The download is not available for legal reasons. Offering money in return won't change anything - no amount of money would be worth getting Abandonia shut down.

The game is still sold online, however:

I was wondering... was there ever a shareware version of the original Civ? The game itself isn't available here for good reasons which I totally respect and thus shareware is virtually the only free way to play the first Civilization instalment. So, does anyone know of such a release?

Best game for years, the only drawback is the technology doesnt gets after todays tech. It would be nice to have the possibility to get Real future technology.

For what my memory's worth: Future Tech, in all Civ games, are there as bonus points. Since the tech tree, in theory, could be infinite, there is a cap, a point where you run out of new "cool stuff to discover". Can't have infinity running riot in a limited space such as on a hdd or cd now, can we What's more irritating is the fact that after you have made every city improvement and wonder, and you have built all the units you want, you need to continuously create units. It was fixed in Civ 2 where you'll get money instead of costly units.

Other than that: Civ has it's limitations but it's still one awesome game!

When you've built everything that you ever want to build, it's time to start using the excess to build Caravans...

Having a massive military isn't as good as having 200 Caravans creating wealth every turn, IMO.
The only problem is, you have to AutoGo them all and deal with the logistics of that...

Mind - if you get to that point, and you haven't already won by Spaceship or Conquest, then you're playing on a difficulty that's too easy!

I can't get this game to start. I am using DOSbox but every .exe I run from the download file just leads to a dead end.

the main .exe just gives me a message about Mini Extract Utility Version 2.04c

The install exe takes me to an install screen but I cant get it to work either.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Cool A must

This game is a must for anyone that likes addictive tactical and strategic gaming.
Your main focus should be city expansion until around 1000 AD.
Play Hard.
