Important Question: Please Read
Hello, this is regarding the Civ2 scenario editor.

Is there any way to change the owner of a city, without destroying it and building an identicle one?


Thanks in advance.

Yes there is. Remove all the defenders in the city, use the cheat menu to set the civ who owns the city and the civ you want to own the city at war, then set the human player to the civ you want to own the city, create a unit next to the city and then capture it.
After you do this remember to check the city's improvements and replace anything which gets destroyed

However, destroying and rebuilding the city is probably easier. Place the cursor on the city, and hit < Shift >+< d > to quickly destroy the city, then create a settler and rebuild the city in the same place.

Thanks Case. Is there any way to "Copy" the city, so that is easier to replace after the original is destroyed? You know, besides writing all the improvements down on a piece of paper .

Or, use a diplomat or spy to: Subvert city (Goldx2, no incident).The city is captured intact. Then using cheat mode, replace the cash.

Okay, I figured out what the (Goldx2, no incident) means, there is an option to pay twice as much gold and not have an incident. But I couldn't pick it with every civ, only some. I wonder why?

Well thanks for the help guys, I am doing prep work for a scenario I am planning for Civ3.

Update: *Timeline knocks head with fists* errr i probably didn't have enough money ........duuuhhhhh

what is my mind comming to?

Hey, I have another question (this one may be a little harder).

How do I change a civ's color?

I know it probably has something to to do with the colors in the "Icon.gif", right?

Everytime I try to edit this file that game crashes when I load up.

Any suggestions?

Subvert city appears only when you have enough in your treasury to pay twice the cost of bribing that particular city. The cost can vary, depending on what size it is, its' improvements and even what techs the owning civ has. But unless the owning civ is a democracy, you should be able to subvert every city if you have enough money.

Colours are set in the Cities file, not the Icon file. There are little stripes right above the flags which control the civs' colours. Better have a read of Leon Marricks' Advanced Scenario Design paper or visit the tips section of Scenario League http://sleague.apolyton.net/Guides/tips_main.shtml for the specifics.

if you hit ctl+shift+c you can copy all the improvements from another city that still exists. if your making a bunch of cities have the same improvements this might be the way to go.

You must also be at peace with the civ you are trying to subvert. Once you are at war, you can only incite revolts. Subverting will also cause cease-fire agreements to expire. *Very* handy if you are a Democracy.

One very useful tool is also Gothmog's "Civcity", with which you can simply change the city's owners, founders, improvements and trade routes with a mouse click. Particularily helpful when you want to work on Barbarian cities. This tool can save a lot of time.
