    CTP1 vs Civilization

    There's a setting you can alter to make the units' movement almost instantaneous. Under graphical settings I think. Move the slider to the far right and the units will fly...

    The "Civ" Clones. Call to Power, Aplha Centauri etc

    CtP II is worth playing, just not out of the box. There are mods aplenty that fix it sufficiently to make it a very good game, and many would argue even better than Civ3. However, getting any useful feedback on it on CFC is somewhat difficult. Drop into Apolyton for the CtP community. Note...

    CTP1 vs Civilization

    CtP2 runs on the same game engine as CtP1, the graphics should be the same clarity, at least on the map. But you are right, they beat the hell out of Civ graphics.

    Sentence Pattern

    It comes from German pronounciation, which has much stricter rules AFAIK. ei is pronounced i, ie is pronounced e. Thus the english rule, I before E when the sound is "ee". Exceptions are generally, from Latin or French words where the sound is "a", or "i", or "uh" or.. etc. These are often...

    Where to buy CTP2

    CtP2 players from Apolyton, about once a week. :) You might want to try BestBuy for a new copy, but the BBC reported in their article about the source code that it isn't for sale new any more. We had a quick go at tracking some down, but I don't know. Is getting it second-hand a major...

    Is it a good idea to get rid of the minimum wage

    Teenagers, by and large, suck. I know - I am one. However, minimum wages are a good way to stop complete exploitation of people without qualifications to get better paid jobs. In America, it's a bit weird, because tipping is such a big thing in restaurants and stuff where low-wage jobs are...

    Games to stretch the mind

    I've played GoMoku. I can never be bothered to study the game patterns well enough to win every time, but I was among the best in my group of friends. I still shout the word as a sort of Anime-style Martial Arts battlecry. goMoKU!!

    CTP is the best civ game I have ever played.

    And yet it still pales in comparison to CtP2's moddablity.

    Apolyton Refugee Camp

    :lol: The fact that it has been almost exactly a year keep confusing the hell out of me. I've seen year old refugee camp threads two or three times now, and wondered why they were started two days before poly went down. and right in the middle of the DG chat as well! Aaargh.

    What's the deal with Call to Power?

    CFC has never really had any proper CtP coverage, but it got shifted into a SubForum following the reshuffle. Basically Sid's former company sold the rights to Activision, who made C:CtP, and then Sid took the name back so he could make Civ3. C:CtP isn't truly a civ game, and thus CFC hasn't...

    CTP2 is not utter garbage!

    no official CtP3. Only the product of a couple of years modding. Check out the Apolyton CtP2 modding forum. Its a bit busier than this one :)

    CTP2 is not utter garbage!

    Nah, I think they deliberately dropped the space layer. Advanced AI and Diplomacy is in the works. There's a fine balance in getting an AI that can attack, but knows when not to.
