Leaving aside the chaff of some "age of civ II" mobile game (with its own map editor apparently) cluttering up results if not filtered out, everything just pointed back to some very old downloads provided by Mercator. At least for me might be a missing magic word to refine my search.
#PLAYCLASSIC.GAMES CIVILIZATION II PATCH#
So off to the internet to find a patch or a standalone downloadable version of the original map editor that will run via emulation on modern machines.

Unfortunately, progress on my search has stalled - predictably, opening the Civ2Map.exe file in "C Drive -> CIV2" from Windows 10 gives a "this app can't run on your PC" error (as of course would attempting to run civ2.exe itself from that folder, instead of the dosbox-launching version in the main directory), and when I tried launching it from within Dosbox it says "this program must be launched from Windows". I had assumed that it was just a matter of finding a patch to get it to work, as was the case with a similar emulation package I found of another game I still have the disc and jewel case for but can't play - classic WCII (because to heck with Reforged), which was easy enough to scrounge up online and since then my kiddo and I have been creating maps and emailing each other a new. He got Civ V on his switch and likes it, but.so many of the classic elements from my childhood tragically seem to have been dropped from the series.Īnyway, everything works great (after getting the codec tweak tool and enabling Indeo 4 anyway) but one feature that I was really hoping would function is the Map Editor.

my sequelae holy trinity, so around 96-97) and was hoping to share the joy of the full experience including charming quirks like the animated High Council with my nine year old.

I was a player of plain old CivII (guess it was "vanilla", don't recall there being any MGE or TOT qualifiers on the title, and timing checks out as this would've been the period where most of my free time was spent on my Compaq Presario '95 playing this, Warcraft II and Doom II. Have been using the dosbox emulator package in the OP for a few weeks now - very much appreciated, btw! I'm not able to post links to my modified conf file, so here is the text of it (just replace part of yours with this):Īpologies in advance for the newb ramble. So this gave me everything perfect, full screen, no frameskip, more suitable mouse sensitivity, and the ultimate package for vanilla Civ II. While I was there, I changed the video output to OpenGL, and turn frameskip off.) However, dosbox wouldn't write these changes to the settings file, so I had to make them manually by editing the nf file (this was easy as now I knew what to change.) While editing the conf file, I fixed an issue with the mouse sensitivity in the file (the file had two separate entries for sensitivity, whereas the game expects one single line, with x/y values separated by a comma.) Has anyone managed to increase the size of the play window?ĮDIT - Ok I figured it out, for a start I was editing the wrong conf file (the correct file to edit is nf and NOT nf.) So what I did was with the game running, I pressed the windows key to undock the mouse (ctrl-f10 wouldn't work to do this), and from there, I was able to play around with the dosbox settings to achieve full screen. I've tried editing the nf file to make some changes, but nothing seems to be making any difference.
My only issues with this one is the screen size, it's playing in a small window on my screen. I do have the MGE available to play on, but the changes in it just aren't to my liking. I've been playing Civ 1 in Dosbox for a few months now but was craving Civ 2 but couldn't find a tried and true (and easy) way of doing it without a lot of hassle. Let me know what you think :) The timing of this post couldn't have been better.

The solution isn't perfect of course, but through testing I've gotten it to work quite smoothly and with the original CD music aswell.Ĭredit to Edward Mendelson for Win31DOSBox, an easy to install Windows 3.1 emulator. This is done by running the game through a Windows 3.1 emulator. I decided to make an easy-to-use package that made me play vanilla Civ 2 on 64-bit Windows.
The Multiplayer Gold Edition introduces a lot of changes and additions to the game and I didn't really like the idea of being forced into playing it before the original. I quickly realized that it was impossible to run it on 64-bit windows and that most people recommended to just play the Multiplayer Gold Edition instead. I had a lot of difficulty some months ago trying to find a version of the original Civilization 2 that would work on modern Windows.
