg (120,78)3, that 3 refers to the land mass number.

Vikings - Across the Oceans - #3	Mathias Köster

Historical Scenario
793 (Civ2)

File 1
File 2
File 3
File 4

"Oh Lord, and save us from the Norsemen!" Common prayer in the Dark Ages

To set sail and conquer that is what many believe to be the Viking nature. That is not legend; it is, however, only one side of their history. There is no single cause for the sudden onslaught of Vikings against the shores of medieval Europe, their restless travels and their search for a new and better life elsewhere across the Atlantic. That is why this scenario is not only about the conflicts of the time but also about their exploration and settlement of both sides of the Atlantic and their failure to adapt to a new world that never really understood them..

Vikings 3.1 - #87	Harlan Thompson

Historical Scenario
850 (Civ2)

The year is 850. After a period a chaos surrounding the fall of Rome, Europe has settled down to a period of several hundred years of relative peace and stabillity. All that is about to drastically change. The Vikings have begun a two hundred year period of pillaging and conquering that will leave almost no part of the West untouched. By the time they finally settled down after converting to Christianity they had profoundly changed history. The trouble was, they had great difficulty holding onto the areas they conquered, and were unable to use their military prowess to forge a large empire. Can you learn from their mistakes?

The game has also been just as throughly designed and playtested for the human player to be either the Abbasids or the Byzantine Empire. These two advanced powers are fighting a holy war over the control of the Mediterranean. The Abbasids are also facing a breakdown in control in the far west of their empire.

World War 2 Europe - #88	Harlan Thompson

Historical Scenario
1940 (Civ2)

The time is May, 1940. Possibly the largest and most important war in the history of the world has begun. Hitler plans nothing less than domination of the entire world, to recreate it with his twisted, racist visions. WW2 has been raging for almost a year in Europe, but only now is the German Army ready to strike through France in a in rapid blitzkrieg. France seems doomed to fall, but where will Hitler strike next?

Playing as the Axis the choice is up to you. Operation Sea Lion- the invasion of England. The conquest of Greece and/or Yugoslavia. Invasion into the Middle East. Elimination of Malta and/or Gibraltar as a threat. The choice is yours but act fast, because the Russians are rapidly mobilizing for war and Operation Barbarrosa- the invasion of Russia- can't be delayed for long.

Meanwhile the United States sits safely across the Atlantic, covertly aiding England. Once the U.S. joins the war with its huge economy, time is truly against the Axis. For the Allies have embarked on a program to build the atomic bomb which could singlehandedly decide the war.
