Upgraded graphics image - Civilization 2 - Terminator Future War Scenario Remaster mod for Civilization II
This is a small bonus project as I prepare to release my other bigger Civ2 mods to the world! I recently discovered Paul Heron's old Terminator Future War scenario and was impressed with his world building but disappointed with the lack of total conversion graphics so I decided to quickly overhaul them and create a more immersive total conversion scenario set in the dark Terminator future war world within the limitations of the old Civ2 MGE engine. It's 20 years too late but I'm doing it anyway haha! More details coming soon!
Here we go.. not too bad for 2 hours work lol.
I took the burnt forests from the Civ2 Apocalypse scenario, darker swamp from Eivind’s Civ2 Colonialism scenario, and replaced the jungle with the rotting swamp (as it looks kinda burnt) from Civ2 Test of Time. Used some old paint shop pro 7 darkness and moonlight filters on all terrain and then converted back to Civ2's colour palette. Also played around with a few of the units to make them darker and fit in better (eg ships). Replaced the default modern cities with some eerie ones called ‘Dark Metropolis’ from Harlan Thompson's city collection but grayed our their big brown walls. Also applied the darkening and moonlight to the cities file to ensure faction colours, flags, and fortifications don't look too bright against the night world. Replaced the diamond/cell flashing selector cursor with the Civ2 Master of Orion Jr scenario scanning one as it fits a terminator scenario perfectly haha.
Looks more like that post apocalypse ash covered night world now that we loved seeing in the films. No doubt someone could convert it to Civ2 Test of Time and do even more amazing things but I'm happy with this..
