I'm dowloading AOMII as I type... biggest download I ever made, by a long way! Already got the much smaller AOMIII patch. Are there any in-depth reviews of these games floating around, outside of the actual Ages of Man website?

I sincerely agree with everyone who has said it's a shame: why did Activision have to abandon the Call to Power series?

Clicked the link, did not see something explaining what "ages of man" is.

Is it a CTP2 expansion pack? No references to CTP on the site. (Parts of the site (probably pictures) isn't loading in IE.)

Ages of Man is an extensive CTPII modification, incorporating numerous other mods and fixes.

So far, though, I can't get it working - it doesn't recognise the CTP2 CD-ROM, which is required, so the game won't launch! Can anybody advise me on this?

There is a known issue about CD recognition. However, I've never experienced the problem.

I do think it was addressed in the .pdf manual towards the end under 'bugs'. Also, you can ask the fans and creator at the official forums: http://www.interwebgames.com.au/aomforum/index.php?sid=1b6c9fea

Thanks. I had already enquired with the Karpinskis though, they sorted it for me.

VERY challenging game. Even on "easy" level.

I have ecnountered the same issue, but the posted link is dead and google couldn't help me either (nor could the official site of the mod or Apolyton).
I already tried to fix this with no-cd-crack and no-cd-patch but no effect. So this post is propably my last hope. I would not mind to never have played original CtP but this mod seems so promising that I just have to try it.
Don't have much hope for help but I keep my fingers crossed.

In the folder of the executable (..\ctp2_program\ctp\) there you have a file called texture.dat, you find this file also on the CD. To make the game pass the CD check both files must be identical. Stan included that file in the mod, so if your CD isn't identical to his CD then you have a problem. To fix this problem just replace the texture.dat in your ctp2 executable by the version on the CD.
