This is a small bonus project as I prepare to release my other bigger Civ2 mods to the world! I recently discovered John Valdez’s old mod and was massively impressed with the idea of making Civ2 look more like Civ1. I’d already been working on of a Test of Time graphics mod for Civilization 2 MGE (that nobody asked for lol) so I thought it would be fun to go the other way and ‘demake’ Civ2 to look even more like Civ1 than John had. All terrain, special resources, cities, terrain improvements, and units have been reimported from Civilization 1. More details coming soon!
Cities colours are an issue in John's mod as there's only 4 types in Civ2 plus the industrial and modern city types. John had everyone getting a regular Civ2 style city at the end but I wanted to stick with Civ1 stuff.
I made the industrial slot white and the modern slot grey as those are nice neutral colours, so when everyone ends up with grey cities in the late game it won't be all that different from the usual grey Civ2 modern cities lol. For example here's an old save I used with Johns mod where all the modern cities are grey (gameplay wise his mod is not compatible with regular saves for due to all the units, buildings and techs that are locked out/invisible but regular saves are still useful for some of my graphic tests!)
