Trakoria

Download the Scenario Files

The Trakoria scenario is divided into two zip-files:

Trakoria.zip (393 Kb)
Sound.zip (3 068 Kb)

Download these files simply by clicking on their names above.

The Sound.zip file is optional, but recommended if you like to hear sound effects while playing! (Turn off the sound effects in the Game menu if you don’t download Sound.zip!)

Installation

You will need a zip unpacking program, like Pkunzip.

  1. First create a directory named Trakoria in your Civ2\Scenario\ path.
  2. Then simply unzip both zip-files into the Trakoria directory. The wav-files included in Sound.zip will automatically be located in a subdirectory called Sound.
  3. Done!

The catalogue tree should now look like this with the custom installation of Civ2:
C:\mps\Civ2\Scenario\Trakoria\Sound

Update Trakoria

To get the latest version (currently 2.0) download the files Trakoria.zip and Sound.zip.

To find out if you have an outdated version of the scenario, check the !ReadMe.txt file located in your Trakoria directory. If you don't have such a file, you probably have version 1.05 or earlier...

To update your scenario files, first empty your entire Trakoria and Trakoria\Sound directories. Then simply unpack the content of the Trakoria.zip and the Sound.zip files onto your Trakoria directory.
