How about going to the Troubleshooting forum and reading the "Most common problems" sticky there?

Thats not quite something I'd want someone to ask for, but the friendly folks at Civfanatics.com probably have something for that.

Oh yeah, they do. But to use some of the editors you would be spending more time getting it to work then actually using it LOL

sorry, that's nonsense...

TERRAFORM really works easy & handy on all windows versions,
but the programmer seems to be ??? ???
so 'we' may need somebody who is able cr*ck the latest version
( that was already good / o.k. / full usable )
or
is able to analyse TF and program a key generator for it.


there is an excel script (***) that does the same, but is not handy,
TF is far more specialised and 'in the game's rules'.


in all cases you need a savegame from CivDOS
where you have 'manipulate' the *.map file
with
(A) *** the EXCEL script (not recommended, but works somehow)
>>> some instructions in this thread >>>
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=2078
DL >>> http://www.geocities.com/civcrazy/civedrel1.zip

OR
(B) TERRAFORM (recommended with a keymaker)

1) What do you need to register?
You must be a civfanatics member and follow the programs instructions in the Request For Registration Key window. You must send your request by email.
2) What does The message "All other tabs are currently disabled" mean ?
These are debugging screen that have not been deleted
3) Screen size must be at least 1024X768
4) When updating to a new version, the easiest way is copy the ini file.If you install to the regular loctation it should be C:\Program Files\TerraForm\TerraForm.ini
Before you remove the old version save the old ini file somewhere. After you have installed the new version copy the old ini file to C:\Program Files\TerraForm\TerraForm.ini
This will save you from have to load the key and set the path to your map files

WOW!!!!!!!! The Holy Grail of games! been searching for it for months!
I will be recommending this website to everyone i know (I live in Wellington, New Zealand and Civ is still popular here). I used to play for hours, days on end!

Yes i agree with the other posts here that Real world map Aztecs or Americans is good strategy. If anywhere near the Russians kill them EARLY as they are pesky! RESEARCH like crazy to get ahead technologically.

Thank you for your response Blastradius, I already did a google search before I asked for a link, for the record. You were right I couldn't get any of the editors to work. Then I found one hidden in the civfanatics forum that uses microsoft excel, It worked for five minutes and then stopped so I eventually gave up. Thank you anyways.
Thank you aswell, Lalalala, for your input. I can't use terraform because as you said Dack is MIA and I don't want to register to civfanatics forum all that much either.

P.s. I haven't been able to get on for a while, so sorry for the delayed response.
