  • Fully orchestrated General MIDI arrangement playing faithfully across all 8 sound drivers (PC Speaker, Tandy 1000, AdLib OPL2, Roland MT-32, General MIDI).
  • Integrated into all key civilization events: initial tribe selection, enemy city conquest, technological breakthroughs, and palace expansions.
• Distinctive White & Red Regalia: Military unit sprites and city banners display 2-pixel alternating white-and-red stripes.
• Historical Accuracy: True Central European starting coordinates on the Earth map (Warsaw) and a dedicated pool of 48 historically researched Polish cities.

🇯🇵 Official DLC: Japan (Japanese)

• Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu leads the Japanese civilization, positioned second in the tribe selection menu (option 2).

• Diplomacy & Conflict Sound Logic:
  • Resolved audio routing conflicts when rejecting peace treaties: the dramatic war declaration audio plays cleanly without overlapping national anthems.
  • City conquest audio properly isolated to play victory fanfares without clashing background music.

🧪 Quality Assurance & Test Coverage

• 389 Automated Unit Tests:
  • Complete test coverage for civilization anthems, non-zero audio duration verification, safe anthem ID fallbacks, and audio routing state machines.

  • Classic 1991 hardware configuration screens (graphics mode, sound mode, and controls) rendered in 640×400 with pixel-perfect IBM PC ROM BIOS fonts.
• Audio engine upgrades & restored Tandy 1000 sound:
  • Built-from-scratch cycle-accurate software emulator of the Texas Instruments SN76496 sound chip (3 square-wave tone channels, 1 LFSR noise channel, 16 attenuation levels), restoring full 3-voice Tandy 1000 and PCjr polyphony.
  • Enhanced Roland MT-32 to General MIDI translation engine (RolandToGeneralMidi) with real-time patch mapping, drum channel routing, and clean controller/pitch bend handling.
  • Full support for all 6 sound options: None, PC Speaker, Tandy 1000, AdLib FM, Roland MT-32 (GM), and smart auto-detection.
• Special continuous city projects:

  • Research: converts 50% of net shields directly into scientific inquiry (unlocked with University).
  • Food: converts 50% of net shields directly into city food supplies and population growth (unlocked with Engineering).
• Resource badges in the City Screen:
  • Clear quantitative indicators centered directly on each resource's icon band (Food, Production, Yield / Trade, Luxuries, Money, and Research).
  • Occupied vs. Free split: Food and Shields now clearly show occupied (consumed / upkeep) vs. free (surplus / net) amounts (e.g. 20/2 for food or 3/8 for shields, and negative values when running a shortfall / deficit).
  • Badges display only when values reach two digits to keep smaller counts visually clean.
• Civilopedia integration: Wealth, Research, and Food continuous projects are documented across advances and improvements, as well as in dedicated Civilopedia articles.

A newer version may be out: latest version.

What's new in 1.1.0

• Wonders never become obsolete: every Wonder of the World works for as long as you hold its city. The Hanging Gardens no longer stop with Invention, the Pyramids with Communism, the Great Library with University. The Civilopedia describes the Wonders without the "until the development of" notes.
• Boarding a ship ends the unit's moves: a land unit that boards a ship now goes to sentry with no moves left, so it can no longer step on and off the ship in the same turn. Before the fix the sentry and the moves went to another unit of the player.
• Missing game files: when the CIVILIZATION folder is missing, the game shows where to put it and where to find the original game, with buttons to search for it, open the folder and try again.

⬇️ 🐧 Linux (tar.gz)  •  🍏 macOS ARM  •  🍏 macOS Intel

A newer version may be out: latest version.

The first release of Civ 1.5 Remastered: Civilization (1991) for DOS, translated to C# and running natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS, with the rough edges fixed.

What's new

• Battles in rounds: units have hit points (3, veterans 4, elite 5), so a weak unit no longer destroys a much stronger one in one roll. Health bars on the map and in battle.
• Elite units: a veteran that wins a battle becomes elite.
• Healing: damaged units heal every turn, in cities, fortified, or resting near the coast.
• Railroads: cities have railroads, so trains keep their moves through them.
• GoTo on railroads: moves along railroads are free also with GoTo and for the computer players.
• Load Game in the game menu, with an autosave every turn (20 rotating autosaves).
• Alt+H always shows the help of the turn.
• Demographics no longer overflow in large empires.
• Pillage next to a foreign city no longer corrupts the game's memory.
• Random numbers from xoshiro128** instead of the weak generator of the original.
