looking for a call to power mod

[orindoomhammer]

ok what im looking for is a mod that adds some of or all of the call to power 2 game addons.

stuff such as space units/citys underwater cities and the city/civ upgrades. ctp2 was the game that really hooked me on the civ games and i really miss haveing some of the things it did.

if one doesnt exist then i would like to try my hand at building one.

For a call to power like mod you should try either Rise of Mankind or Quote Capita. Quote Capita is a bit more polished and more stable, but isn't as comprehensive. In fact if you're asking for a Call to Power like mod, Rise of Mankind is probably what you're looking for. I am slightly apprehensious to recommend the mod though, as I think new users try RoM out because it is so popular and think all mods are as unwieldy; these users then never end up trying out some of the very well designed mods out there because they think all mods are presented and play like RoM, which is flatly not true. RoM is the poster child of a "MOAR" based composite mod, great if you want more stuff and want the most complex gameplay available for Civilization; but not good for someone that wants a professional quality game that could be marketed and sold by Firaxis in it's own right. For you though, saying you want a Call To Power, definitely try Rise of Mankind; I'm fairly certain it is exactly what you are looking for, and you'll enjoy it quite a bit.

acctualy im quite hesatent to try most mods as many are centered around combat. im more of a diplomat in playing. and i use my "Allys"(i use the term subjectively") and subterfuge to conker my enemies. very seldom do i acctualy resort to open war. though there are just some leaders that i cant help but wanna clean the floor with.

ill tryout rom and see how it goes. if its not what im looking for i will be back with questions and what not on how to either tweak it to my likeings or make a mod from scratch to do what i want.

and thank you for your speedy reply.

i do have one question though. why is the ctp games not listed here. are they seen as bastard immitations or just the uncle that nobody speaks about unless its nesassary? ctp 2 is the game that truly got me into the whole civ game world. even if it wasnt created by cid, i still think its one of the best games of the series.

You might want to look at the future mod, which adds space and colonizable planets to the normal civ game.

@phungus420 acctualy after reading the info on the mod it doesnt sound like what im lookingfor at all. im not looking to change the game play so drasticly. as i useualy just play the vanilla bts, im mostly just looking for a mod that adds the aspects to the vanillia game not changing to a totaly differnt game. i suppose i should not have said changes the game play mechanics, i should have said adds to the game play mechanics. im not saying the mod is bad or unfun but just not what i was looking for. i just want a mod that adds space stations above the clouds with special units to play there like in ctp, and underwater citys, like ctp, maybe a few map scripts that change how the map plays per turn. as in adding or drying up lakes as well as raiseing the ocean or lowering it. depending on the status of the global polution. but i would just settle for adding the new units. guess ill start there.

@The J

that is also not what im lookingfor but it does look intresting and more of what im looking for. im looking for something far more simple. just an added age befor future age and some new units that inhabbit the upper atmospher as if there flying but really high. and some ocean colony's. nothing so elaborate. i dont want game play mechanics changed from the origional bts as it is just adding a new element of stratagy i guess. ima take a look at the mod wiki and see where i should start on this. cause i dont think what im looking for is out there yet.

granted these mods look great but there just not what i want. and well with this game being so moddable i feel i should beable to have exactly what i want... even if i have to roll up my sleeves and get too it.

thank you for trying to help though but i feel my destiny doesnt come with an assistan... oops i mean premade mod.

You can't add new concepts and create a Call to Power like game without significantly changing things, like the tech tree, unit progression, and civics. These all must be changed to create a CtP like game. There is no straight BtS mod that simply adds underwater colonies and space stations; such a thing isn't possible. I still contend RoM is closest to what you are looking for, and you will enjoy it if you try it out. Quote Capita is much simpler though (and more stable, QC is what I'd recommend to most folks wanting an expanded future era), so you could give that a try as well; but in the end I just don't get what a BtS game with space colonies and underwater cities would look like, especially since a CtP like experience is what you are asking which would also require heavy changes to units, civics and the tech tree.

i never said i wouldnt give it a chance just saying its not what im looking for. i like bts alot. i just wanted to exand on somethings where i feel it fell short on, that ctp didnt. the only 3 civ games i have ever played are civ 1 ctp2 and civ 4 in all its flavors that it shipped with, includeing the colonies pack, i dont have much use for it tho it does present its own distinct challanges, its just not as entertaining.

if the mod that i want isnt possible then i guess ill have to persue other intrests then. its disapointing to know that though after seeing how modable and hearing how modable this game is, finding out that what i want isnt possible even though it sounds simple incomparason to what i have been shown and what i have seen is not possible. well thank you for your help and time.
