Set it up

  1. Unpack the downloaded archive.
  2. Put the files of Civilization 1 for DOS in a folder named CIVILIZATION next to Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop.exe (or Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop on Linux/macOS), as in the picture. The CIVILIZATION folder is the original game from 1991; it is not part of this project, but it is easy to find online, for example on the Internet Archive: search for "CIVILIZATION.zip Civilization 1991 DOS".
  3. Run Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop.exe (or ./Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop on Linux/macOS).
The unpacked download: the CIVILIZATION folder with the original game sits next to Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop.exe.
The unpacked download: the CIVILIZATION folder with the original game sits next to Civ_1_5_Remastered.Desktop.exe.

Saved games stay in the CIVILIZATION folder, so a new version only needs the same folder next to it.
