I made a “master sheet” with all the tiles to keep things organized. I implemented a new material system for tiles. In addition to the visible texture, each tile had a lower resolution bitmap which defined the material at a given spot. They are now baked into tiles, so map editing is much easier.

Two to five players build the French village of Carcassonne, one tile at a time. Piece by piece, you define the features of the village: cities, roads, cloisters, and fields. Tiles must be built to where features are continuous – you can’t simply run a road into the city wall. The titles are randomized.

So, why should I go back to make a historical, tile-based 4X game? Civ inherited this mechanic directly from Empire, a game from the 80s which had much of the same tile-based, turn-based combat as Civ but without the scope of all human history. Every Twitch stream, you’ll always see a “is this the new Civ?” somewhere in the comments.
