| Version | Release date | Description | Source code size (Game+AI) |
| 0.0/0.1 | 21-May-99 | The very first C-evo version, released 9 months after I started working on
this project. Seemed to me most of the work was done. (Really!) The game is
basically playable and already contains a lot
of the features you know from current versions: random map generator, units,
movement, combat, cities, terrain
improvement, production of units and buildings, science including
military research, the supervisor mode, the AI module interface and a simple
Standard AI. However, city improvements, wonders and unit features have no effect.
There's no manual and saving games is not possible. And, of course, there are
all those small lacks that made up years of work in the end.
(Download. Concerning the graphics, this version is not exactly the original version 0.0. I had to replace several of the former game graphics by equivalents from later versions due to legal considerations.) |

| 0.6 | 23-Feb-01 | Difficulty levels and all wonders are effective now. First version with
everything contained in the game really working, but the game still has no end.
The technology tree becomes completely different from Civ II.
(Download. Concerning the graphics, this version is not exactly the original version 0.6. There were still some legally dubious items in that I had to replace.) Later 0.6.x versions add future technologies, charts and sound support. It's finally possible now to erase cities. |
