How superior is Call to Power 2?

[Pangur Bán]

Bamspeedy and Anglophile make some good points. I started off playing civ2, then moved to ctp1 for a while but I wasn't that impressed; but I thought ctp2 was fantastic and when I first played civ3 it felt very disappointing and empty because of the mediocre editor and the paucity of civs, techs, governments and wonders. The fact that firaxis hadn't adopted the ctp2 the combat system almost shocked me into taking the game back to the store.
Having said all that though, the AI in civ3 is much better than ctp2's. This is the main reason that I tolerate all the poor aspects of the game. Of course, now that it's obvious that civ3 was purposely made like this in order to make money on the XP, I am hopeful that firaxis are capable of making an innovative and editor-friendly civ game.

Combat in CTP was so dumb. It tried to be tactical with ranged units and stuff like that, but it was still very easy to mass up tanks and crush them. Civ 3 isn't that good in combat either. I like AC more than the others, but it was too complicated for the average gamer. You really can't argue about that because you would only play 4 other guys in multiplayer that knew how to use the combat system properly.

This poll is a model example of how polls should be. Let's make it a rule to model polls after this one.



On Topic: civ3 is far superior to CTP IMO.

All right, this is pure tripe . Apparently trolling is not limited to the OT forums. If the thread starter cares to contact me and request that this thread be re-opened with an edited poll then I may consider such a course of action. Until then, this thread is dead (and I'm a poet )

Oh, and on another note, CTP2 was utter garbage.
