While I easily could have just released a basic pirated installer, this one uses images, archives or actual original cdroms and is very comprehensive. While a lot of the modern fixes work was done by many other talented modders, I didn't have time to credit them, but their original archives can be found in the extra folder. Extras also include pdfs of all the civ manuals.

This Collection Includes:
Sid Meier's Civilization
Sid Meier's CivNet
Sid Meier's Civilization Multiplayer Gold Edition
Sid Meier's Civilization Test of Time

To use this install you will need original files found at most abandonware sites, or you can rip your original discs to iso/bin/img if necessary (picture attached):

Also when selecting CivWin or CivNet the original installers run just SELECT defaults and SKIP creating shortcuts they WILL be migrated!





To give you the scope of this project there were an agonizing 8224 lines of code, 394 files, 42 folders, and 300 MB of data. It includes a scripted Indeo Fix, 64bit fixes, the Civ2 UI Additions, Civ2 Music fix, Test of Time Patch Project, the Test of Time official addon scenario "Time Threat Paradox", multiple fixes and choices after the original patches are applied. And backs up critical files. This is a WIP, but I'm going to after getting github setup, include a credits page in the installer, and fix any bugs (prolly civnet stupid patch again), I find. The installer would have been only 30mb had I not included the extras and documentations, so feedback on that or whatever else is welcome.

I posted this is off-topic because most of the only people that know civ1-civnet-civ2-civtot are us oldies, and yeah you kinda hang here.

Also there is a banner to my website, don't bother visiting it a stupid dead blog, but in case you can't read the font its here:

I usually go by that alias online (Drāthianna), or my older ones Dracul, Drathian (not all people named that are me though), and among not real-life friends I go by Anna.
