Civ I Succesion Game
 

After discussing women, cars, sports, isdg, the hague and a lot of other bullshit Stapel and Beam are proud to announce the first Civ I succesion game on CDZ! Be sure to see some shiny pictures of the original. Just found the diskettes, Stapel is still looking for them in his junkyard. Will those 4 720k jewels fit on my HD and will it run on XP? Will it recognize the soundcard? Does it know Ati Radeon? And can we launch BC? And do we remember the copyright protection question techs?

Whatch this thread!

Cool (this is not a signup)
Also a great idea - you probably should have PP post about it on the portal page noone seem to be using [:p]



Cant u just use Civ 1 for windows btw?

Where can I get CIV1? [:p]

Great! Post a lot of screenies please!

[jump] Screenies Please ! [jump]

This is gonna be a popular thread!

I never played CivI but did read a lot about it.

For a start:

CIV 1........ [love]

I have located my ancient civ1 5 1/4 floppies. A friend of mine, who lives in Apeldoorn of all places, has them (at least he thinks he still has them). They are quite useless anyway, as I do not have a 5 1/4 floppydrive. I'll find a way to work around it.

Looking forward to this. It's been a while!

I wouldn't be too surprised to learn new civ1 features, as I never did SGs of course.

What level? What civ? What map?

Only 2 choises: Earth or random :)

After a quick check this morning I found it installed on my HD and it actually runs on XP [dance]. Have to find a way now to make screenprints cause it runs in a full screen DOS box.

Beam, can we get a file transfer started here???

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!

Hey - I'll reinstall my Civ1 too.

Hey, how do I get CIV1...I wanna play too [cry]

[nono];) But I plan to do a little bittie updatie on my own website soon. Civ I tips & tricks you know.

Thanks to the CFC Civ 1 forum ran by Matrix I found DosBox, a very usefull DOS emulator here: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1

And there is a lot of usefull stuff accessable thru CFC Main. Like a man. for example ;)

It allows playing Civ 1 in a window and:

Making screenshots!

This looks like a very promising starting location:

And found Spam City, a potential powerhouse! Starts on a river, 2 bonus grasslands and another river tile with a shield [dance].

OMG! I'd forgotten what that looked like! [lol]

Wow. You really do forget how hardcore we were back then to play games that looked so shit. :D

Hehe, keep in mind this is the HighRes VGA 256 colour mode. There also was a LowRes EGA 16 colour mode that I could play on my AT. Civ and associated savs ate 12% of precious 40 Mb diskspace.

Thanks for the link....
Nice screenies [love]

Didnt really enjoy Civ for Win anyway...not the genuine feeling of wonderful graphics ;)

Just sent an e-mail with some tips and tricks ;) to the addresses I know.

Paali, Shabba you also have a CDZ account?

Yep, not sure about [shabba], but I expect he has too

Hehe - I've just been listening to the IBM sounds. i forgotten how crap they were. My wife was screaming to switch it off....

Man, I wasted lots of nights playing this game. I started university 1990 so I had plenty in 1991 when civ came out. Play untill 4, 5 a, sleep because I was to tired. wake up at 11am, drink coffee, continue civ. Now I can only do that in weekends :D


Now it is time to hunt down my Civ1 disks...[runs of in a frenzy]

Ah, PP certainly does not need help with tips and tricks [coool]

Why don't you upload it Beam?

Because I certainly do not want an Atari lawyer on my arse and you neither. I provide help with tips and tricks however over e-mail :)

Just some of the choices we can make for the SG:

Map:
Earth or random

Diff. level:
- Chieftain (naah)
- Warlord (for babies)
- Prince (armor in the BC's)
- King (worthwile considering for a starter)
- Emperor (doable but a bit harsh for a starter)

Level of competition:
3 to 7

Our Civ:

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up...5_civ1civs.jpg
9.97KB

We can choose one or press Esc, get a random one and rename it to something of our liking. Max. 13 characters, no need to waste diskspace on that.

Iirc correctly the only civ specific thing that really worked was aggresiveness, the Mongols being the real backward assholes.

That's it for debate!

Just get it started and mail the save!

Did I just spend 90 minuets on playing civ1???????

Oh, the years. First (1992) on my 16 colour green XT (yes XT). Later my dad gave me his old 286 laptop with greyish bue colour and no mouse. On that thing I managed to play til 7 in the morning. And in the train of course.....
What the hell was I doing????

When did civ2 come out? 96? 97?

Let's rock stapel, more spammers that want to join the queue?

I am starting it with random map, 7 civs, King level, and the random Civ draws the Greek. Renamed to Spammies, their leader is Prins Pils. And this is where we start!

Wow. And I thought Civ1 was a myth!

[:p]

OMG!!!!!!

Hmm i think it was 1991 when i first played it, 2nd year of university, then 3rd year , then 4th year, then i got sent of in all sorts of places and did'nt have a PC to play on so 1994 was a quite Civ1 year, but was back into it in 1995 for a few games, then a friend of mine discovered that if you go on the rampage from the start you is hard not to lose. That pretty much killed it for me then.

I can't exactly remember when Civ2 came out, my guess is it must have been 96 or 97, i did'nt play that one as much as civ1.

First report!

4000 BC: Me Tene founded, build militia

3980 BC: Nadac

3960 BC: Tech set to Alphabet in order to chase Democracy

3940: Nada

3920: Nada

3900: Militia > militia

3880: Militia sees hut

3860: Pop hut, 50g

3840: Nada

3820: Nada

3800: Militia sees another hut, Me Tene Militia > Settler.

New militia finds hut N of Me Tene. Tricky cause Me Tene is undefended! Oops set tax to 100 instead of 0 :( Shitty interface.

Stapel, I am going to mail the savs, have to find out now which ones [scratch]

Found,m. There is a .map and a .sav, both are needed and sent.

Who else wants to join the Q? Be quick, there are just few open spots left!

me, but I can't remember how to set tax! [eek]

I got the mail Beam, will try tonight.

tax can be set with the + key.

screw civ1, this is the greatest sid game of them all!

now if only I could make the sounds work :( I have to do my own sound effects.

Kind Dr. Can we persuade you to share some tips and tricks with us on that wonderful game?

I played colonization 2 but i never finished a game. I do have a tip though. I think it only applies if you play as the Dutch. But you can make a mint buying a selling silver i can remember exactly how though.

COlonization, I have that one too, filled the gap between CivI and CivII nicely. BUt I think it's a bit of MMíng nightmare. So most people here will love it [lol]

And a warning for you civ1 players, working a tile with a bonus resource will change the resource!!

Yeah - I just discovered the resource changing yesterday. Damn

then the zulu came knocking on my door, my only door in fact, as I was playing a 1cc, and I said Hell no (when I should have said Hello) and they attacked...That wasnt so bad - but they killed all 4 of my defenders. Got that horrible defeat screen. Havent seen that in a LONG time....
Level: Warlord...[:p]
