    Freeciv old-style CivWin/Civ2 tileset (beta version)

    I made an "old style" looking tileset for Freeciv:
    http://odsiebie.com/pokaz/1322142---6b80.html

    It`s CivWin terrain with Civ2 trident units.
    This is uncompleted yet (beta version; beta=bugs).
    You can play Civ2 mode in "traditional" Civ1 (non-iso) way.
    Have a fun!

    Updated:
    - units and cities has now solid colours, like it was in CivDOS,
    - cities has black, large numbers in the middle of the tile (traditional way):

    Looks fair enough to me for what it tries to accomplish. Though personally, I prefer Civ II's usual graphics. These do have the advantage of having the units "pop" out and be more visible. I like the MINE graphics as well.

    adamo- please realize that Asher carps about everything on these forums. Stick around a while and you'll find that out.

    Good Luck,
    DC.

    Yes, I realize some things are very ugly, like some "special resources" on the map (such as "iron" on mountains, "wine" or "mine" bitmaps on hills). But these are taken from the other tileset! Some special resources in "tileset.png" file needs to be replaced with something more sensible. I told you that this tileset isn`t finished; there`s a lot to do yet!

    Thanx for the comment, DC!

    check out what I found on youtube. A guy is playing Civ1DOS:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujJ7w...38834&index=13
    First Civilization (DOS one), used 16 colours and small 16x16 tiles. It might be possible to do a special tileset for freeciv, just like you see on video, that uses 16x16x16 tiles, but 16x16 would be rather small ones... what do you think, is it worth to do?

    ...That's what I thought your aim was? Is it possible to just extract the tileset from the original game files? That would speed up a lot of your job.

    No, what I did, was taking terrain tiles from CivWin (and units tiles from Civ2 to adapt it for the Civ2 playing mode); CivWin has 32x32x64 (64 colours) terrain tiles, while first Civilisation (Dos one) has 16x16x16 (only 16 colours) tiles. That`s a significant difference. That`s why I used those bigger ones from CivWin. DOS tiles looks yet more "classical", but it might be too small to play in modern (like 1280x800) monitors.

    Oh, I didn't understand that Civ I Dos and Civ I Win had different terrain tiles.
    Thank you for the correction.
