Civilization Genre HD Video Series:
Welcome to the first episode in a huge video series years in the making where I show you how to play each classic Civilization genre game (including spinoffs) in 1080p HD, while showing off some of their best scenarios and mods along with their interesting and sometimes very different console conversions, plus also trying to play as the Barbarians in each game too. Naturally this first main episode is about Sid Meier's Civilization 1! :) Later in the series I'll also be looking at fan games and naturally at some point I'll get to the more modern Civ games that don't require any tricks to play in HD and will still tribute them too of course! In many cases there's simply too much to cover in one main episode so I'll also be making special extra bonus episodes to compliment the main episodes in the series, so stay tuned!

Main video on playing Civ1 in HD with mods & scenarios:
Years in the making this is a huge video tour showcasing Sid Meier's Civilization 1 in HD using CivWin (NOT CivNet) in a virtual machine with some of its best mods and scenarios. This is the first main episode in a huge series showing people how you can play classic Civilization genre games in HD on modern systems with some of the best enhancement mods out there. I try to show off some of the best fan made scenarios too (yes, there were scenarios for Civ1!), along with some lesser known console conversions, and I also show you how to play as the normally unplayable Barbarians 8th Civilization slot.

Video Notes:
If everything looks too small then you're probably viewing this video on a small screen or phone. Unfortunately Civ1 has no built in zoom controls so if you want things to be bigger then lower the Windows XP resolution inside the Virtual Machine and the game will resize to fit.
If it feels a bit choppy and slightly schizophrenic that's because '3 different Blakes' worked on it haha! Basically I made the video in 2018, then came back to it in 2019 and added lots of stuff, and then came back to it again in 2021 and deleted a bunch of stuff & added even more new stuff lol! I tried to intermix and smooth out the transitions between old and new footage as best as I could so hopefully it's not too bad.
Just to reiterate as there's still been some confusion. This video and these mods are about CivWin (Civilization for Windows), not CivDOS, and not CivNet. While CivNet appears very similar to CivWin it is NOT identical and these mods & scenarios are NOT compatible with it.

How to play in HD on modern systems guide:
Now you can see below how I did it and play Civ1 in HD yourselves!
1. Setup a Windows XP VM using VirtualBox. Below is a video guide on how to do that:
youtu.be/7RQyhgvbqKY (https://youtu.be/7RQyhgvbqKY)
(NO I will not illegally give you a copy of Windows XP, use google search lol)
2. Download a copy of Civilization for Windows (NOT NetCiv), copy it's files into a folder in the XP VM, and test it to make sure it works.
(NO I will not illegally give you a copy of CivWin, use google search lol)
3. Download my Full HQ Soundtrack for CivWin from below. Install it over the top of the game files:

4. OPTIONAL - Download Honza's DOS graphics for CivWin mod from below. Install it over the top of the game files:

How to play in HD on modern systems guide:
Now you can see below how I did it and play Civ1 in HD yourselves!
1. Setup a Windows XP VM using VirtualBox. Below is a video guide on how to do that:

(NO I will not illegally give you a copy of Windows XP, use google search lol)
2. Download a copy of Civilization for Windows (NOT NetCiv), copy it's files into a folder in the XP VM, and test it to make sure it works.
(NO I will not illegally give you a copy of CivWin, use google search lol)
3. Download my Full HQ Soundtrack for CivWin from below. Install it over the top of the game files:

4. OPTIONAL - Download Honza's DOS graphics for CivWin mod from below. Install it over the top of the game files:

Civilization 1 Website Tribute Page:
As part of this huge series I'm also making tribute pages with HD pictures and extra info for each game in a big new WIP Civilization series section on my retro gaming website Blake's Sanctum (be warned - the sites navigation is full 90s retro too lol).
